Spain vs Tunisia Betting Analysis
Until Argentina destroyed Serbia 6-0, Spain were considered to have put in the best performance of the World Cup when destroying Ukraine 4-0 in their opening match.The manner in which the Spanish went about their business was no surprise to the Bettingchoice staff who identified Spain as likely winners of the competition. Assuming Spain finish top of group H, which they will accomplish with victory over Tunisia on Tuesday evening - a second round meeting with the runners-up from Group G ought not to hold much fear. It will then be a likely quarterfinal against Brazil, who aren't quite as attractive as they were before June 9th. Spain are likely to remain unchanged for their second group match against Tunisia following their 4-0 triumph over Ukraine. That means striker Raul, who was a second-half substitute in their opener, will start on the bench. Tunisia forward Francileudo dos Santos is expected to miss his second match of the tournament. The Brazilian-born player is struggling with a persistent shin injury and has a 50-50 chance of playing. Roger Lemerre was bitterly disappointed after Tunisia were held to a draw in their opener against Saudi Arabia. The first half had looked very comfortable where they held a one nil lead.Unfortunately for the 2004 African champions, complacency set in and only a last gasp equaliser saved their blushes.Following that 2-2 draw, Tunisia are likely to be highly motivated for the big clash with Spain and are likely to begin with much enthusiasm.Ultimately though their European opponents will have too much class and while it may be struggle early on, I expect the winner to come sometime in the second half. Take the 7/2 on the draw/Spain.
