World Cup Saturday Betting Tips and Preview Pt 1

There is plenty of action still to unfold in the Group Stages after we have already seen several high-profile sides, England and Spain amongst them, crash out of the tournament with only a pair of games under their belt. Of the two, Spain were dealt with much more harshly with England condemned by a pair of 2-1 defeats against quality sides. Too little, too late for Hodgson’s men this time around.

Vincente Del Bosque has already been removed from his position at the top of the Spanish managerial ladder with his English counterpart looking likely to keep his place at least into the next Euro competition. Should England repeat their dodgy performance here, you reckon that it is game over for Hodgson at that point. 

Even a dodgy qualifying campaign could be enough to see Hodgson be sacked prior to the next tournament. Surely that moment would bring about calls for none other than Sir Alex Ferguson to take the helm.

Regardless, we have a full slate of fixtures for Saturday with a trio of interesting contests that will see a few interesting variables answered. The opener is Argentina vs Iran and this one looks to be one of the most lopsided fixtures yet from a betting perspective. 

After Lionel Messi lit up the scoreboard early to secure victory for Argentina in their opening match, they are now a microscopic 1.12 to get the result over 23.0 Iran. The draw can be backed at 8.50 and you reckon that there is very little value in this match unless you get right down into goalscorers and corners. 

The bookmakers seem confident that a 2-0 or 3-0 result is the most likely with a mere 6.50 being paid out should the game finish that way in Argentina’s direction. Even the 4-0 result is trading at single digits with a 9.0 payout awaiting should things wind up that way.
