Top World Cup picks for Saturday
- England vs. Panama: England to win to nil (-120)
- Portugal vs. Colombia: Both teams to score (+100)
- Argentina vs. Jordan: Argentina to win to nil (-138)
England to win to nil vs. Panama (-120)
“It all points to a relatively comfortable win for England,” SportsLine soccer expert Martin Green mentioned. “They just need to rediscover the free-flowing football they played in the second half of their game against Croatia. If they play anywhere close to their potential, they should win this one by at least two clear goals.”
Portugal vs. Colombia: Both teams to score (+100)
“Portugal came out against Uzbekistan and were able to finally show the world their goal-scoring prowess,” SportsLine soccer expert Jon Eimer mentioned. “While Uzbekistan is far from Colombia in skill, they goals regardless will help share some confidence and get some of the bad press off their shoulders that they have been dealing with over the last couple weeks. I expect this game to be close, but I also expect goals here. Portugal’s midfield is amazing but if you break through them, their defense struggles. Look for the big names to have yet another big game in this matchup.”
Argentina to win to nil vs. Jordan (-138)
“Argentina are best priced at -500 to win this match, so we’ll need to dig deeper to unlock value,” Green mentioned. “Neither team will be particularly motivated, as Argentina will already be looking ahead to the knockout stage, while Jordan’s elimination was confirmed following their 2-1 defeat to Algeria earlier this week. However, Argentina’s reserves will be keen to impress Scaloni if they’re given a chance in this game, and they should easily outclass a technically limited Jordan team. They should win by a couple of goals, and they also look perfectly capable of keeping a clean sheet, as they’ll probably dominate possession in this match.”
