MRF WorldCup18 TopTips

RUSSIA look certs to top Group A and that will mean a last-16 meeting with Spain or Portugal.

Group B sees Spain take on Iran and Portugal face Morocco and hopes are high for two entertaining matches after the heavyweights fought out a 3-3 thriller last week.

Wednesday's other match sees Uruguay tackle a Saudi Arabia side who have looked the worst on show in Russia.

The first round of games went the bookies' way but now results should go more with form.

If you take wins for Portugal and Spain and add Uruguay to sink Saudi Arabia the treble pays a tempting 7-5 at Marathonbet.

Spain and Portugal produced the game of the tournament and both should win their final two Group B games to qualify.

Portugal v Morocco (1pm)

Portugal are first up today against Morocco who looked powderpuff as they crashed 1-0 to Iran.

They played well in the thriller against Spain and should pick up the points at a best 3-5 with McBookie.

All eyes will be on hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo who is 13-5 at bet365 to score first and evens with Unibet to net.

There were two more penalties awarded in Tuesday's games and Ronaldo won one in the opener. A spot-kick to be awarded pays 15-8 at bet365 while Portugal are 6-1 to score one.

Best Bet

  • Ronaldo to score

Iran v Spain (7pm)

Spain are no bigger than 1-6 but since they netted three against Portugal they could do so against Iran and are 7-5 with Marathonbet to score 3+.

Diego Costa was their two-goal hero in their opener and he is 4-5 with William Hill to score and 3-1 at bet365 to break the deadlock.

I like the second half to be highest scoring at evens with William Hill as Iran are likely to tire.

For this game a penalty to be awarded is 11-5 at Paddy Power and Spain scoring from the spot pays 7-2 at bet365.

Best Bet

  • 2nd half highest scoring

Uruguay v Saudi Arabia (4pm)

Uruguay face a Saudi side who looked out of place on the world stage after a 5-0 runaround by Russia.

The South Americans were pedestrian against Egypt but the likes of Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez will love facing such a ponderous defence.

Take Uruguay -2 at 7-5 with McBookie and back Cavani and Suarez to score with the double paying evens at William Hill.

Best Bet

  • Uruguay -2
