Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 15 of the World Cup. Ecuador vs Germany 8:00am Friday Germany WIN ($1.94) With H2H results now being the initial tiebreaker, Germany secured top spot in Group E when they beat the Ivory Coast. It means that they have the luxury of resting key players and rotating the squad to ensure they are perfectly prepared for the knockout stages. In contrast, Ecuador is likely to need all three points to progress and only have themselves to blame after failing to score in both of their matches thus far. It should…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 14 of the World Cup. Switzerland vs Canada 7:00am Thursday Under 2.5 goals ($1.72) A combination of home ground advantage and two reds card for Qatar saw Canada post an enormous 6-0 win. A superior goal differential gives the co-hosts top spot in Group B and a draw against the Swiss will be enough for them to maintain that advantage. Both nations have qualified for the knockout stages but top spot could be advantageous as it means a matchup against a 3rd placed team rather than a runner-up. Both teams…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 13 of the World Cup. Portugal vs Uzbekistan 5:00am Wednesday Under 3.5 goals ($1.50) Had very high hopes for Portugal leading into the tournament but their performance against Congo was abysmal. After Joao Neves put them in front only 6 minutes into the game it looks like they would put on a show. That was not the case as they conceded on the stroke of half time and despite finishing the match with 75% possession, they were only able to generate 7 shot attempts – one less than Congo. Something…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 12 of the World Cup. Argentina vs Austria 5:00am Tuesday | Dallas Stadium Argentina WIN/Under 3.5 goals ($2.15) Fans were treated to a Messi clinic in what was a comfortable 3-0 win over Algeria. Austria also collected maximum points with a 3-1 victory over Jordan meaning top spot in Group J is up for grabs here. The defending champions have been on fire with 8 consecutive wins dating back to October last year and they have conceded just 1 goal in that stretch – a phenomenal defensive effort. It highlights…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 11 of the World Cup. Spain vs Saudi Arabia 4:00am Monday | Atlanta Stadium Spain -2.5 ($1.95) A goalless draw against Cape Verde was a shock to everybody and Spain will be wondering how the ball did not find its way into the back of the net. They had 74% possession and 27 shots without scoring a single goal. There is no need for panic just yet as we could see a complete reversal here where every shot goes in. The Saudi’s held on for a draw against Uruguay and…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 10 of the World Cup. Netherlands vs Sweden 5:00am Sunday | Houston Stadium Over 2.5 goals ($1.88) With the Netherlands and Japan sharing the points, Sweden took full advantage with a thumping 5-1 win over Tunisia. Ayari was the star with a double and if he continues to shine in the coming weeks, the offers will come flooding in for the Brighton midfielder. His combination with the duo of Isak and Gyokeres had the Tunisian defenders in a spin meaning the Dutch defence will be on high alert. The midfield…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 9 of the World Cup. USA vs Australia 7:00am Saturday | Seattle Stadium Under 2.5 goals ($1.83) The Socceroos caused one of the biggest upsets of the tournament to date in a 2-0 win over Turkey. They displayed enormous heart in defence and took their opportunities on the counter. Co-hosts USA also collected maximum points but did so with a dominant performance against Paraguay. They led 3-0 at half time so it could have been more. The opening round of games has told us enough about how these two teams…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 8 of the World Cup. Czech Republic vs South Africa 4:00am Friday | Atlanta Stadium Over 2.5 goals ($2.05) Some may say it was the challenge of taking on a host nation in the opening game of the tournament but South Africa were completely outclassed by Mexico. The margin should have been more than two and it leave them at the bottom of the group. The Czechs opened the scoring against the run of play in their battle against South Korea but the response from the Koreans was impressive with…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 7 of the World Cup. Portugal vs Congo 5:00am Thursday | Houston Stadium Half Time/Full Time – Portugal/Portugal ($1.73) With the sheer amount of talent that Portugal is producing, it is a matter of time before they finally break through to win this tournament. Four years ago, they were stunned 1-0 by Morocco in the quarter finals and it was the first time in 12 matches in this competition that they failed to score. With a line up that includes the likes of Ronaldo, Bernado Silva, Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes and…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 6 of the World Cup. France vs Senegal 7:00am Wednesday | New York/New Jersey Stadium Over 2.5 goals ($1.85) The final between France and Argentina four years ago will go down as one of the greatest football matches ever. A hat-trick from Mbappe in that game was not enough to get them over the line and one could argue that their squad this time around is even stronger. Doue, Cherki, Barcola and Michael Olise are the major additions to a list that already includes Mbappe, Dembele and Kounde among others.…
