Co-hosts Canada kick things off at 1 p.m. ET when they take on Morocco, while Paraguay vs. France is set for 5 p.m. ET. The French remain the favorites to win the torunament, with an attack led by Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele creating major problems for defenses. Les Bleus are massive -600 favorites, and Mbappe is priced at -175 at FanDuel to score a goal any time in the match. That might not be a bad wager, but is there more value to be found on other players.

Best World Cup goalscorer picks for Saturday

• Ismael Saibari, Morocco (+185, FanDuel)
• Jonathan David, Canada (+360, FanDuel)
• Bradley Barcola, France (+175, FanDuel)

Ismael Saibari, Morocco (+185)

The versatile forward, who has spent his entire club career in the Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven, finished off the Dutch with his penalty kick in Tuesday’s shootout. He also scored in all three group stage games and has been the best player on the field for large stretched of Morocco’s matches. The 25-year-old is set to join Bayern Munich next season, and he is breaking out in a big way. Saibari was named last season’s Dutch Player of the Year and has 42 goals In 142 appearances in the Eredivisie. He should continue to make his mark with a goal in this critical match. 

Jonathan David, Canada (+360)

David is the key to the Canada attack, and he and Tajon Buchanan both will be looking to make more of an impact after both struggled in the past two games. David had a hat trick in the 6-0 victory against Qatar but has been mostly bottled up since. Morocco are tough in the back but can be beaten on the counter-attack, and if the Canucks are going to pull the upset, David is going to be the catalyst. I was leaning toward Promise David at the same price and while he could (and probably should) play a big role, he has been coming off the bench so his playing time is uncertain. 

Bradley Barcola, France (+175)

Les Bleus have an embarrassment of great players beyond Mbappe, and Barcola is one of the emerging stars. The 23-year-old has 25 goals over the past two seasons with PSG in France’s Ligue 1 and has five in his past 19 matches (nine starts) with the national team. It’s easy to get lost in the shuffle on this France side, but Barcola has been demanding attention. He has two goals in the World Cup, including one off the bench against Senegal. That Mbappe guy is really good so if you don’t mind the juice or are building a parlay, he’s a good bet, but so is Barcola. He could net you a decent profit with a goal here.
