football handicap betting tips

The South America v Europe clashes at the Club World Cup have been fascinating so far and it will be interesting to see how Chelsea's clash with Flamengo tonight pans out.

This tournament has always meant more to the teams taking part from Argentina and Brazil, something that has been reflected in the first round of fixtures this summer.

The six South American sides are unbeaten so far, with the three games against European giants ending level, so Chelsea will need to be at their best to see off Flamengo in Philadelphia.

Flamengo vs Chelsea top betting tips

Both teams kicked off their Group D campaign with 2-0 victories, as the Blues saw off Los Angeles FC and the Brazilians beat Esperance de Tunis.

But despite all those Europe v South America games ending level so far, BoyleSports make Enzo Maresca's side 4/5 favourites, with Flamengo 3/1 outsiders.

Brazil has a reputation for playing the beautiful game but that hasn't been in evidence so far, with Palmeiras and Fluminense drawing 0-0 with Porto and Dortmund respectively.

That makes me think this game could be cagey but under 2.5 goals isn't great value at just 4/5. The half-time draw is better at 11/10 with BoyleSports.

Flamengo committed 20 fouls in their opening game so that market could be profitable tonight. Full-backs Ayrton and Guillermo Varela will be up against tricky wingers and they're 9/4 and 11/8 respectively at Bet365 for over 1.5 fouls. Doubling those bets up pays 5/1.

Benfica vs Auckland City

Auckland City made headlines for all the wrong reasons in their Club World Cup opener as they suffered a humiliating 10-0 loss to Bayern Munich.

The gulf in class between the Kiwi amateurs and one of the world's best teams was all too evident and Auckland have another tough game tonight against Benfica.

The Portuguese side drew with Boca Juniors in their opener and will be going at full tilt for this one as goal difference could decide who finishes second in Group C.

Auckland were a bit naive in their opener and made life easy for Bayern by only committing four fouls in the whole game. I'd imagine they will be a lot more defensive for this one to avoid another embarrassment and might stick the boot in a bit more.

So under 6.5 goals could be worth a punt at 11/10 with BoyleSports while City stopper Niko Boxall is 10/3 to commit over 1.5 fouls.

Los Angeles FC vs Esperance de Tunis

The American teams didn't bring much to their own party in the first round of Club World Cup fixtures. with Seattle, Inter Miami and Los Angeles FC all failing to win.

LA had the hardest game against Chelsea and, although they lost 2-0, the performance wasn't that bad in their Group D opener. They now face and Esperance de Tunis side who lost 2-0 to Flamengo and will be looking for all three points.

BoyleSports make them 3/4 favourites for the clash in Nashville, with the Tunisian side 10/3 outsiders. Both sides probably need a win to stand a chance of reaching the knockout stages so it should be a decent watch.

BTTS looks decent value at 20/21 with BoyleSports while adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 13/8.

These sides only amassed a combined four corners across their opening games but that was because they were on the back foot against superior sides. With both sides going for a win we could see more flag kicks here and over 9.5 corners pays 6/5 at BoyleSports.

      They are south American champions so not a great surprise especially as the south Americans always take this competition more seriously than the Europeans.

      Same here, some cloudflare shite keeps sending you back to the start of the process all over again and again and again etc

      But admin don’t give a toss about posters as long as they are making money from the tacky adverts that have poisoned the site, hence the low numbers posting.

      Where do you post now macca, you mentioned you did so the other day, can’t be arsed with spending valuable time just trying to log on as well here at times, about an hour trying every few minutes last night trying to post the Seattle game, finally posted about 30 minutes before kick off

    Good afternoon, guys,
    Today’s punt comes from the early CWC game at 17:00
    Benfica vs Auckland City
    2+ corners each team @ 15/8 with Skybet/ Paddypower
    (Bet365 as a betbuilder, with Benfica over 4 corners, is only priced 5/4)
    Benfica should be all over this game, chasing goals, after Bayern scored 10.
    Auckland did manage to get 2 corners against Bayern, and averaged over
    5 corners/ match in the A League just finished.
    Benfica concede 4 corners to Boca Juniors in their opening game, and
    conceded an average of 3 corners/game in last season’s Primera League.
    Good luck with all bets today!!!!

    The financial value of any website or forum is directly linked to activity – the more the users interact, the greater the income & “value” the website owner will enjoy.

    If Admin invested a tiny amount of time on this site, it could easily generate far more than the Gambla “paid tips” side hustles. It’s quite sad really.

    I think admin made the change to logging in to post due to the obvious Aholes that were spamming the site on a daily basis. People were complaining and it was a pain having to scroll through all the crap to get to the tips so they made the change for good reason. The numbers posting have dropped off a cliff. Maybe it’s time to change it back it’s turned into a ghost site

    Shamrock Rovers v Cork City
    19:45
    Rep. Ireland Premier Division 🇮🇪
    Cork to score 5-4 SKYBET.

    The only team cork struggle to score against this season are bohemians despite being bottom of the league.
    They have scored in all away games bar bohemians.
    They scored home and away against league leaders shamrock .
    Shamrock always good for a couple of goals at home so predicted is shamrock BTTS and win
