Top Football Tips

VAR continues to dominate the women's World Cup and it also had an input at Copa America yesterday.

England v Cameroon was dominated by the new technology and even showed its softer side by taking pity on the raging Africans at the end. That was a pity for anyone like HullShaker who had tipped a penalty to be awarded or others who were on cards as it was a red all day long.

So VAR continues to be controversial and will be hogging the headlines I'm sure next season when it's introduced to the Premier League.

Well done to all the winners yesterday – my only bet was a moneyback fivefold and I hit four out of five with Germany Under-21s letting me down.

Two more last-16 games at the women's World Cup tonight with USA tackling Spain and Canada facing Sweden.

Ivory Coast and Tunisia are among the teams in action at the Africa Cup of Nations and the Copa America games at midnight are Chile v Uruguay and Ecuador v Japan.

Croatia v England at the Under-21s Championship is a dead rubber while Romania v France to decide top spot in Group C should see plenty of goals with 11 in Romania's two openers unless both settle for a draw that takes them through.

I've decided to leave the game alone and instead take a chance on England Under-21s. Aidy Boothroyd's side are heading home after defeats to France and Romania and only have pride to play for against Croatia.

England are packed with quality and Boothroyd has been under fire for their early exit. I reckon England will sign off with a win to give the manager something to celebrate.

For a double add USA Women to beat Spain in the last 16 of the World Cup. The Americans have been the most impressive side, winning all three, scoring 18 and conceding none. They should beat Spain by at least two.

    Is anyone else wondering why Juve can be backed at 4/7 for seie A? They walked it last season, i was expecting more like 2/7. De Light from Ajax looks like he is on his way, Pogba is tipped to return.
    I know Inter are tipped to sign Lukaku from Man U but i don’t see how they can close the gap.
    I would be very greatful if a few people could put up their thoughts on this.

    I have a few other questions and pointers i will be putting up running up to the start of the season. Working together we can beat these bookies 💪👊

    • Mr Fixit 5 years ago

      Mainly down to Allegri leaving after 5 consecutive titles.
      Sarri has big boots to fill but should be able to keep them on top.

    • mr h 5 years ago

      Juve 4/7 & Barcelona 4/6 which makes the double a healthy looking 1.6/1

    No joy in the corners for me yesterday in the Spain game and well done to Mallorca who came through with a 3-0 win from 0-2 down

    Difficult card today so will spend a while researching before putting anything up.

    FOOTBALL DOUBLE

    Spain W v USA W

    The US Women are on a seven game winning streak but more impressive than that, they’ve managed this without conceding a single goal. Without a doubt they are the team to beat and look the most likely to win this competition.

    USA have arguably been the team that has impressed me most and their 13-0 thumping of Thailand and 2-0 win against Sweden clearly shows their dominance at this level.

    The last time these two teams met earlier this year the US won 1-0. Spain are a good side but conceded a goal against South Africa in their 3-1 win in the opening round but have failed to score against Germany and China picking up 1pt in the process. I think they will struggle to score against the US. Their only hope will be to keep it tight at the back but will ultimately come undone at some point.

    Ranheim 2 v Orkla

    Ranheim 2 should win this comfortably. This little value in backing them on the straight win but I do think there’s value to be found in the goals markets. Ranheim 2 are currently 2nd if the league and from what I can see have put together a team worthy of winning the league this year. In their opening five home games they’ve managed to score on 27 occasions concededing 4.

    Orkla are currently in 9th position but interestingly, they do know their way to goal scoring 4 in their previous away game. They have also scored in all but one of their last five away.

    USA W to win & Under 4.5 Match Goals
    Ranheim 2 v Orkla – Over 2.5 Match Goals

    Double @ 1/1, Skybet – 3pts staked

  9. hunter 5 years ago

    Interesting game between France & Romania. Seems the markets suggest that the bookies are banking on this being a bore draw which has now shortened to odds on. A draw would see both sides qualify but if Romania win and top the group then France could see themselves out of this competition. Would be interesting to hear others opinions on this but I’m not so sure I’m buying into this conspiracy theory! If France try to play it safe and hold out for the draw then there’s always a risk of conceding a goal late on in the match. Wouldn’t scoring an early goal and having the safety net of conceding a goal later be the better tactic!?! Romania are more than capable of winning the game and I doubt they’ll hold any fear of trying to do just that. Add the fact that there will be a lot of talk about both teams playing for the draw, which if happens, would surely bring some criticism with it.
    Find this quite interesting from a betting perspective and with the draw now at odds on, for either team to win you can get odds against.

    • maccathered 5 years ago

      Usually when a game goes off at those odds,it usually holds up.

    • aarron19888 5 years ago

      yeah wh offering goalscorer markets only haha

    • Mr Fixit 5 years ago

      When a draw suits 2 teams that’s often the result and neither will care about criticism.
      Having watched Romania play it’s obvious they could win the game and stats suggest goals but who knows if they’ll conspire with each other or not.

    • hunter 5 years ago

      I understand that the odds hold-up given the situation!

      Agree to extent Macca but for every game that holds up, I find there’s plenty that don’t!

      Usually both teams still have to make an effort and it only takes a goal to change the entire dynamic of the tie. I Wouldn’t back against the draw or unders with huge confidence but there could still be some value in it at reasonable stakes. Over 2.5 at 21/10, either team to win at 1/1 & 11/4 Romania DNB is very Tempting, but that is the whole point I guess! It could well be a case of waiting to see how the game unfolds inplay if anything.

