Todays Football Tips for 7 Jun 2026: Analysis of 3 Key Matches, 4 World Cup 2026 Teams to Watch, Todays Match Schedule

Today's football tips for 7 Jun 2026 include analysis of 3 key matches and highlight 4 teams aiming for the 2026 World Cup. Here's today's match schedule.

On 7 June 2026, today's football tips focus on friendly matches ahead of the 2026 World Cup, featuring 4 nations preparing before the tournament starts. Follow the analysis and insights for the 3 matches as follows.

1. Argentina (World No. 1) vs Honduras (World No. 66)

- Friendly match ahead of the 2026 World Cup / Kickoff at 07:00 GMT+7.

The "defending champions" will compete in their 19th World Cup, aiming for their 4th title after finishing first in the South American qualifiers with 12 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses. After losing 0-1 to Ecuador in the final qualifier match, Argentina won 5 consecutive friendlies, scoring 16 goals and conceding only 1. In their last 11 matches, they lost just once (9 wins, 1 draw). This match likely won't feature Lionel Messi, Emiliano Martínez, or Gonzalo Montiel as they recover from injuries, but stars like Lisandro Martínez, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, and Julián Álvarez will lead the team.

Honduras missed out on the 2026 World Cup after failing to be among the best second-placed CONCACAF teams, losing on goal difference to Suriname despite equal points. Since then, they have played only one friendly, drawing 2-2 with Peru in March. Over their last 11 games, they lost only 2 (4 wins, 5 draws). However, against Argentina, Honduras has lost all 3 meetings, scoring just 1 and conceding 7. Key player to watch is 19-year-old Liverpool striker Keyrol Figueroa, who scored 12 goals in 15 Premier League matches this season, but Honduras is unlikely to challenge the "Albiceleste" significantly.

Prediction Argentina to win comfortably.

2. Croatia (World No. 1) vs Slovenia (World No. 58)

- Friendly match ahead of the 2026 World Cup / Kickoff at 01:45 GMT+7.

The "Chess Players" will play their final warm-up before their 7th World Cup appearance, starting with a group L match against England on 17 June. Despite losing their last 2 games to strong teams Brazil (1-3) and Belgium (0-2), they were unbeaten in the previous 9 games (8 wins, 1 draw), including 4 consecutive wins. They are expected to start with their main squad before resting some players in the second half, led by Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, Luka Modrić, Ivan Perišić, Martin Baturina, and Ante Budimir.

Slovenia failed to qualify for their 3rd World Cup after a winless qualifying campaign in Group B (2 losses, 4 draws). Since 2025, they have won only 1 of 9 matches across all competitions (3 losses, 5 draws), keeping just 2 clean sheets. In 12 meetings with Croatia, they have won just once, drawn 4, and lost 7. Additionally, Manchester United striker Benjamin Šeško missed this squad due to injury from the recent derby win over Liverpool on 3 May. With only Jan Oblak and Jaka Bijol as key players, the match is expected to go in Croatia's favor.

Prediction Croatia to dominate Slovenia.

3. Morocco (World No. 7) vs Norway (World No. 31)

- Friendly match ahead of the 2026 World Cup / Kickoff at 07:00 GMT+7.

Morocco prepares for their 7th World Cup after making history as the first African nation to reach the semifinals in the previous tournament, finishing 4th overall. According to official records, Morocco is on a 27-match unbeaten streak after being awarded a 3-0 win over Senegal in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final due to Senegal's delayed walkout. Since then, they remain undefeated in 4 matches (3 wins, 1 draw). This match may see them rest right-back and captain Achraf Hakimi, recently recovered from injury, but they still have stars like Brahim Díaz, Ayoub El Kaabi, Azzedine Ounahi, and Abde Ezzalzouli leading the squad.

Norway returns to the World Cup for the 4th time after a 28-year absence; their only prior meeting with Morocco was a 2-2 draw in Group A. Norway dominated qualifying Group I with 8 straight wins, scoring 37 goals and conceding 5, finishing 6 points ahead of Italy. However, in their last 3 friendlies, they lost to the Netherlands, drew with Switzerland, and beat Sweden. This game should serve as a warm-up for star striker Erling Haaland, who missed the previous match. He is expected to partner with Alexander Sørloth and possibly see Martin Ødegaard play. The match is expected to be close, possibly ending in a draw.

Prediction A high-scoring draw.
