We’re getting to the business end of the Confederations Cup and after eight football games, what have we learnt?
We already knew that Cristiano Ronaldo scores goals, that New Zealand and Australia are better at rugby and cricket, that Germany can score penalties and South American sides could do well next year, if they keep their heads.
But have we learnt anything new which could help us with this week’s Asian Handicap Betting picks? Let’s take a look.
Russia vs Mexico (June 24, 23:00 GMT+8)
The fun starts on Saturday in Group A but there will be no laughing in the Russia Camp, particularly if they fall foul of the Mexicans. Russia haven’t had a great run, and the host team look short of conviction. But in the closing stages of their game against Portugal, they posed a threat, particularly from set pieces. If Russia can maintain momentum the home side could finally prosper.
My opening 🌟🌟 bet is on Russia, Draw no Bet at odds of 2.25
Portugal vs New Zealand (June 24, 23:00 GMT+8)
The All Whites looked out of their depth in the opener against Russia but gave Mexico a fright. They do rely too much on their most experienced scorer, Chris Wood and while Portugal’s attacking threat is well known, their defence ultimately shut out Russia quite comfortably. But the New Zealand players squared up to their Mexican opponents when tempers flared so they won’t roll over.
New Zealand to win with a +2.50 start pays 1.87 for a 🌟🌟 bet.
Chile vs Australia (June 25, 23:00 GMT+8)
The Soccerroos won an unexpected point against Cameroon but the experience, power and attacking threat of Chile may well be a step too far. Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez was on target against Germany and midfield powerhouse Arturo Vidal has been immense. The Aussies may not know what hit them.
Chile to be ahead at half time pays 1.87 for a 🌟🌟🌟 bet.
Germany vs Cameroon (June 25, 23:00 GMT+8)
Group B’s final game brings together a misfiring Cameroon side and an inexperienced Germany but Joachim’s Low’s team has showed all the composure and team ethic we expect of the Germans. Cameroon, on the other hand, have rather fluffed their lines, particularly in front of goal.
So for another 🌟🌟 bet, how about Under 3 goals at odds of 1.86.
