Monday World Cup Betting Preview Pt 1

With Germany getting the business done in emphatic fashion over Portugal and blowing their group wide open, it’s going to be interesting to see how Cristiano Ronaldo & co. manage to pick up the pieces and continue moving forward. It will be welcome news for both Ghana and the USA as now Portugal have a goal difference mountain to climb. While it’s certainly not the end of the world as of right now, they have very little leeway to work with throughout their next two fixtures.

Ghana vs the USA always seems to be a match-up we see at the World Cup, with the Africans seemingly always coming out on top. 

We have another African team taking to the pitch shortly though as Nigeria take on Iran in their clash with the Nigerians coming as the distinct favourites to get the better result of the tie. It’s impressive that we still haven’t seen a goalless draw at any point and there has been action at all ends of the pitch in nearly every game. 

While some will obviously admit that there is plenty of chance that this one could wind up being a somewhat lackluster game, it has been proven time and time again that fixtures with two teams like these can sometimes produce and outright classic. 

Punters will find Nigeria available at an odds-on price of 1.90 and you reckon they will find themselves in plenty of accumulator wagers to add extra value. They aren’t much of an outright chance without actually seeing them play and there will probably be a few people who wait to make an in-play wager after seeing for Nigeria shape up on the field and whether Iran are able to get behind their defenders easily. 

The real weakness for most African sides tends to be goalkeeping and they will have to keep their defense organized for this one if they actually expect to get all three points from the fixture.
