[sc:Soccer ]Spain vs. Chile (3:00 PM ET)
Line: Spain -215 at Chile +481, tie +291; total: 3.0 – view all these lines
[sc:Soccer240banner ]Spain finds itself in unfamiliar territory at the bottom of Group B. In Spain’s first game, goalkeeper Iker Casillas was fumbling around the goal post to concede five goals. Such a showing will prove disastrous against Group B sleepers, Chile. Chilean offense was in full display when they dominated Australia 3-1. Alex Sanchez will be invaluable for Chile’s frontline as a potent striker, scoring the first goal in its World Cup opener. Read the full Spain vs. Chile preview.
Writer’s Prediction
Chile eliminates Spain from advancing to the second stage. Take Chile at +481 for a hefty profit. Create a betting account to capitalize on this huge underdog.
Croatia vs. Cameroon (6:00 PM ET)
Line: Croatia -196 at Cameroon +450, tie +275; total: 2.5 – view all these lines
Croatia sorely missed Mario Mandzukic in their World Cup opener against Brazil. This time, the star striker will breathe some life into Croatia, opening up key scoring opportunities. On the other hand, the “Indomitable Lions” failed to score in their opener, and have conceded in 16 of their 17 World Cup games. However, Croatia doesn’t have a tough defense, which could have Cameroonian striker Eric Choupo-Moting enough breathing room to release his own shots. See each team’s keys to victory in the full Croatia vs. Cameroon preview.
Writer’s Prediction
Cameroon will have its chances, but Mandzukic eventually gives Croatia a badly needed win. Take Croatia at -196 to dodge the bullet.
