Betting on soccer has proven much more difficult for me than I was envisioning. I’m not saying that it has been a complete disaster, but it has been a struggle in games that don’t involve America. We hit a tie, which put us up for a bit, but I’ve given most back by taking some long shots. There are five World Cup games taking place today, let’s cut up a unit and bet on three of them.
Switzerland vs. Canada
In Group B, these two teams are both going to advance. It would make both more comfortable to get an extra three points before the knockout round. Switzerland has played Qatar and had a very disappointing draw 1-1. In their next game, they were much more dominant, scoring four goals and winning 4-1 against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Canada played the same two teams and tied Bosnia-Herzegovina, but destroyed Qatar. The question for both of these teams is which version of their squad will show up? If the Switzerland team can be aggressive, they might have a chance to beat Canada, but that also plays into Canada – a team that wants to play with speed. I think both teams are likely to score in this game, so I’m taking that match prop at -130.

Czechia vs. Mexico
When you look at this game on the surface, you kind of wonder why the lines are what they are. Czechia seems to get more attention for the women in the stands than for what they are doing on the field. They played South Korea and lost 2-1 in their first game, then played South Africa in the second and played to a draw. The team isn’t anything all that special, but they do have a chance to still win. Mexico doesn’t need to do anything to advance. The thing is, Mexico is a better team, but they will rest key players, or at least are expected to rest them. Still, those Mexican national players are getting time and are playing in front of a wild crowd. I think this game goes over the 2.5 total. Mexico’s players, even if they aren’t all starters, will be aggressive. Czechia has to be aggressive. Give me the over.
South Africa vs. South Korea
South Korea should be in a good position to step on the South African team’s throats. If South Africa wins and Czechia loses, they will get the automatic bid into the next round. If South Korea wins, it will receive the spot, so there is a lot on the line. If South Africa loses, they are probably out of the tournament. The situation for South Africa has gotten worse because they are missing their midfield piece. If South Africa gets aggressive, it could open up the field for South Korea to use its speed and win the game. I am going to take the over 2.5 in this one as well. I think there should be good pace and speed in this game.
