World Cup Best Player Prop Picks, Odds, Predictions for Saturday, July 11, 2026
The 2026 World Cup quarterfinals conclude with the final two-game slate of the competition on Saturday. With Spain and France already through to the semifinals, they now await the winners from the other side of the bracket, to be determined on Saturday. England and Norway open the day at 5 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, with Argentina taking on Switzerland at 9 p.m. ET at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
England and Norway meet in a matchup between two European sides with little recent history. The two have not faced each other in a competitive match since 1993 and now meet in the biggest game in Norwegian football history, with the Vikings reaching the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time. England, meanwhile, is making their third consecutive appearance at this stage, having been eliminated by France in the quarterfinals at the 2022 World Cup. The Three Lions enter as slight favorites against a Norway side that has consistently defied expectations throughout this tournament.
Argentina arrives at its second consecutive World Cup quarterfinal after a dramatic comeback victory over Egypt in the Round of 16. Lionel Scaloni’s squad looked done, trailing by two goals with just over 20 minutes to play, before scoring three unanswered goals in a 13-minute spell to steal the win. They now face a Swiss side that has matched their best-ever World Cup finish by reaching the quarterfinals. Switzerland upset fellow South Americans Colombia on penalties after a goalless draw through regulation and extra time. Argentina enters as the favorite, but based on their recent performances, Switzerland will feel there are weaknesses to exploit on Saturday evening.

Saturday’s Best 2026 World Cup Player Props
- Erling Haaland (Norway) – Over 2.5 Shots on Target (+225)
- Jude Bellingham (England) – Over 0.5 Goals + Assists (+115)
- Lionel Messi (Argentina) – Over 1.5 Goals + Assists (+260)
Erling Haaland (Norway) – Over 2.5 Shots on Target (+225)
There are no words left to describe the impact Haaland has made on the international stage in his World Cup debut. The 25-year-old has scored seven of Norway’s 11 goals at the tournament across just four appearances, including both goals in their 2-1 Round of 16 victory over Brazil. There is no sign of him slowing down anytime soon.
Haaland leads Norway with three shots on target per game, reaching that mark in two of his four appearances. He accounts for 60% of Norway’s shots on target per contest and continues to produce despite drawing the majority of defensive attention in the box. It is hard to argue against backing him to keep delivering at this rate. Expect Norway to continue running their attack through their superstar striker for as long as this remarkable run continues.
Jude Bellingham (England) – Over 0.5 Goals + Assists (+115)
Bellingham has continued his impressive World Cup career in his second tournament with the Three Lions. The 23-year-old has arguably been England’s best all-around player, contributing five goal involvements to date. The Real Madrid midfielder capped off England’s Round of 16 win over co-hosts Mexico on Sunday with a brace.
He has now recorded at least one goal contribution in five of his 10 career World Cup appearances at such a young age. Bellingham has never appeared fazed by the occasion and will look to add to his impressive tally against Norway as England push for a first World Cup semifinal in years. He has outperformed his 2.01 xG and 0.98 xA at this tournament, and his quality looks set to keep shining through as the Three Lions chase their first World Cup title since 1966.
Lionel Messi (Argentina) – Over 1.5 Goals + Assists (+260)
Despite missing a penalty on Tuesday, Messi still finished the Round of 16 win over Egypt with two goal contributions. He now has nine at this tournament, sitting level with Kylian Mbappé at the top of the Golden Boot race. The 39-year-old has scored in all five of his appearances and recorded multiple contributions in three of the four matches he has started.
Argentina’s all-time leading scorer shows no signs of fading as he heads into his second consecutive World Cup quarterfinal. He faces a Swiss side that has been defensively solid, conceding just three goals — all in the group stage. Messi scored a hat trick against Switzerland in a friendly back in 2012, and despite the various defensive tactics teams have thrown at Argentina throughout this tournament, he and his teammates have continued to find ways to score. Expect Saturday evening to be no different.
