World Cup Betting Tips: Jamie’s Saturday 3.57/1 Accumulator Treble

After two seasons of good profit, our 3-3-3 columnist Jamie Pacheco is back with a World Cup special edition of his 3-3-3 column, where he picks out a daily treble. His Thursday column was a sweet 4.13/1 winner that put him back in profit heading into the weekend.

He has three selections for Saturday's matches starting with cards to hit the over in the Brazil vs Haiti match. Check out his selections and why below as he takes us through his World Cup Betting Tips...

For the past two years, I’ve been running the 3-3-3 column.  

Here were the rules regarding how it worked.  

3 - The number of different selections making up the acca. 

3 - The number of different (non-English) European Leagues the selections are taken from every week. 

3 - The minimum odds (3/1) or 4.0 if you prefer, that the acca will come to it every week. 

And these were the column’s results over the past two years, so pretty impressive stuff.   

• 2025-26 season Current P and L: +16.5 pts  
• 2024-25 season’s P and L: + 16.9     
• World Cup P and L: +0.83 

There will be a special edition of the 3-3-3 column during the Group Stages of the World Cup and possibly beyond. Of course, there won’t be matches picked from three different leagues this time round as they’re all from the same competition, but there will be picks from three different matches, and they’ll always come to at least 3/1 across the acca. So we’re keeping things as close as possible to the classic 3-3-3 format.  

RECAP: Good news: a fine win for the column on Thursday at odds of 4.13/1 puts us back in profit of +1.83 points thanks to getting two goals in South Africa v Czechia, getting four cards in Switzerland v Bosnia and over 9.5 corners in the Canada v Qatar. The latter was one of the easiest wins we’re going to get in a 3-3-3 selection, given there were 20 of them, of which 19 were for Canada. So nice to be back in profit, but we won’t be building on that today, seeing as we fell at the first hurdle in that one, as we failed to have BTTS in the USA v Korea match, which finished 1-0.  

But we feel better about things now that we’re back in the black and looking to kick on.  

• Brazil v Haiti       
• Saturday, 20 June, 01.30 
• Back Over 2.5 cards @ 8/11    

Brazil will have been somewhat disappointed with that 1-1 draw against Morocco, though there's no shame in drawing with that lot, one of the best-drilled and most in-form teams in the tournament.  

But it was the standard of their performance rather than the result that will have raised a few eyebrows and rather than going out to make a statement here and trying to win 3-0, right now they’d happily take 1-0 and put themselves in a strong position to qualify to the next round, even if it’s not as the group winners.  

Then again, Haiti were decent against Scotland, so that Brazil win is no certainty, while if the boys in blue and yellow get going, they could rack up the goals. 

So I’d rather focus on the cards market and go with over 2.5 cards here.  

The key to this bet is that Brazil are generally good for at least one of their own, whoever they’re playing.  They got two against Morocco and before that, one against Egypt, none against Panama, one against Croatia, four versus France, one against Tunisia, one against Senegal, none against Korea, two against Bolivia and one against Chile.  

So as you can see, they are generally good for one. Hardly surprising when they have the likes of Vinicius, Bruno Guimaraes, Casemiro and Paqueta, all ‘walking bookings’ in the team.  

Casemiro alone got five in those 11 matches, so the boosted 4/1 he gets a card here should see some business.  

Of course, we also need Haiti to do their bit, and we’ll probably need two from them to get over the line. At least we’re helped by the fact that Alejandro Hernandez is in charge, a man who averaged 4.2 yellows over the last seven and dished out a further seven reds.   

• Netherlands v Sweden      
• Saturday, 20 June, 18.00 
• Back Both teams to Score @ 8/11   

At the same 8/11, I’m going with BTTS in this one.  

Any game between two well-matched sides has a good chance of goals at both ends, but especially when Sweden is playing.  

Thanks to that 5-1 win over Tunisia, they’re now on a seven-match BTTS streak and with five of the last six between these two having goals at both ends, the stats are certainly in our favour.  

• Germany v Ivory Coast      
• Saturday, 20 June 21:00  
• Back Germany to win @ 8/15  

Whereas it’s not worth reading too much into that 7-1 win over Curacao given the standard of the opposition, there's no arguing that Germany looks in fine shape with quality and experience all over the pitch and endless options to bring off the bench.  

Ivory Coast just got over the line in that first game, but this is a very different kettle of fish.  

Germany are after all on a 10-game winning streak that included beating some tough teams like USA, Ghana and Switzerland, so they should get the win here.  

James’s Fun Fact  

Germany’s 7-1 win over Curacao featured six different scorers, with Kai Havertz the only man on the field to have scored two.
