Day 12 of World Cup 2022 sees Groups E and F reach their respective conclusions, featuring the likes of Belgium, Spain and Germany who are all looking to book their place in the last-16.
Below, we bring you the top tips, best bets, and juicy price boosts for all the action on Thursday 1st December...
Croatia vs Belgium Tips, Odds and Offers
- Croatia vs Belgium, 3pm
Three teams are scrambling for the top two spots in Group F, two of which face off in this huge match.
Croatia, who need a draw to qualify (12/5 bet365), are priced at 89/50 (SBK) to claim all three points.
Belgium, so thoroughly underwhelming in their defeat to Morocco, have been handed odds of 17/10 (Betfair) to bounce back with a pivotal win.
Our man Tipster J is on hand with his best bets which include a 25/1 poke, while Luke Hamilton has pieced together this 11/2 Bet Builder via Boylesports, who you can join here.
When it comes to price boosts, Paddy Power offer 13/2 for Luka Modric and Kevin De Bruyne both to score or assist a goal, while Romelu Lukaku to score a header is available at 11/1.

Canada vs Morocco Tips, Odds and Offers
- Canada vs Morocco, 3pm
The other Group F match pits Morocco against Canada.
Canada have of course been eliminated but undefeated Morocco - on 4 points - find themselves in a cracking position after stunning Belgium 2-0.
A draw at 12/5 (bet365) will be enough for Morocco to advance, although the 23/20 (Betfred) available for the win could be tempting. They can still progress if Canada win (14/5 SBK), should Croatia win also. If Morocco win and Belgium win or draw, goal difference will come into play.
Steve Chambers has plucked out two bets in his match preview, including a 9/2 fancy.
Alphonso Davies is 9/4 to score or assist a goal, while Hakim Ziyech is 13/2 to have 1 or more shots on target in each half (both with Betfair).

Costa Rica vs Germany Tips, Odds and Offers
What an entertaining ride Group E has proved to be so far, with all four teams still in with a chance of securing a last-16 spot.
After losing to Japan, Germany restored a little bit of pride in a 1-1 draw with Spain but, simply put, they must now beat Costa Rica and hope that Spain defeat Japan.
The Germans are the red-hot 1/9 favourites to do just that, while Costa Rica are huge 24/1 outsiders (SBK) to claim the win that would propel them into the next round. A draw at 19/2 (Betfair) wouldn't suit Germany, but would be enough for Costa Rica should Japan lose to Spain.
William Hill's top price guarantee promotion offer means Jamal Musiala To Score First (13/2) could be worth a look, while Niclas Fullkrug is 5/6 to score for the second game in a row - see below for an odds comparison in the anytime goalscorer markets, among others.
Tipster Anton Eadson likes the look of Ilkay Gundogan Over 0.5 Shots on Target & Bryan Oviedo to be carded at 9/1 in his match preview, while Billy Grimshaw has highlighted a sizzling 12/1 Bet Builder for the game.

Japan vs Spain Tips, Odds and Offers
- Japan vs Spain, 7pm
Spain have impressed so far in the tournament which has attracted interest in the World Cup Winner market, however they still aren't assured of a place in the last-16.
So what do they need to do?
A win (21/50 SBK) will send them through as group winners while a draw (19/5 Betfred) will be enough for them to qualify.
However, a Japan win at 8/1 with Boylesports would send the Asian outfit through and it would also eliminate Spain should Costa Rica stun Germany. Madness.
Alvaro Morata to score anytime could be worth checking out at 23/20 with 888Sport, a bet which has landed in both of Spain's games so far, while he's 9/4 (Paddy Power) to have 1 or more shots on target in each half.
Morata is also the focus in Anton Eadson's 6/1 Bet Builder, while Scott Thornton has two bets for this one in his extensive preview
