Betting Day
Canada to beat Morocco @ 4/1
Morocco have really impressed at the World Cup, with striker Ismael Saibari and 18-year-old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi the standouts. However, the Atlas Lions now take on record-setting Canada in Houston and the Reds can’t be a 4/1 shot at this venue.
Morocco edged out the Netherlands on penalties to reach the last-16 and, while that was a solid win for a good team, the Atlas Lions were underperforming in both boxes and that’s an ongoing concern.
Mohamed Ouahbi’s men scored twice in their 4-2 group stage win over Haiti, recording a goal-scoring average of just 0.99 in their 1-0 win over Scotland and Canada looking set to trouble Morocco.
The Reds have scored nine goals in their four World Cup games and Jesse Marsch’s forward-thinking side are a dangerous asset when they click in attack.
Canada’s confidence is soaring, after recording its first World Cup win, and reaching the knockout rounds for the first time.
There is no reason to think that the athletes’ progress is about to end and it certainly won’t be with the Reds who are 4/1 to beat Morocco in Houston.
Special of the Day
France to win, over 2.5 goals and Kylian Mbappe to score anytime bet maker v Paraguay @ 59/50
France are clear favorites to win the World Cup and it’s easy to see why. If anything, a case can be made for Les Bleus to be even shorter.
Didier Deschamps’ men destroyed Sweden 3-0 in the last 32 stage of the World Cup and playing in the last 16 against Paraguay no longer looks difficult.
France scored 25 shots, nine corners and 3.24 expected goals and a 3-0 win over Sweden easily made it 4-0 or 5-0.
Kylian Mbappe also inspired France to win with the Real Madrid man who scored six goals in the World Cup. The 27-year-old has the pace to be dangerous at the back, but Mbappe has the ball handling and long-range skills.
It is hard to see how Paraguay can stop France and Mbappe. The victory of Les Bleus, more than 2.5 goals and Mbappe to score a goal pays a great 59/50 when combined with the bet maker.
Long picture of the day
France beat Paraguay 5-0 @ 16/1
On 16/1, a chance can be found for France to beat Paraguay 5-0. Les Bleus they have had the power to create chances against the opposition and Didier Deschamps’ men have scored 45 shots in their last two World Cup games.
Scored 13 goals in four games for France and it is hard to imagine Paraguay surpassing Senegal, Norway and Sweden, all of which were beaten by Les Bleus.
A 5-0 win for France pays 16/1 and that could give punters a good chance in Philadelphia.
