Why we like it

Highest projected xG differential in the group on neutral surfaces.
USA's home advantage matters less in a group game vs a top-6 European side.
Uruguay and Senegal both have draw-heavy profiles - favours the team with the best finishing.

Côte d'Ivoire to qualify from Group E at 2.35

The Elephants open as favourites against Ecuador, have AFCON-tested tournament pedigree, and Emerse Faé's compact 4-4-2 is built for exactly this kind of group-stage grind. The price on Pinnacle looks generous.

Uruguay qualify from Group H - a near-certainty mispriced at 1.50

Spain will win Group H. The only real question is who finishes second - and Uruguay face Saudi Arabia and Cabo Verde, two of the softest non-European opponents in the entire draw.
