World Cup Accumulator Tips

Tuesday brings another step forward in the opening phase of the 2026 World Cup, with four more fixtures on the card and a chance for Ben Smith to build on Sunday’s winning 42/1 World Cup acca.

Each matchday throughout the tournament, Ben will put together our World Cup betting tips and previews using BetMGM prices, hunting for value in player and team stats, disciplinary markets, shots and other angles that sit outside the standard result and goals markets.

Groups I and J are next to enter the competition after the previous two days introduced teams including Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. That still leaves two sections waiting in the wings, including England’s Group L, which begins on Wednesday.

France’s clash with Senegal headlines the first half of the schedule in East Rutherford before Iraq and Norway follow in Foxborough. The focus then switches to Group J, where Argentina open against Algeria ahead of Austria’s meeting with Jordan in Santa Clara.

There is plenty of pedigree on show, and with all eight teams making their first appearance of the tournament, there are opportunities to find value beyond the obvious markets.

France v Senegal - Over 4.5 Senegal Corners (3/1)

France enter another World Cup carrying familiar expectations after repeatedly producing deep tournament runs under Didier Deschamps. They still boast enormous attacking depth and few squads can match their options in the final third, but this group does not look without flaws. Injuries, questions over balance and a defence that has not always looked completely convincing mean they appear slightly more vulnerable than some of France’s recent tournament teams.

Senegal look well equipped to ask questions of France. They have the athleticism to match them physically, enough quality to keep the ball when required and a defensive setup that rarely gives opponents easy openings. They are also far more front-footed than reputation suggests.

Corners lines can be difficult to judge when sides like Senegal rarely face opponents of France’s level, but there are enough signs that they can contribute here. They won seven corners in a friendly against Brazil last year and have averaged 5.9 per game since.

Iraq v Norway - Julian Ryerson Over 1.5 Fouls (14/5)

Iraq have a couple of useful free-kick winners down their left side. Merchas Doski draws more than two fouls per 90, while wide forward Ali Jasim also does plenty of work in that area and should help create repeated one-on-one situations.

That could make life awkward for Julian Ryerson. Norway’s right-back is an aggressive defender who rarely shies away from contact. He committed two fouls in each of the warm-up friendlies and had reached that mark in six of his previous eight starts for the national team.

Given the matchup on his flank, his price to commit two fouls looks far too big.

Argentina v Algeria - Over 7.5 Algeria Shots (Evens)

I’m a little sceptical about Argentina’s chances of defending the World Cup. The talent is obvious, but there are more doubts around this squad than there were four years ago. Alexis Mac Allister never quite looked at his best last season with Liverpool, Cristian Romero’s fitness is a concern and Nicolas Otamendi is now 38.

It would be foolish to write off Lionel Messi entirely, but even his influence may not be quite as overwhelming at this stage.

Algeria will not come here looking to just survive. Their 4-3-3 is geared towards getting players forward quickly, creating openings through movement and working attacks into wide areas. Given there are still defensive concerns in this side, leaning into their attacking strengths may be the smartest route. If they play with that mindset, double figures for shots looks achievable.

Austria v Jordan - Marcel Sabitzer to Score or Assist (3/4)

Austria return to the World Cup for the first time since 1998 and do so looking very different to the side Ralf Rangnick inherited. His influence has been clear, with a more aggressive approach out of possession and a greater emphasis on winning the ball in advanced areas. Austria look to attack before opponents can reset and several players are well suited to that style.

Marcel Sabitzer remains one of Austria’s key players and arrives in North America in excellent touch. Under Rangnick he averages 0.78 goal involvements per 90 and has produced five across his last three starts for the national side.

Against a Jordan team that may find the jump in level difficult, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder looks well placed to get involved again and appeals in the goalscorer market.

Accumulator Odds 52/1

Senegal’s attacking approach can translate into corners against a France side with a few question marks, Ryerson faces a busy evening against Iraq’s strongest flank, Algeria look capable of producing enough volume to clear a modest shots line and Sabitzer arrives in the sort of international form that makes him difficult to ignore.All four together give us the chance to follow up Sunday’s big winning acca.