      At the very least it’s worth highlighting for anyone looking to put any money on the tie👍

    • hunter 5 years ago

      That pretty much sums it up Mr F

    • cockerspaniel 5 years ago

      I am on overs at 9/4 . Am thinking about cashing out now .

    • hunter 5 years ago

      Cockerspaniel – Kinda of why I wanted to highlight it. It’s not a game to back with any real confidence on the outcome.

    • maccathered 5 years ago

      Many games don’t hold up as you say,but many games don’t go off at 4/5 for a draw either.

    • maccathered 5 years ago

      If the odds aren’t telling you something then its time to stop betting😂😂😂😂if your on overs cashoot lol

    • cockerspaniel 5 years ago

      Yeah hunter . I just cashed out mate . Probably end up a six goal thriller now . lol

    • cockerspaniel 5 years ago

      Ha ha macca . I have just cashed oot .

    • aarron19888 5 years ago

      the Germany game last night was a bore draw to be fair – barely any corners either, a lot of games have been played as well in a small space of time, with that being said France have been totally bang average and that even includes Dembele – hence why he has 1 goal in 2 games the team are just proper average.

      Romania are the opposite just now so I agree there could be money to be made inplay, who knows maybe btts 1st half or something, but I am staying clear of bookings and corners after last night haha. made good money on the tournament and not wasting it, also have waldschmidt top goalscorer at 10/1 still running.

    • hunter 5 years ago

      Definitely the right thing to do unless it’s just a small stakes punt! Guaranteed overs now 😂

    • maccathered 5 years ago

      The way to look at it is like this,how many u21 internationals especially france go 2/1 for over 2.5 goals.If something doesn’t look right then best left alone.I’m on the draw.

  12. mr h 5 years ago

    Been having a look at the league winners for next season and Danish league grabbed my attention. Copenhagen are odds on favourite as expected,FC Midtjylland at 3/1 is a decent enough price after finishing 1 point behind Copenhagen last season but they’re 1/5 for a top 3 finish and if you bet them each way on the outrights it’s 1/2 the odds on first 3 places. All in all that’s giving you 6/4 to finish top 3 which has a really good chance IMO.

    Maybe the Danish lad could give an opinion

    • philwindy 5 years ago

      @mr h
      I think you are referring to me the Danglish guy 😉 I will see what is happening in the transfer news soon and give you my thoughts 👍
      FC Midtjylland and FCK are miles ahead of the others if they keep their profile players.

    🇳🇴Norwegian mismatch at 5pm🇳🇴

    Basement boys Frogan host Leaders Valerenga II at 5pm and it should be damage limitation for the home side who have just 5 points from their opening 11 games.

    Valenerga II have scored 17 in their last 5 games scoring 3/4/5/1/4 against much better opposition than Frogan

    Markets set high at over 5.5 goals (11/10) but worth keeping an eye on

    Lyn and Horten who occupy 3rd and 4th place dished out 7-1 and 8-1 hammerings.

    Not unreasonable to think Valerenga will hit a few past them too.

    _____________________________________

    2-2 in Norway to bring in the overs and USA do the business against Spain, whilst keeping the scoreline under 4.5. The only disappointment was the drift on odds from evens to 13/10 when I last checked but happy with that on a quiet day.

    On the subject of outrights for leagues this coming season, Celtic, Barcelona,Bayern,juventus and psg to win their leagues is 4/1. Now there’s no such thing as buying money in betting, but surely this looks a good thing?

    • alex_mufc83 5 years ago

      One thing standing out is La Liga. Real Madrid are certainly going to give Barcelona a good run this season with their signings, it’s no gimme for Barca.

    • craneguy 5 years ago

      celtic wont win it next season and real madrid in with a shout in spain against an ageing barca team………

    • heisenberg 5 years ago

      I done that last season and also had both Man City and Porto who only missed out by a few points against a resurgent Benfica.
      I took the each way option in England and Portugal which got me a return I’d say it’s also worth a look at doing.

      I’m thinking of DOING the same again with afore metioned and was also going to look at odds of a double of MAN CITY AND CELTIC FOR THE TREBLES AGAIN.

    • Mr Fixit 5 years ago

      Reckon the treble will be beyond Celtic this time and surely Man City’s focus will be Premier League/Champions League and maybe let one or both cups go.

    • Mr Fixit 5 years ago

      Would like to see who else Celtic sign and maybe more importantly who they sell.
      Juve obviously have Sarri in so let’s see what he does and Real Madrid will be much better than last season.
      Bayern and PSG look stick-ons though.

    🏆 Copa 🇺🇸
    🏟 🇪🇨 Ecuador vs Japan 🇯🇵
    ⚽ Copa America
    ⏰00.00am

    Group C final play off game tonight with chile and uruguay in the other and both secured play offs with winner of this game going to quarter finals.

    Both playing terrible of late IMO and Ecuador have conceded 10 goals in their last 5 games and 0 wins

    Japan put up a decent performance vs Uruguay and held them 2-2 and took the lead 2xs in that game where they were huge under dogs. Japan scored 5 goals in last 5 games with 2-2-1 team goals

    A draw will also see japan progress but i doubt they will be playing for a 0-0

    japan are not shy of picking up cards either and ecuador are well known for been dirty and the referee tonight is the J. VALENZUELA off Venezuela 🇻🇪 and he has dished out 8-6-10-5 Yellow cards in his last 4 games and yes you did read that correct

    based on all that and a few selections to consider for this late night encounter with alot to play for

    Sky bet is good for the booking points as i dont use 365 much for bookings etc but prices are extremely short as expected with that referee with 30+ 1/6 and 40+ 4/9
    10 yellow
    25 red
