The bookmakers make France clear favorites and as you can see from their head to head results these teams are very closely matched. France were fantastic against Argentina and likewise Uruguay deserved their win against Portugal. Both teams are attack minded so we expect to see more than 2 goals in this fixture. They are both generally well organized defensively and compact but prone to mistakes. Uruguay are excellent value in terms of “true” odds which is why we have selected a few bets on them.

Group Stage Round 2 |
The bookmakers make Brazil favorites for this fixture but this is no surprise with Brazil’s history so most money will go on Brazil making their odds less and Belgium’s higher. Given Belgium’s great performances so far it wouldn’t surprise us of Belgium won this game. Brazil are maybe slightly better than Belgium but Belgium are looking good. There should be goals too as both teams are so strong in attack and going forward as seen in Belgium vs Panama and Belgium vs Japan.
