MRF WorldCup18 TopTips
 IT'S felt like a marathon at time but it's almost over as France and Croatia fight it out for the World Cup.

France are the bookies favourites and I'm tipping them to win it but I accept Croatia have enough fighting spirit and quality players to upset the odds.

I've posted a separate preview and put up France as the Super Single on Friday.

On Saturday I focused on the Betfred Cup openers but should have left them out. Myself and Greg advised low stakes but too many of the favourites fell short as the try to get up to speed.

Well done to any winners yesterday and good luck with all of your bets today.

I've watched a fair bit of the action from the Scottish Open this week and it looks like the weather will be the same for everyone today so the winner is likely to come from one of the final groups – probably Rickie Fowler – but they're really tightly bunched.

I've picked out a two ball treble I like from the later starters.

And if you fancy a day out at The Open on Saturday today is the final chance to enter our tickets giveaway – we'll pick the winner later.

    Lost 14 units today because of Nadal. Kerber winning bailed us out.

    3 things in tennis that are impossible to call: WTA, clay courts and left handed players…yet I still try. In all fairness though it was good to see Djokovic play his best tennis in a long time.

    Djokovic 3-0 @ 11/10- 4 units
    Djokovic to win the 1st set and match AND France to lift the trophy @ 11/10- 10 units

    Sorry its not pure tennis but not much I can do with the odds available…
    Tournament profit: +28.9 units.

    Highlighted this team last Sunday with the same bet and I’m hoping it lands today at roughly the same odds. Vietnamese league where every club averages more than a goal a game both scored and conceded.

    Runaway leaders Ha Noi T&T at home too bottom club Nam Dinh. Ha Noi have 15 wins from 18 with 2 draws and a solitary loss. They have scored in all 18 games with 14 of them seeing them pot at least 2,conceding in 11…. For 53 Against 20. They have conceded in each of their last 6,their last 4 homes…. 6-3,2-1,5-2 & 4-1

    The away side are bottom dogs although it’s tight with 2 points separating the bottom 4. They have found the net in 13 of 18 with 22 goals in 18 outings and 32 conceded. They have scored in 9 of the last 10 games.

    There’s only one outcome here and that’s a home win that has no value at 1/6 and with BTTS at 8/15 with it being top versus bottom the bookies still reckon the away side have a fair chance of potting a consolation. Score & win at 23/20 is the option then as in my opinion the home side will win at a canter and its a 23/20 single on the away side netting.

    Ha Noi T&T BTTS and WIN 23/20

    I’ll use 2 other games in the league as BTTS too use in a treble with Ha Noi T&T too score in both halves

    Ha Noi too score both halves 8/15
    Song Lam BTTS 40/85
    Than Hoa BTTS 1/2

    2.4/1 treble

    Morning gents,

    Two games that catch my interest today and I’ll start with the big one…

    COLCHAGUA VS. MALLECO UNIDO (2030 KO):

    Diving down into the Chilean Segunda here where the home side play host to a Malleco side rooted to the foot of the table.

    Colchagua have hit a run of poor form themselves but it’s goals I’m interested in; there have been 4, 4 and 3 match goals in their most recent 3 games and a steady figure in league games before then.

    Malleco have been in the goals too and, although most have been against them, just 1 of their last 7 games have seen under 3 goals. With around 75% of their last 30 games getting the green light.

    One final figure to throw into the pot – each of the (very recent) H2Hs have seen 3 or more goals and this combined with the above information makes prices look a touch on the generous side:

    OVER 2.5 MGS…4/5
    (Bet365)

    ????

    ****************************

    FRANCE VS. CROATIA (1600 KO):

    No big write-up but just think the French will swamp a dead-legged Croatian side with their pace, youth and class through the middle and up top:

    FRANCE GOAL BEFORE 54:00
    (Bet365)

    ????

    FRANCE OVER 1.5 TGS…11/8

    France – Croatia
    Very happy to see Croatia there.
    :) ????????✅

    Open game, Or Croatia will leave France to push at the start or they will try to control the game from the start.
    Doing the first, maybe we will see a fast goal from Perisic, or any from personal move from Mbape.
    Doing the second, Pogba steals the ball, pass to Mbape, runs tripped and goal.
    Anyway guys, Mbape will score for me, Too difficult to beat Croatia with passing, you need a very quick triple and shoot.
    From other side, and if you consider how they both beat Argentina, then you have to count and a 0-1 for Croatia .
    I don’t know if all you checked what happened with Vida after the end with Russia, but since then, you can not consider that Croatia is a nation of 4 million population only….

    Mbape to score
    Ht -X
    And for low stakes:

    Croatia have had no luck so far. Never a free kick for the first goal and I’m not sure about the pen either although his hand did stop the movement of the ball which led to a Croatian advantage but intentional….I don’t think so.
    They’ve been the better team so far and France all over the place at the back.

      Intentional or not it’s stopped the ball going to a dangerous area.

      It’s not easy picking winners, if it was then bookies wouldn’t exist, a bit of respect should be given. If you don’t like or agree with a tip, just ignore it or offer constuctive criticism if it’s helpful. At the same time, being humble is a virtue.

    Ante-post tips
    Chelsea to finish outside the top four was 6/5*****
    There are a good few reasons why this bet is a good one to many to mention,but my guess is Chelsea’s main route into the champions league will be the Europa league,Real Madrid have sold Ronaldo and it’s hard for me to see Hazard remaining at Chelsea,obviously if he moves then this price will drop.
    Bonkers bet Chelsea to be relegated at 250/1
    West Ham to finish in the top half at 7/4***** now 6/4 bookies are cottoning on to this now price is falling,West Ham mean businees with the signing’s they have made it shows intent and with the money they have spent you have to fancy a top ten finish.
    I will keep the rest to myself as i don’t want to be deemed biased.

    Really fancy Atlanta United tonight to score a few v Seattle. Amazing stadium they have and the 75,000 crowd will be in great voice after watching the WC final.

    Atlanta hit 2+ in each of their last three. In form striker Josef Martinez has 10 goals in his last 8.

    Bets:
    Martinez to score 2+ @ 12/5
    Martinez to score 3+ @ 9/1

    Red cards change games. Usually I tend to do well off them for goals but one after 25 and a goal just after for the Chilean underdogs saw them park the bus big time. A second red on 75 for the hosts didn’t help the cause either. Bobbins ?
