Access data-driven sports analytics on the HOF app with this comprehensive breakdown of World Cup props, focusing on total goals, shots on target (SoT), and anytime goalscorer predictions for the 25th and 26th June 2026 matchups. Driven by historical data and advanced performance metrics, this preview highlights key targets: the Netherlands and Tunisia clearing the total goals line, Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Oyarzabal dominating shot volume, Turkiye producing consistent team shots on target, and Kylian Mbappe finding the back of the net against Norway
Currently on a four-game losing streak, Tunisia is looking to secure their first win of the 2026 World Cup against the mighty Netherlands. Tunisia is averaging three goals allowed per game in their last 5 games against top competition, including Belgium and Sweden. With the Netherlands being a more complete attacking team in comparison to those previous opponents, the total goals in the game are projected to clear the over 2.5 line.
Without their best offensive creator, Japan is facing a must-win match against Sweden to help decide their group. While Sweden's attacking power is split between Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, recent performances in both the World Cup and overall club play for the 2026 Premier League Champions, Arsenal, highlight Gyokeres as the premier target. With Japan's overall defence being very strong, ranking first overall for shots, goals, and shots on target allowed, those metrics drop slightly against strikers and forwards, falling to 3 goals, 13 shots, 4th in shots, and 6th in shots on target. The analytical angle targets 1 shot on target for Gyokeres, who, in his last 5 games, is averaging 2.2 shots on target and 1.4 in his last 20 games.
While the United States has already won the group and looks to rest a couple of players who are already on yellow cards, the squad remains empowered to continue its winning trajectory. Turkiye, on the other hand, entered as a slated dark horse for this World Cup but has already been eliminated following a second loss in the group stage, despite being led by Arda Guler. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. lineup based on rotational needs and Turkiye's own drive to end the tournament on a high note, the most reliable line in this match focuses on Turkiye's total team shots. Turkiye has generated 61 shots in their last 2 games, resulting in zero goals, but are averaging 6.2 shots on target per match. The projection is for Turkiye to clear 3+ shots on target as a team.
In one of the most exciting matchups of the tournament, Kylian Mbappe's France faces an indomitable Norway squad led by the one and only Erling Haaland. These two goal-scoring giants will be the centre of attention for nearly all betting markets in this game, especially with both superstars tied for second in the current Golden Boot race. Because the French squad is significantly more defensively solid overall, targeting Mbappe as an anytime goalscorer presents the highest value.
Uruguay's defence currently ranks 43rd for shots faced and enters this matchup heavily limited due to injury. Spain's dominant performance from their previous outing is expected to carry over, specifically benefiting Mikel Oyarzabal. The Real Sociedad forward has enjoyed another highly consistent season for his club, and that elite form has transitioned perfectly into this World Cup run. Oyarzabal is currently averaging 4 shots per game over his last 5 games and 3.9 shots across his last 2 games. This high consistency of shot volume is projected to continue, making the 3+ shots line, one full shot below his average, a highly reliable angle against a team that surrenders quite a few shots and will be relatively overwhelmed due to the overall offensive talent that Spain possesses
