Spain
Spain beat Uruguay, so they just need to improve on Nigeria's score line to qualify, but I’m thinking they’ll want to top the group and try to avoid Brazil till the final.
The Fifa ranked team "1" takes on number "138", if this was men's tennis you would be looking at the top seed playing the wild card and winning 6-0, 6-0, 6-0.
Remember that age old adage ... "there are no easy games at this level" ... well throw that out the window... because.... It's best I stop now.
Tahiti
Tahiti thrilled the Brazilian crowd and international press with the celebrations after scoring a goal against Nigeria, their “paddle” dance may never grace the world stage again but who out there could hold back a smile or tear when it happened. Full marks to Tahiti for not parking the bus and playing some entertaining football.
BUT this is a prediction site, so I have to be clinical, Tahiti will be taken to the cleaners against Spain, and it will be up to Spain to decide if its tumble dry, or hang out to dry!
For all the forward thinking of Tahiti approach to football (and I applaud it), they were woeful in defence,
…….and that equates to one thing, GOALS Conceded
The Betting Verdict
As I said with Tahiti against Nigeria, the odds in Tahiti’s game will never be better than their previous game.
Back Spain in this one, but this should be a gauge how much of a gambler you are.
For Spain to win you bet $1 and you get a $1 back, For there to be more 4 goals you get 10%, that would take your money in the bank 2 years to achieve.
I work on a template that the Bookies know best so a safe bet is always going for something that is less than 2:! return.
It's double figures in this game, Spain brings possession and a beautiful passing game, but as every full blooded male Spaniard would like to remind you they are the country that brought you Machismo, .
I’m not even going to talk about team line up, the rubbish of the “b” side playing for places, any Spanish line up can win this contest 10 goals or better.
The Pick :
Spain 10+ Tahiti 0
