MRF WorldCup18 TopTips
ALL three favourites won on Monday and while I tipped all three I was unlucky with my main bets.
While I backed Harry Kane to score first for England my Super Single was Romelu Lukaku to break the deadlock in the Belgium game but he netted second and third.
The Daily Double was on Belgium and England to win to nil but Kyle Walker's flailing elbow conceded a penalty and Tunisia took full advantage to sink my bet.
Coral have cut England from 12-1 to 10-1 to win the World Cup with Brazil 4-1 favourites ahead of Spain at 9-2.

Spokesman David Stevens said: “Gareth Southgate's men left it late to secure the win over Tunisia but win they did and it's a victory that could spark the patriotic plunge we have seen so often in the past on England sides at major tournaments.”

The first round of matches are completed today with Poland v Senegal and Colombia v Japan while the second round starts with Russia v Egypt and a likely World Cup baptism for Liverpool striker Mo Salah who missed the opener against Uruguay.
I've posted a preview of all three and there are separate previews from some of the site contributors so check them out.

    Colombia have much the same side as 4 years ago but the likes of James Rodriguez and falcao aren’t getting any better but defend quite well.
    Japan are similar in stature to south Korea and will be enthusiastic while being toothless up front.
    Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the first 0-0 but Colombia might sneak it 1 or 2-0.

    No African side has scored from open play yet but I fancy senegal will against a bang average Poland side.
    The polish fans should inspire them to find the net also probably through lewandowski
    I’m on Btts here 6-5 (hills), with senegal not losing the game 1-1 or 2-1 to senegal.

    I backed Egypt pre tournament to beat Russia in this game at 4-1 and to join uruguay in the top two at 7-2, then salah got injured.
    As Egypt now need to win with a clearly unfit salah (injections in the shoulder no doubt) I will today be on Btts at 6-5 (hills)..
    It’s all about the 1st goal, if Egypt score I expect them to catch Russia on the break and score again.
    If Russia score first it’s game over as I can’t see an unfit salah scoring twice.

    Colombia under 2.5 match goals 4-6.
    Senegal Btts 6-5
    Senegal match goal in both halves evens.

    8/14 on the 2nd half highest scoring so far so with a point on each game plus half a point on the acca of the games each day am still keeping head above water and gives interest in every game. I fully believe the acca will come in at least once too so will keep going.

    Have a good day.

    Since starting these in Spain v Portugal, 7 out of 11 have landed so nice little profit building.

    Mr f. Fully agree with your thoughts on Poland v Senegal.

    Lewandowski to score. He is looking for a transfer away from Bayern and will want to put in a good performance. He has the quality to change any match.

    Also I like btts. I don’t want Poland to concede but I think we will. We’re not great at the back and with Kamil Glik likely to miss this first match this is a big loss. He should be fit and ready for Japan and Columbia matches.

    Lewandowski to score
    Btts.

    Icelandic Ladies action this evening for anyone wanting a change from the World Cup scenery…

    BREIDABLIK VS. FH (2015 KO):

    The hosts have both current and historic form going for them here; Briedablik sit 2nd top and take on a rock-bottom FH side who have conceded 4 in their last 3 successive games.

    H2H-wise, Briedablik certainly hold the bragging rights and have put plenty past their opposition including highlights of 3-1, 0-5, 4-2, 1-5, 5-1, 0-8, 6-1 and 13-0 in the last 4 years!

    Could be goals here:

    OVER 3.5 MGS…8/13 ????

    OVER 4.5 MGS…7/5 ??

    OVER 5.5 MGS…29/10 ?

    nathanufton 6 years ago

    Picking a winner in the Russia game is like threading cooked spaghetti up a cats bum. What I do like the look of though is GOALS !!
    It seems the way forwards especially since this is the highest average penalty per game world cup since records began – owing largely to the fact that defenders cannot hide from VAR when they decide to wrestle players to the ground ( unless you’re a Tunisia player that is ) – it seems they were all wearing cloaking devices. We all saw Kane dragged to the ground 3 or 4 times.

    Anyway, with King Salah back, Russia have someone who they need to keep an eye on. We know what he can do on the pitch, and we know how limp a team can be when he’s not on the pitch ( look at the stats in the Real Madrid/Liverpool final when he was on the pitch and when he wasn’t ) – Liverpool’s stats nosedived after he came off. Egypt were distinctly average in their first game and made lots of silly mistakes at the back, but Russia capitalised on home soil and slaughtered the opposition. I always felt they’d win that and my bookie paid out when they were 2 up, I then lumped on the remaining 25 mins for the Ruskies to keep a clean sheet for a nice 2/7 boost.
    Russia were hardly tested and i’d say they never played that bad, they never played that good either but their opposition was dreadful and so the 5 nil result reflected.
    VAR will probably have a say in this match, I’ve not looked at the will there be a penalty market but I think somebody on at least one of the sides will concede a penalty for a tussle in the box.

    I do like the look of over 2.5 tmg’s with betfair. @ 6/4. It looks like a gimme. Better prices are available elsewhere, I have seen 17/10 somewhere, so either shop around or wait 10 mins for a price boost if its still goaless.

    So i’ll have a fresh £10 on that.

    Good luck guys

    Not around tomorrow – 4am start to the wonderful West Midlands and back around 10pm so will post this up now:

    IRAN VS. SPAIN (1900 KO):

    Spain may have only come out of that Iberian based thriller with a point but they were good…only 1 man made it difficult and unfortunately for Iran, they don’t have a Ronaldo in their team.

    Only one outcome here for me and with the Spanish side rightly odds-on, it’s a case of looking for value in alternative markets.

    I like this one a lot and though we only saw glimpses of Isco’s talent, last week, he is potentially going to be one of THE top players in world football over the next 5 years:
