World Cup favourites Spain get their Group H campaign up and running tonight and should grab a few goals against minnows Cape Verde.
This is Cape Verde's first crack at the tournament and they're in at the deep end against the European champions.
Avoiding a heavy defeat would be a moral victory for the islanders but Spain will want to put on a show to justify their status as favourites to go all the way.
Spain vs Cape Verde top betting tips
The bookies reckon this will be a stroll for the Spaniards, with Bet365 pricing Luis de la Fuentes side at 1/12 and Cape Verde as big as 20/1.
It's hard finding value with Spain such heavy favourites but I like the 7/5 on offer at Bet365 for Spain -1 in the first-half handicap. That bet landed in three of their six qualifiers against stronger opposition.
The best value is probably found in the assist market, with all of Spain's players at odds-against. Barcelona midfielder Pedri can thread killer passes and also takes set-pieces so he looks good at 5/2 to set up a goal.
This could be similar to Germany's clash with Curacao, which produced no bookings as the giants dominated possession. Betting against both sides picking up a card here pays a decent 6/4 at Bet365.
Belgium vs Egypt
Belgium are heavy favourites to top Group G but their opening game with Egypt tonight looks like being the toughest of the lot.
The Egyptians have a strong defence, with Brazil the only team to score against them in the last five matches, and offer a threat on the break through Mo Salah and Omar Marmoush.
But the Red Devils have been looking pretty slick under Rudi Garcia, netting 20 goals in their last five outings, and Bet365 make them 8/13 hot favourites tonight.
I'd imagine the Belgians will have most of the ball and the corner could rack up if Egypt sit back and try to soak up the pressure. That makes over 5.5 corners for the Red Devils a good option at 10/11 while Belgium -2 in the corner handicap appeals more at evens.
If it turns into a game of attack v defence then backing Egypt at -1 in the card handicap is also worth a look at 9/4 with Bet365.

Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay
Saudi Arabia upset the odds in their first match at the 2022 World Cup and will be looking for a repeat when they face Uruguay in their Group H opener tonight.
The Saudis shocked Lionel Messi by beating Argentina 2-1 in Qatar, although the South Americans went on to lift the trophy while their conquerers bowed out after losing their next two games.
Saudi Arabia haven't reached the knockout stages since their World Cup debut in 1994 and will be hoping a return to America can see them repeat the trick.
With Cape Verde also in their group, the Saudis stand a decent chance but it's hard to see them getting anything off either Uruguay or Spain.
The Uruguayans lost just four of their 18 games in South American qualifying and have Marcelo Bielsa in the dugout.
So they look worthy 9/20 favourites and could be worth a punt at -1 in the handicap, which pays 5/4 with Bet365.
Darwin Nunez will be the focal point of Uruguay's attack and always seems to get plenty of chances. Backing the former Liverpool striker for over 1.5 efforts on target pays 6/4 with Bet365.
