World Cup 2018 Monday Betting Preview PT 1

As we begin Monday's  World Cup action we shift to 4 matches a day for the final contest in each of the group stage is playing out. There is a lot of excitement still to unfold and it's going to be going down lightning quick as we sort of the next stage of this International competition.

There are a number of groups that already seem to be settled except for who goes through first or second and we're going to see these matches playing off against each other over the next couple of days.

After seeing England put together a 6 - 1 victory over the likes of Panama, a contest that saw England Striker Harry Kane grab the top goal scorer title for now, it looks like it's well and truly game on for the Three Lions and they could be set to make a big impression when they take on Belgium later on in the week to decide who goes through as the group winner.

The opening contest on Monday sees host country Russia - who have played very well this world cup and who have had no trouble finding the back of the net in any of their matches - take on the likes of Uruguay, aside who have shown plenty of ability and should be by far the toughest test that the Russians will have faced at this point in the tournament.

Uruguay come into the contest as the slim favorites according to most major bookmakers and this could be a huge opportunity for Russia to make a big statement by knocking off a side that has placed very well in several of the last World Cup competitions.
