The 2022 FIFA World Cup is off and running, and Tuesday will see the start of Group C and Group D games as teams like Argentina and France play their first fixtures of the tournament. Here are our free betting picks for day three of the World Cup in Qatar.
Argentina vs Saudi Arabia
Argentina are one of the favorites to win this tournament, and just looking at their team sheet, we wouldn’t doubt them. This opening game is an interesting tilt against Saudi Arabia, but Argentina should dominate. Their entire team is well above Saudi Arabia’s in terms of talent, and if Argentina’s finishing is on point, this game could get ugly. We have already seen some blowouts in this year’s World Cup, and prospective bettors should not be scared off by the spread. Take Argentina to win in a game where they could score five or more goals.
Argentina anytime goalscorer: Lautaro Martinez
Lautaro Martinez is expected to start up front for Argentina, and he could be in for a huge game. He is going to play in front of guys like Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria, and they will make it very easy for Martinez. He is going to have consistent goalscoring chances and he has the finishing talent necessary to take them. Martinez should score with ease in this game, so these odds are far too long.

Denmark vs Tunisia
Denmark are many pundits’ pick for the surprise team of the tournament, and they have an easy matchup out of the gate. Denmark have a lot of talent and they have been playing together for a while. The Danes lost in the semi-finals of their last Euro appearance; this team is capable of putting together another run like that, and it will start with this game. Tunisia lack the talent necessary to compete with the stronger teams and they will be outclassed in this spot. Take Denmark to win, even if the odds are a little short.
France vs Australia
If Kylian Mbappe’s odds are in this range for any game this tournament, he is an auto-bet. But against Australia, this is a no-brainer. Mbappe is one of the best players in the tournament and he has already dominated in a World Cup. Now, with the absence of Karim Benzema, Mbappe is even more crucial to France’s success. Les Bleus should win this game with ease, and we struggle to find anyone on the Aussie defense who can contain Mbappe. The Paris Saint-Germain star’s odds are way too long considering his talent, and we expect the top betting sites to make a correction on his line after scoring a few goals in France’s opener here.
