FIFA World Cup Quarter-Finals – Netherlands vs Argentina on 09/12/2022

The last time these two nations met was 8 years ago in Brazil when both countries competed in the semi-finals. The Netherlands remembered their pain when they lost on a penalty shoot-out by (4-2) after a tight 0-0 draw in regular time. Argentina then went into the final and lost to Germany in Brazil, this season could well be the last attempt for Lionel Messi who is desperate to win the World Cup.

Netherlands were not losing in the result in any of their games in this World Cup but this time they face one of the main candidates for the trophy. The Netherlands’s top scorer Cody Gakpo scored one goal in each of the matches in Group A and could be a new rising star for the Oranje in the near future. With the Netherlands having won 8 matches from their last 10 games that could end today against Argentina, the concern is on their defense as they conceded 8 goals needlessly. They should have no injury worries, with Depay and Gakpo most likely leading their attack.

Argentina had won 8 in their last 9 games and scored 26 goals with only just 3 goals conceded look pretty solid in defense. However, the Albicelestes conceded against Saudi Arabia and Australia shows up where the Netherlands could exploit their slow reaction at their defensive back four. Messi, Alvarez and Gomez will most likely lead their attack in a version of a 4-3-3 formation. Papu Gomez did sprained his ankle, but has time to recover. Angel Di Maria missed the game against Poland, but should be back for this game.

Both teams have the quality of players in their arsenal to find the back of the net so I am going with the option of both teams to score goals.

Spain and Germany’s Group E matchup today evening will cause the Al Bayt Stadium.

What a match to end this week! Germany lost to Japan in what was a bit of an unlucky one. They did defend horrendously on the second half and Flick was absolutely lost with his gameplan after Japan made some tactical changes. While losing to Japan 2-1, Hansi Flick’s team did not perform well. Given that the Germans are anxious to salvage something from their second group game and that they will approach Sunday’s match with an attack-minded strategy, the both teams to score betting option should be taken into account.

The Spaniards couldn’t imagine a better start of the World Cup tournament, as they appeared brilliantly against minors from Costa Rica and hammered them with a convincing 7:0 victory. Spain is definitely entering this clash with their morale skyrocketing after their latest perfect appearance, and judging by what they have shown last time, it is almost impossible to see them failing to score.

Both teams have the quality of players in their arsenal to find the back of the net so I am going with the option of both teams to score goals.

Serbia will play against Brazil in the first round of WC in group G.

Brazil’s attack is just too strong. Neymar looks so, so strong this year – 11 goals and 9 assists in 14 games in Ligue 1. Add to that the talent of Richarlison, Raphinha, and Paqueta. They are without title on WC for twenty years and they are certainly the main favorite to win this group and probably the WC.

Serbia have Dusan Vlahovic, Mitrovic, Tadic, Kostic, and Milinkovic-Saviz who are great in attack – Serbia’s playstyle under Stojkovic is also more attacking, which has been proven in WC qualifications and UEFA Nation league, where they finished in front of teams like Portugal and Norway. Brazil have two veterans in defense Alves and Silva and I think that Serbia should be able to exploit that and at least score one goal.

Brazil have scored at least 3 goals in 6 out of last 7 games – likes of Tunisia, Ghana, Korea, Paraguay, Chile, and Bolivia have all been destroyed this year. Serbia meanwhile have scored 18 goals in last 6 games. Brazil and Serbia played each other in the 2018 World Cup, and it ended 2-0 to Brazil – I think 3-0, 2-1 and 2-0 are the most likely results, so I’m playing the conservative line here. I struggle to see a game where Brazil doesn’t score 2 goals.

Given their strong offensive capabilities, over 2.5 goals and both team to score should be good prediction for this match .

It’s finally here the FIFA World Cup in Qatar and we have an opening match between Qatar and Ecuador. Onto the opening game here and the odds looks to be on the wrong side and there are plenty of clues here to suggest why. Firstly the hosts are at an astonishing 3.30 to win the match with Ecuador who have no real international pedigree priced up as favourite at 2.25.

Of course the big clue is that Qatar are hosts and will have home advantage, and form of both teams leading up to this tournament and its evident to see this should be either a home win or more likely a draw. Qatar come into this on the back of 4 straight wins and unbeaten in 5 which included 4 South American teams.

Ecuador come into this game as serial draw experts with 7 draws in their last 10 games. Their last warm up game before the World Cup was another tedious 0-0 with Iraq and based on that evidence its simply not going to be enough against a Qatar team who will have the whole nation behind them.

If you are looking to make money on the opening game of World Cup 2022 then the 1X Qatar to Win or Draw at 1.61 is value on a match the home side simply have to get something from if they are to have any chance of progressing.
