MRF WorldCup18 TopTips
IT was France 4, Argentina 3 but as far as I was concerned it ended France 3, Argentina 5.
The best game of Russia 2018 produced a seven-goal thriller and more importantly for my Super Single it was the South Americans who collected most cards – most of them farewell ones.
Both of Saturday's games were entertaining and hopefully we'll see more of the same on Sunday as France tackle hosts Russia and Croatia meet Denmark.
I fancy the French and Croats and I've posted a separate preview covering both games.
Well done to all the winners on Saturday and there were plenty. Star of the show has to be Voice of Value with four our of wive winners on the France game – France to win at 29-20, Antoine Griezmann to score first at 5-1, France to score a penalty at 7-2 and a 17-2 Bet Builder on France to qualify, over 2.5 match goals, both teams to score, most goals in second half and no red card.
That was a great effort and let's see more of the same on Sunday.
Most of my bets feature Croatia and I've added a Super Single which is Luka Modric to be named man of the match at 9-2 with Coral.
And remember to check out welovebetting for World Cup tips and video chat.

    Great tips today everyone today.
    Some great shouts and 2 cracking ties.

    Can see Spain eventually showing their class v a brave Russia.
    Draw ht Spain ft.

    I wouldn’t totally write off Denmark even if they are very functional but again Croatia’s class should see them home .
    Croatia ht Croatia ft.
    Will do correct score spread double
    Spain 1-0. 2-0. 2-1
    Croatia 1-0. 2-0. 2-1

    Croatia v Denmark
    Over 2.5 goals at 6/4*****
    Over 3.5 goals at 4/1 **
    I can see why Croatia are the favourites as they have played some good football and look a solid unit and with the likes of Modric and Perisic,Rakatic etc you have to fancy goals here.Denmark won’t go down without a fight though and i expect them to contribute to the goals totals.correct score 3-2
    Spain v Russia
    Over 2.5 goals at 1/1 (NAP)*****
    Over 3.5 goals at 5/2 (NB)***
    Over 4.5 goals at 6/1 **
    This one looks a mouthwatering clash the tournament joint favourites v the hosts,you could say Russia were unlucky to play for so long with ten men against Uruguay but the fact is Uruguay had to much quality and you would expect Spain to have to much also.Russia won’t lie down and should score against a dodgy Spanish defence.correct score 4-2
    Croatia and Spain both teams to win and btts appeals a lot to me and you can get this boosted to 22/1 on skybet.
    Best of luck

    hi guys a quick question sorry if it’s in the wrong forum regarding goals do you concentrate on a team who is pretty good at being offensive or a team who are poor defending i/e when selecting your tips ? today spain o2.5 goals Croatia under 2.5 goals double 6/4 21/10 total 6.75/1 returns £193.75 good luck to all

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 6 years ago

      It has to be a bit of both – for example last night you had a Uruguay side great at defending but a Portugal team capable of scoring so you have to weigh it up.

    • Avatar of alec bennett
      old al 6 years ago

      Sounds obvious but ideally looking for teams that score and conceed regularly. World cup is more difficult because other factors come in to play – probably more likely now with it being a knockout comp.

    All eyes will be on the two World Cup last 16 matches today and rightly so however, I’m not one for forgetting my roots

    Heading to Norway ?? ????⚽️

    Full cards in both leagues with 10 matches Kicking off at 5pm

    It’s the Eliteserien league I’m focusing on today with 5 top flight games Starting at 5

    It’s a league I’ve always kept an eye on especially in the summer 5)2 league is in full flight now and a bit easier to identify where the goal will be. Today see bottom sides Sandjford and Start play two of the leagues best and highest scoring teams (Rosenborg and Ranheim)

    Is 16th v 2nd and 3rd v 15th- the two best attacks playing the two worst defences – both games are backable as singles but It’s total match goals in all 5 games I’m
    focusing on. The two matches above should contribute to at least 6 or 7 goals

    Skybet special:
    ???? Eliteserien league ????

    Back 15+ match goals 1/1 (NAP)⚽️
