portugal vs morocco
portugal form L
morocco form d
AH given is -1/2 ball from portugal.based on recent results the portugal team does not seems to place great emphasis in this tournament considering the fact that they must win to keep in contention for this tournament the AH given seems to be on the low side.As the linesmaker has cleverly adjusted the line to be on the low side,i forsee this match to be a draw game or an upset from the morocco team.
5 pts bet on morocco +1/2

Italy vs japan
italy form d
japan form L
AH given is -1 ball from italy.both are strong teams and i felt that the AH given by the bookmakers seems overrated considering the style of the italians who normally plays a tight game and the recent forms of the italians who doesn't seems too impresive, i see a value bet in taking japan with +1 ball AH.As i see even if the italians were to win it will only by a goal difference.

paraguay vs ghana
paraguay form w
ghana form d
AH given is -1/4 from paraguay.i will go for paraguay considering the fact he is a much better team than ghana.personally i felt that the AH posted by the bookmakers seems to over-flatters ghana.i have watched the game between italy vs ghana.it was a clear-cut fixed match where the italians played sluggishly during the 1st half conceding 2 goals than in the 2nd half to come back strongly to draw with ghana.i doubt ghana could withstand the firing power of the paraguay team who seems more focused and commited in this tournament.therefore without a doubt my final conclusion is
5 pts bet on paraguay -1/4
