Portugal - Korea DPR, Portugal -1ah @ 1.72 (Pinnacle) 7-0 WIN
Bookies overreacted here after Koreans put a fanatical fight against Brazilians. But true is, beside that they don’t have too much to offer. Portugal needs a win to reach the 2nd spot and they need to score few because goal difference will probably be decisive.
Chile - Switzerland, corner handicap Chile -1ah @ 1.85 (bet365) 5-3 WIN
Chile defeated Honduras in previous game with a minimal margin, but they missed several very good chances. They carry attacking style of play and today will be stronger for their best player (and best scorer) Suazo.
Swiss shocked Spain with very good defensive display. Hitzfeld is great coach, they’re well organized, tactically perfect and shouldn’t be underestimated by anyone. Will miss best player Frei and I think they’ll be playing on the same way as vs. Spain.
I fancy South Americans and think Chile will dominate here. I’ll take corner handicap.
Spain - Honduras, Spain -2ah @ 2.02 (bet365) 2-0 DRAW
Interesting thing is, despite the shock, Spain wasn’t so bad. They still remain as one of the favorites, but now they could easily miss the first spot. Which brings Brazil in the next round. They’ll try to score as much as possible for the self confidence, but also for a goal difference that could be very important.
Don’t have too much to say about Honduras. Considering quality, they’re probably number 4 in the group. Will try to put a decent fight, but they’re facing a raging Spain.
