​FIFA World Cup -- Portugal vs Switzerland Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

At Lusail Stadium on Tuesday, Group H champion Portugal will take against Group G's runner-up Switzerland.

 

Portugal

Portugal made a strong start to their campaign. They only needed one point in the last round of group games to guarantee themselves the top spot and automatic entry into the knockout rounds. Ronaldo's poor performance in front of goal is a major issue. Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva, a midfield duo, are primarily responsible for scoring goals.

 

Switzerland

Switzerland began their incredible journey to their first World Cup by winning two of their opening three games in Qatar. They have never before won three games at a single World Cup finals and have missed the quarterfinals in seven of their previous efforts.

 

Prediction

The Portuguese are hoping for the championship, and based on their first two performances, they have a rather cohesive team dynamic. Since it will be difficult to divide the second number into two parts, the Swiss are unlikely to close in defense. We think there will be a lot of objectives in the conflict.

 

 

Pick: Over 2 Goals

FIFA World Cup Last 16th – Croatia vs Japan

 

 

Analysis:

FIFA World Cup Last 16th in the earlier kick off on Monday 5th December, Angie has expected a game that we could see it may go into extra time. Plenty of freak results from the group stage had brought a lot of surprises and caught most punters off guard, worldwide bookies are already profiting from the margin they have gained just on the group stage alone. Angie is hoping to land you a 4th win in a row with free tips today, so mark my word from the queen of hearts of football!

 

Japan – the Blue Samurai have been very resilient from their Group stage so far and pulled off a surprise result. Having beaten Germany and Spain 2-1, their confidence and self-belief is on a high, however, a shock loss to Costa Rica 0-1 is a concern to me when the pressure is on the Japanese.

 

Croatia - a very disappointing show in this world cup so far, they had only managed one win, a 4-1 over Canada, and came from behind in the early stage. Then the Croatian drew blank against Morocco and Belgium did not convince me a bit from the former 3rd place finished back in the 2018 World Cup. Players are also aging and this is a weakness that the Japanese could exploit.

 

Odds Analysis

Japan ranks 24th in the FIFA World Ranking, whilst Croatia ranks 12th. Worldwide bookies put Croatia as the favorite with Asian Handicap at -0.5, however, the odds already drifting away on Croatia showing most punters believe Japan could hold on for a draw in the last 16th. Japan 1X shows a decent value at the price of around 1.83 on average.

 

Asian Goal Line opens at 2.25 goals, bookies neither keen to see too many goals. With so many 0-0 results in Group games, surely not another one. I expect a 1-1 draw perhaps with Both Team To Score at odds of 2.08 Pinnacle seems a decent investment option.

 

Head to Head

 

Last 2 meetings, both games ended up with under 2.5 goals.

 

Verdict:

 

First Choice: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

 

​FIFA World Cup -- Netherlands vs USA Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

The World Cup 2022 last-16 stage will get underway on Saturday afternoon when the Netherlands and the USA square off.

 

Netherlands

With seven points from three games, Louis van Gaal's team won Group A to guarantee their place in the round of 16. The Netherlands have amassed a remarkable 18-game unbeaten streak in all competitions after being eliminated from Euro 2020 by the Czech Republic.

 

USA

In Group B, the USA finished second to England. Their victory over Iran was also their first triumph in six games across all competitions. In fact, the USA hasn't defeated a UEFA team at a World Cup since 2002; instead, they've drawn with them six times and lost five times.

 

Prediction

Gakpo and the rest of Van Gaal's crop are still a very formidable opponent due to their ruthlessness. We can only imagine the Netherlands moving on to the quarterfinals thanks to their strong defensive record.

 

 

Pick: Netherlands win

FIFA World Cup Group G - Cameroon v Brazil Match Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Group H is down to the final game to see which nations will end in 2nd place to gain entry into the knockout. Brazil, they already qualified and won't feature key players such as Neymar, I doubt they will play seriously in this final Group H game.

 

This world cup so far we had seen strange results, such as Japan beating Germany, Tunisia beating France, and Saudi beating Argentina. It doesn't sound like Cameroon beating Brazil is not impossible.

 

Cameroon must beat Brazil and hope Switzerland loses to Serbia at the same time in order to qualify, not impossible but chances are slim.

 

Brazil so far all games resulted in under 2.5 goals in the group stage, they are good at attacking but not many goals. I expect this game will result in under 2.5 goals simply because worldwide bookies did not open a higher Asian Goal Line than 2.75.

FIFA World Cup Group H – Ghana vs Uruguay on 02/12/2022

 

 

This should be the highlight of a match in this World Cup, forget everything else guys as most of you would know this match between Ghana and Uruguay in the final game of Group H is a war. Angie was still a student back in 2010 watching this famous game when Uruguay’s Luis Suarez used his hand to block a goal-scoring opportunity in the 119th minute in extra time and denied Ghana from qualifying for the Quarter Finals in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Times flies and Angie is no longer the sweet teenager no more, how sweet were the old days?

 

Ghana – the Black Stars knows today's game is revenge over their robbery back in 2010, they will do everything they can to qualify and force Uruguay to be eliminated from the World cup, Group H game today a draw will be good enough for Ghana to qualify into the last 16th. Ghana beat South Korea in a thrilling game by 3-2, the African Black Stars were 2-0 up but defensive errors allowed South Korea to peg back to 2-2. Thanks to Mohammed Kudus' strike in the 68th minute to make it 3-2 to Ghana.

 

Uruguay - very disappointing shows in this world cup, they have yet to score a single goal. Both Darwin Nunez and Luis Suarez showed no quality whatsoever in the game against South Korea (0-0) and were badly beaten by Portugal (0-2) in the last match. Uruguay must beat Ghana and hope South Korea does not get a better result than they do. Uruguay expects to go all-out attack, they know Ghana will play defensively today.

 

Odds Analysis

 

Ghana ranks 61st in the FIFA World Ranking, whilst Uruguay ranks 14th. Most bookies opened Asian Goal Line initially at 2.25 goals, however as Group H decider down to the very last game, Asian Goal Line upgraded to standard 2.5 goals with odds also lowering. Pretty much in line with Angie’s expectations.

 

Head to Head

 

Uruguay's 1-1 draw with Ghana back in 2010 was the only meeting between the two sides in South Africa.

 

Verdict:

 

First Choice: OVER 2.5 Goals

 

Low Risk Option: Ghana AH +0.5

​FIFA World Cup -- Poland vs Argentina Game Preview

 

Analysis:

Argentina and Poland will face off at Stadium 974 on Wednesday with the goal of winning Group C and advance to the round of 16.

 

Poland

Lewandowski finally celebrated his first World Cup goal on Saturday as Poland defeated Saudi Arabia 2-0. Poland's victory on Wednesday would ensure them the group's top spot and a berth in the round of 16, and if Saudi Arabia fails to defeat Mexico, a draw would well be sufficient to finish at the summit.

 

Argentina

Four days after the unexpected 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia, Argentina made a critical 2-0 victory over Mexico on Saturday. If Argentina wins all three points against Poland and Saudi Arabia fails to defeat Mexico by a margin greater than Scaloni's team, they will finish first in Group C and advance to the knockout stages.

 

Prediction

The only thing the Argentines need is a win. It will be difficult for the visitors to break through a very strong Polish national team defense and outstanding goalie because their positioning assaults are still lacking.

 

 

Pick: Poland +1/1.5

FIFA World Cup / Netherlands vs Qatar Tips & Match Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Netherlands will take on Qatar at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor in the last match on Group A of the World Cup.

 

Netherlands

Netherlands leads the group table but are level with Ecuador on total points and goal difference. They beat Senegal 2-0 in the opening round of this tournament, then were drawn by Ecuador in 1-1. Netherlands are coming off a 17-game-unbeten run, winning 12 times and scoring in each of these matches.

 

Qatar

Qatar have suffered their second defeat when they lost to Senegal with 1-3 last outing. In the last two rounds, they just scored 1 goal but conceded 5 goals totally. And they failed to win in four out of their last nine matches.

 

Prediction:

Netherlands would quality into the last 16 even if drawing this game. Qatar have a poor since this World Cup, thus I will back Netherlands in this clash.

 

Pick: Netherlands to win
