One of the most popular types of long-term bets in major tournaments - whether it is called Euro or World Cup - is group forwarding, where we briefly look for two of the four teams in each group to finish in the top two, but doing so with a specific order so that in case of accurate prediction we get the most "rich" performance in relation to, for example, the simple prediction of the two teams that will qualify regardless of order.
In this case, then, we selected three groups in which we believe that there is some data that "leads" to specific options:
FORECAST GROUPS
C GROUP
Undisputed favorite for the first place here is France, something that we believe will be very difficult to dispute by its three opponents. Beyond that, if we take the weak Australia out of the equation, it is rather clear that Denmark and Peru will claim the second place and here after some thought we came to the second.
It is clear that the opening game between Peru and Denmark will decide a lot about the group's fortunes, with the typical home side of the match facing more enthusiasm than the possibly greater experience of some Danish players individually, such as Poulsen or mainly Eorsen. is also the barometer of the team. If Peru manages to prevail, we believe that they will have taken the decisive step to qualify, given that in the second match they will face Australia while Denmark will face France, which means a possible score then with France and Peru at 6 and Denmark with Australia 0.
So, going mainly on a program basis and hoping that Peru will start with the "right", our choice here is France 1st / Peru 2nd, which goalbet offers at 4,33.
D 'GROUP
Here, too, despite the various injury problems that have arisen and which certainly required Sampaoli to adjust some of his plans, Argentina seems to be the big favorite in terms of occupying the first place.
Based on this and looking for a possible second, after we ruled out the possibility of a new surprise from Iceland and at the same time keeping in mind what we mentioned in our original tribute during the presentation of the teams, we estimate that Nigeria can be the surprise of the group of Croatia.
On the one hand, Nigeria has always been a predictable size traditionally in the World Cup, counting three qualifiers in its five previous appearances, on the other hand, we measure the inexperience of the Croatian coach in combination with the psychology of the team, which literally hangs on a tightrope. In other words, it is what we say that if things go wrong (ie not winning the opening game against Nigeria), it seems difficult to turn the situation around, especially when the second game is followed by the game against Argentina.
As in the previous group we mentioned, so here too the key will be the first match, however for the 6,50 offered by goalbet we are willing to take the risk by choosing Argentina 1st / Nigeria 2nd.
E GROUP
Here things seem theoretically simpler, in the sense that we have a "beast", Brazil, for which it will be a huge surprise if he does not finish first in the group.
Beyond that, if we exclude from the discussion the otherwise ambitious Costa Rica, we consider that Switzerland is superior to Serbia in most areas, having a clearly fuller roster but also a much more experienced coach on the bench.
In short, we go with the two already group favorites, with the choice Brazil 1st / Switzerland 2nd to be offered at 2,75 at goalbet.
MOUNTAIN FLOW
Almost all betting companies offer Brazil as the big favorite to conquer the institution and based on our study, we do not have many reasons to go against the odds.
The Brazilians -at the given time- seem to have the most complete roster, they are more .. team than any other country that participates in the tournament and have players capable of making a difference and taking "Celesao" by the hand in the difficult moments.
On top of that, the presence of coach Tite on the edge of the bench strengthens our thinking, as he is a technician who seeks the substance and not the impressions. It is no coincidence that under his guidance its players show such dedication to their defensive duties. Unprecedented? Maybe ... But it is definitely the work of the 57-year-old technician.
Also of interest is the 3,00 in the conquest of the institution by a South American country.
World Cup Winner: Brazil at 5,00 by Betshop.gr.
FIRST SCORE WORLD CUP
When it comes to finding the potential top scorer at the World Cup - but also at every major event in general - some of the key criteria are of course how far we think the team he plays for will go, the role of the player in the team, if comes from a good season, if, among other things, he undertakes the executions of the "set up" or the opponents in the group stage.
In this case and in the betting companies, the first favorite in this special category is the Average of Argentina (10,00), the Neymar of Brazil (11,00), the Griezmann of France (13,00) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) and Werner (Germany) offered at 15,00 each. A little further back, for the story, Harry Kane of England, Jesus of Brazil and Loukaku of Belgium, all of whom are offered at 17,00.
