Access data-driven sports analytics on the HOF app with this comprehensive breakdown of World Cup props, focusing on shots, shots on target (SoT), and team goals trends for the 18th and 19th June, 2026 matchups. Driven by historical data and advanced performance metrics, this preview leverages the HOF app to highlight key targets: Dan Ndoye maintaining his shots on target volume for Switzerland, Edmilson Junior pacing the attack for Qatar, and Folarin Balogun leading the charge for the USMNT alongside Malik Tillman. Furthermore, track critical metrics for John McGinn's shot lines for Scotland and Brazil's team goals line against Haiti.
After a disappointing draw in Switzerland's opening game against Qatar, the Swiss are looking to collect their first three points in their highly anticipated matchup versus Bosnia-Herzegovina. Dan Ndoye has enjoyed a stellar domestic season with Nottingham Forest and aims to continue that impressive form on the international stage.
In the recent match against Qatar, Ndoye was an absolute focal point of the attack, recording six shots with two hitting the target. Looking at his historical data across his last 20 games playing for the national team, he is averaging exactly one shot on target per match. This baseline consistency makes his prop line to register just a single shot on target a premier selection for Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Switzerland betting markets.
The Qatari national team has historically proven surprisingly resilient when facing European competition, and the squad looks to continue its solid form against the struggling tournament hosts, Canada. Operating as a dynamic right winger, Edmilson Junior remains the engine of the Qatari attack.
The forward has been averaging 1.3 shots per game over his last 20 games. That volume slightly jumps to an average of 1.4 shots per game over his last 5 games, a notable stretch of form that includes draws, a loss to Ireland, and a win against Switzerland. Facing a vulnerable Canadian backline, targeting Edmilson Junior to clear the line of 1+ shots provides excellent analytical value.
Following an incredible performance featuring two goals (three including a finish ruled offside) all eyes are focused on Folarin Balogun to spearhead the USMNT attack. During his club campaign for Monaco, Balogun proved to be a relentless offensive threat, averaging 2.6 shots per game in Ligue 1. On the international stage for the United States, his volume elevates significantly, averaging a stellar three shots per game over his last 5 games. This impressive attacking form is expected to continue as the United States looks to build on a record-high scoring start to the World Cup.
Another elite player to watch in the American lineup for the United States vs Australia USMNT clash is Malik Tillman, who averaged 1.1 shots per game across his entire season at Bayer Leverkusen. Tillman put together an outstanding performance last Friday, notched a crucial assist, and fired off five total shots, with two hitting the target. Both options stand out as premier World Cup player prop picks.
Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn enters this international window on the heels of an excellent domestic season. McGinn averaged 0.9 shots per game in club play for Aston Villa; however, his offensive involvement spikes significantly when representing his country.
McGinn's average jumps to 1.1 shots per game across all matches, reaching 1.2 shots per game in core international competitions. Consequently, the expectation is for McGinn to comfortably register at least one shot, even when matching up against a heavily defensive and structured Morocco side. For bettors utilising advanced sports analytics, this shot line offers a high-probability floor.
Following a frustrating draw against Morocco last week, Brazil will look to unleash the full potential of its attacking prowess against a relatively underpowered Haitian defence.
Haiti generally surrenders a high volume of opportunities, allowing an average of 11 shots per game across all competitions, which translates into conceding 4.3 shots on target per match. Brazil possesses more than enough elite quality to exploit these defensive gaps, clear the over 2.5 team goals line, and secure their first three points of the group stage.
