BetVictor’s 2026 World Cup Predictions: MD5
Here at BetVictor News, we take a closer look at the odds, best bets and World Cup predictions for the remaining three games being contested on matchday 5. First up, World Cup betting favourites Spain face newbies Cape Verde, Kevin De Bruyne’s Belgium play Mo Salah’s Egypt and World Cup dark horses Saudi Arabia square off against two-time winners Uruguay.
Spain Vs Cape Verde Prediction
Our Spain World Cup preview is tipping La Roja to go all the way this year in North America. And if they can register a score similar to Germany’s 7-1 trouncing of Curacao, it will highlight their clear intent of landing a second title.
For BetVictor’s Spain Vs Cape Verde prediction, we are going to back Luis de la Fuente’s side to come away with a 5-0 win. The abundance of quality and World Class talent should prove far too hot for first-timers Cape Verde to handle.
Spain Vs Cape Verde Best Bets
- Spain over 4.5 goals at 31/10
- Lamine Yamal to score anytime at 17/20
- La Roja to win 5-0 at 10/1
Spain will be aiming for a sizeable statement win and we can’t see past that happening in Atlanta. On what is expected to be Lamine Yamal’s World Cup bow – potentially off the bench owing to a slight fitness concern – the Barcelona superstar will be gunning to score on his debut appearance on the global stage.
Spain Vs Cape Verde Odds
- Spain – 1/14
- Draw – 19/2
- Cape Verde – 25/1
As the Spain vs Cape Verde odds strongly imply, it would be one of the tournaments all-time shocks for the European giants not to taste victory. The Spain World Cup stats don’t read too well from recent editions so a fine victory is on the cards to demonstrate their credentials.
Belgium Vs Egypt Prediction
An intriguing battle awaits as Premier League legends Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah lock horns in Seattle. But owing to their overall better quality of clientele, our Belgium vs Egypt prediction is backing a Red Devils win.
A number of the 2018 ‘Golden Generation’ are still present in Rudi Garcia’s squad which will likely prove the difference. And with that in mind, we are going to call a 3-1 win for the Europeans. If that comes to fruition, it will put the Belgians in pole position to advance as Group G winners.
Belgium Vs Egypt Best Bets
- Over 3.5 goals at 13/5
- BTTS at 1/1
- Romelu Lukaku to score anytime at 11/10
Belgium are set to attack Egypt from the off and although the Pharaohs will likely try to frustrate their more esteemed opponents, the gulf in quality should be evident. As far as the Belgium World Cup stats go, they will be looking for a vast improvement on their 2022 performance whereby they crashed out in the group stages. And we fully expect the Red Devils to make the knockouts.
Belgium Vs Egypt Odds
- Belgium – 11/20
- Draw – 3/1
- Egypt – 5/1
With the fixture just hours away, the Belgium vs Egypt odds suggest a Red Devils victory is very much on the cards. Which is backed up in our Belgium vs Egypt prediction. Rudi Garcia’s side will be quietly confident of getting the job done.
Saudi Arabia Vs Uruguay Prediction
After their famous win over Argentina in the 2022 group stages, Saudi Arabia will not fear South American opposition. However, Uruguay can be regarded as one of the toughest sides – mentally and physically – to come across in the World Cup and we expect them to start their campaign with a closely fought win.
The Saudi’s will do their utmost to frustrate the Sky Blue but the CONMEBOL powerhouses should have too much about them to avoid the Argentine’s fate from four years ago. Even without Luis Suarez, the likes of Darwin Nunez and Federico Valverde can be relied upon. Therefore, we feel a 2-1 win is most likely.
Saudi Arabia Vs Uruguay Best Bets
- Darwin Nunez to score first at 18/5
- Uruguay to win 2-1 at 7/1
- Over 5.5 cards at 9/4
This is arguably Uruguay’s toughest Group H fixture and a victory will put them on track to advance. The Uruguay World Cup stats have been slightly hit and miss in terms of their last five appearances but a fiery game with plenty of cards is what we feel will happen in Miami.
Saudi Arabia Vs Uruguay Odds
- Saudi Arabia – 15/2
- Draw – 10/3
- Uruguay – 2/5
The Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay odds sit favourably in the South American’s favour and it would take a herculean effort for the Saudi’s to defy the football betting odds in Florida. The Sky Blue have too much quality in their ranks and know the importance of securing a MD1 win.
