Friendly, Bern, 7pm
I READ a comment earlier saying Spain should beat most teams by two or three goals.
That's true and you'd expect it to be the case for a meeting against South Korea. But this is a friendly and it's Switzerland so beware.
I'd love to know who Vicente del Bosque plans to start up front because that would help in my first-scorer choice so best probably to have a punt when teams are revealed.
Del Bosque surprisingly left Valencia striker Roberto Soldado out of his squad and is without the injured David Villa.
So he must be hoping Fernando Torres, with confidence restored after winning the Champions League with Chelsea, steps up to the plate but there are of course doubts about the £50million man.
I can see de Bosque giving Torres a run-out in the Wankdorf Stadium and he is 4-1 at bet365 and BetVictor to score first.
Del Bosque of course has Fernando Llorente at his disposal and the man who I think will be their main man in the finals, Pedro, who is 11-2 at bet355 to break the deadlock and 11-8 with bet365 and BetVictor just to score.
Whoever he starts should be too strong for South Korea who are 3-10 at BetVictor. South Korea are 11-1 with William Hill, Paddy Power and unibet with the draw 9-2 at Paddy Power and William Hill.
Recommendations
Spain -1
(5-6, Coral)
Pedro to score
new acc wi betdaq so £30 on spain -1.5 @1.97 and if all fails i’ll get free matchin bet for tomorrow. prayin it doesn’t come to that but got to take full advantage of matching bet offers :)
Is the stadium that bad?
Spain -1 should be fine tonight. South Korea are a very hard-working technically gifted side but anyone who attempts to play Spain at their own game usually ends up paying for that mistake!
However I’m going for Holland -1 instead, as they’ll not want another slip up before the serious actions gets underway.
spain starting line up strong and torres could start the euros if he gets a few gls tonight and on sat, can see them going 2 or up then making changes.
Craig, nice comfortable win for Spain in the end.
GOALLL FERNANDOOO!!!
bit dodgy after 1st half hr they kinda sat back but easy in the end, missed last gl but happy wi that. now wee cheeky fiver on brazil game, maybe -1 again
Stuck a fiver (with Skybet) on Spain -2 (15/8), Holland -1 (4/6) and Sweden (1/4) – £29.95 return. Good start to the International betting scene for the Summer :-)
