SUNDAY:
THe first game has Switzerland vs Portugal. How can anyone predict this game? Portugal has already qualified and is expected to rest Ronaldo, Deco, and Ricardo at the least, and up to 4 other starters at the most. The game means nothing to Portugal.
Switzerland will certainly want to win the game for their home fans - they will have to feel shortchanged as they were heartbroken in 2 games - both losses. The problem for them is always scoring they have only scored once in 2 games - but add to that their best striker (Frei), their second best striker (Streller), and their replacement (derdyok) are all out. So they are likely going to have a midfielder at striker on Sunday.
Given all of that - I cant see having a penny on this game. I really think anything can happen, wager at your own risk.
Second game has Czech vs Turkey. I have this as a dead even game, and for some reason the Czechs are a pretty decent favorite. A draw in this one will mean a penalty kick competition with no extra time to determine who will advance - and my guess is that it will come to that. I think both teams will play very cautiously with little adventurous attacking. The longer this one stays scoreless, the liklier they are to play not to lose.
I think the under is a good bet, along with Turkey. I will be on Turkey PK, +.5 at -102. I want to win on a draw and this will do it for me, I will also be on Turkey to advance at +137. Both will equal a normal size wager - I dont love this or anything - just think there is value on what I see as a very even game.
GL all. This round of games are going to have very few bettable games because of 4 of the 8 games are meaningless for at least 1 of the teams involved - which makes it almost impossible to handicap.
