THE Confederations Cup has provided an entertaining summer stop-gap and comes to an end tonight with a fitting final.
It’s youthful exuberance versus grizzled experience with Germany’s young guns taking on knockout tournament specialists Chile. World champs Germany – seeking their first Confederations Cup title – left their established stars at home to name a young squad and the fringe men have grabbed their opportunity.
The likes of Julian Draxler and Timo Werner have lit up the tournament and the Germans have steadily improved, thrashing Mexico 4-1 in the semis with a thrilling attacking performance.
Chile have taken their full-strength squad to Russia and are going for a third straight international crown having won the Copa America back-to-back in the past two years.
The sides fought out a 1-1 draw in the group stage that saw Alexis Sanchez give Chile an early lead and the Arsenal striker is 11-2 favourite at Ladbrokes and Coral to break the deadlock again and 28-13 at Unibet to net at any time.
Chile followed up that stalemate with a 1-1 draw against Australia before edging out Portugal in the last four on penalties after a dreary 0-0.
Another draw looks likely and pays 5-2 at Betfair while Chile are 11-5 at Paddy Power and the Germans 6-4 at BetStars. I fancy Joachim Low’s men to edge it but it could well go beyond the 90 so go for the Germans to lift the trophy at 5-6 with Betfair.
The Germans have conceded in all four games so far, winning three, and while they’re devastating going forward their makeshift defence is giving up plenty of chances and both teams to score stands out at 10-11 with Betfair.
Werner has three goals in his two starts and is 7-1 at Skybet for first goal and 37-19 at Unibet any time.
In the third place play-off Mexico and Portugal – who drew 2-2 in the groups – will heavily rotate so goals is again the way to go.

get it posted pal, heart on sleeve and all that. I post all of mine, be keen to see what you’ve gone for
*Lost* Feel a bit robbed as really should have been at least 3 goals in normal time, missed penalty after 15 mins, plus lots of other chances.

Georgia U19 v Portugal U19 (17:00)
First venture into U19 territory in my punting career but having initially been drawn to Portugal team goals or overs I noticed a couple of bookies offering cards markets on this one and having spent some time looking at it there is potential for a sound investment to be made here. Davide Massa is the man in the middle and as a regular dabbler in Serie A cards markets I know a bit about his appetite for bookings. Domestically he averaged 4.53 yellows a game this past season, while he also showed 20 yellows in 4 Champions League/Europa League games, suggesting his propensity to get his cards out rises slightly on the European stage.
This being tournament football and the curtain-raiser, featuring the hosts wanting to put on a good show against a more technically accomplished side, it has all the makings of a card-laden affair, prospects enhanced even further by the stats from the sides’ last meeting just over 2 years ago which saw 10 yellows and a red dished out. There isn’t stacks of particularly current history available but from what I can see Georgia tend to be good for at least 2 or 3 cards a game in general and Portugal usually a couple themselves. On top of all that, I also expect there to be a few goals scored, quite possibly at both ends which always helps when it comes to bookings.
I’m backing 50 or more bookings points at EVS with SkyBet which in its most basic form requires 5 yellows, but can also be achieved through 2 straight reds, or 1 red and 3 yellows. Massa is not particularly prolific with his red card so I wouldn’t necessarily rush to back a sending off but I think we have a great chance of seeing at least 5 yellows to cover this off.
Georgia U19 v Portugal U19
50 or more bookings pts – EVS – SkyBet
