World Cup Monday Betting Preview Pt 2

However, if there is one thing this tournament has shown us, it is that anything can happen and that small teams are definitely capable of taking on big ones and getting results. Just ask Costa Rica.

France go into their match against Nigeria as the 1.45 favourites against the African sides 8.0 listing. The draw can be backed at a 4.33 margin and there is a lot to like about that price but it’s always better to back a draw on an in-play wager after you’ve had ten minutes or so to watch how the teams shape up and whether they look content to sit back and hang out. 

Both sides here have players that can score goals and the Nigerians will need to be at their bustling, physical best to get the better of this resurgent French side who have put together some quality performances in previous fixture. 

Germany have been amongst the favourites to win the tournament but you have to wonder about their ability to only secure a 1-0 win against an American side that has talent but didn’t play particularly well in that match-up. The German side are the third favourite to win the World Cup (behind both Brazil and Argentina) and they really do have every chance at this stage if they can progress and get a good confidence-building performance here. 

The Germans are trading at a 1.28 price tag, which is one of the shortest lines you will find in the entire round of 16. The Algerian side can be backed at a lengthy 11.0 to actually get the victory while the draw is a 5.50 price. 

Algeria are a team that has shown their ability to get results here and they only just recently ended a major World Cup scoring drought. The fact that Ramadan is occurring through this tournament definitely complicates things for the Algerians and even their coach admitted that religion will come first here. With high temperatures forcing breaks in the Holland vs Mexico game, it will certainly be interesting to see what happens here in this match.