Given that it will rarely happen to see a big underdog "fly out", in fact our choices are limited to one of the above and somewhere there begins the discard.
In our humble opinion, the three that stand out from the above are Messi, Griezmann and Kane. Some people here may be surprised that we do not include any of the Brazilians, however, although we "see" Brazil reach the final, we estimate that the scoring can be shared between several players, so the first scorer does not emerge from here.
Of the other three, then, we first have this year's "machine gun" called Harry Kane (see Manoli Iliaki's proposal), who had a terrific year with Tottenham, being the top scorer in the Premier League with 30 goals but also the top scorer in Europe with a total of 58 goals in all competitions. In addition, he scored eight hat-tricks, with the six he scored in the league being a unique record, so we are talking about a player who literally ... broke the records. Another positive element in favor of Kane is the fact that as in Tottenham, so in the national team will have the supply of Del Ali and Eric Dyer, a chemistry that bad lies will not be easily found in other teams. We also know that he will probably execute the team's penalties, so the question is one: how far can England go in the tournament?
Second case o Griezmann at 13.00 of Winmasters, who either due to indifference or simply because he was late to find himself, actually "appeared" in the final of the season, helping Atletico Madrid, among others, to win the Europa League. Its value is given while we remind you that two years ago he was the top scorer in the Euro. In addition, we know that he performs most of the "set-ups" of the team, so if we take into account the belief that France has the background to reach at least the semifinals, it is a fairly strong choice.
Finally, we have him Lionel Messi at 10,00 of Winmasters, for whom the recommendations are obviously superfluous as he is the leader of Argentina and on which his people clearly rely a lot. It is a given that he will take the team on his back, we also know that most of the team's efforts will start from his feet and will probably end. We also know that he performs that he is "set up" ... he moves in or even around outside a large area, while despite the problems that have been collected, he is one of the teams that we estimate to reach at least until the semifinals, if not further. And in any case, when we talk about perhaps the top player in the world, it is almost obvious that his name will enter the discussion of scorers - it is no coincidence, after all, the first favorite.
TOP TEAM SCORERS
Paolo Guerrero (Peru): As you all know (and we mentioned in more detail in the previews of the 3rd group) Paolo Guerrero was initially not in the pre-selection of Peru due to cocaine use in which he tested positive after a relevant examination after the October 6 game with Argentina. The final decision on Guerrero's fate was made a few days ago, with the CAS finally justifying the player, who now has the freedom to participate normally with his team, while breaking Gareca's hands. In fact, the 34-year-old looked quite warm in the friendly with S. Arabia (he scored 2 times) and after the adventure he had, he will definitely want to prove things. Gareca trusts him with his eyes closed and the 3,50 in being the top scorer in Peru does not go unnoticed at all.
Fedor Smolov (Russia): Krasnodar's tall forward is the "cannon" of the Russians. A player who in the previous three seasons scored twice the number of goals with his team while also executing the set balls. In the absence of another notable player in the group, Smolov of the host Russia (probably also has some special treatment as the host country) has a good chance of being the top scorer of the Russians in this World Cup.
Romelu Loukakou (Belgium): Although the end of the season found him in a rather mediocre condition, his reappearance in the Belgium pre-season friendlies was more than impressive, making Roberto Martinez rub his hands in satisfaction, knowing that the Manchester striker United is essentially the ... heavy artillery on the strike line. Judging by yesterday's excellent performance in the rehearsal general against Costa Rica where he showed a lot of fun scoring two goals and sharing a beautiful assist to Mertens, our sense is that this formation comes at the right time, enhancing the chances of emerging The team's top scorer in the tournament, a choice that goalbet offers at 2,75.
FINAL PAIR:
Brazil - France (odds: 25.00): We insist that the Brazilians will be the ones to lift the trophy, but we believe that the French will also make a significant progress. So, in style .. coverage we will also bet on the final pair Brazil-France.
