CURACAO V ECUADOR

43. Ecuador -2 @ 1.73/-137 (1u) Pinnacle

44. Enner Valencia Anytime Goal scorer @ 1.83/-120 (1 u) Bet365

Ecuador HT/FT + Total Goals OVER 2.5 (SGP) @ 2.00/+100 

Throw out the record books when these two old time rivals meet . Ecuador were unlucky to get anything out of their opening game conceding late all the while hitting the woodwork 3 times. If they finish 3rd in the group they are going to need to rack up the goal difference. Curacao almost often manage to score but will be outclassed by Ecuador. Curacao lost by 3 to Scotland by 4 to Australia and by 6 to Germany however they did score in each of those games. Ecuador will be led by their all time leading goal scorer Enner Valencia who will be looking at this fixture to open his account.

Going back with Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk Anytime Goal Scorer with his height, he's lethal at corners with his famous header goals.

 he had a height advantage versus Japan on set pieces.

JAPAN V TUNISIA

45. Ritsu Doan to score or assist @ 2.50/+150 (1/2 u) Pinnacle

46. Koki Ogawa to score or assist @ 2.10/+110 (1/2 u) Bet365

Japan total team shots on target OVER 4.5 @ 1.80/-125 

Tunisia have fired their manager after the first game and replaced him with playboy manager Herve Renard. I have no idea what the new approach will be so I can't cap Tunisia here. Japan will be without Takefusa Kubo who suffered a knee injury in the opening match versus the Netherlands. Taking his spot will be Koki Ogawa who did score 6 goals in qualification. The burden to do more will also be on Ritsu Doan the Freiburg winger. I think taking both to score or assist at plus money is a good play as I do believe Japan can have multiple goals here. Tunisia have allowed 10 goals against in their last 2 games and Japan undefeated in their past 8 have scored 15.

Great calls DJ

@DiamondJack

 Do you think Japan to won't straight up is easy money? Tunisia probably worst team In tournament after turkey

JAPAN V TUNISIA

47. HT/FT Result, Japan/Japan @ 2.16/+116 (1u) Pinnacle

@Barbarossa

SPAIN V SAUDI ARABIA

48. Spain win to Nil +Oyarzabal 1+ shots on target (SGP) @ 1.86/-116 (1u)

Lean

Spain -2.5 @ 1.83/-120

Every and each way I look at this game it is 3-0. 2-0 or 4-0. Spain will need a bounce back from their opening day performance. In their last 11 games they only conceded 4 goals against. Saudi Arabia relies on defense and have no real goal threat. Spain will have all the possession but the only question is when will they break down the Saudis. Mikel Oyarzabal has had at least one shot on target in each of the past 8 games. I combined that with the Spain to win to nil bet as I do not see the Saudis scoring. Once Spain scores the game will open up and I will bet on them to pile more goals on.
