Scary Bear Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Who will it be? Is Muller playing a different position for Germany or is he just past it. 33/1. Jesus (16/1) and Neymar (10/1) for Brazil. Griezmann is 12/1 for France. I usually check the group fixtures and see if there are any groups who are made up of absolute dross plus one really good side. That can throw up some mismatches which make for high-scoring games. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudi Arabia and Panama look to be the weakest sides in the tournament, so you could have a speculative punt on Lukaku, Kane, Suarez or Cavani racking up a few against them. Can't see any of them going much further than the quarters though. Going by recent tournaments, 5 goals should be enough to place if you're doing an E/W.

That’s what I’ve gone for.I think Kane is a decent shout at 16/1 E/W. France and Brazil should both do well and have little in the way of real opposition in their groups. I’ve backed Kane, Griezmann, Neymar and Jesus E/W. It’s only £2 each. Also put 50p E/W on Muller. As long as there’s not a spate of Oleg Salenko type guys (oh, Rangers (RIP)) then I’ll hopefully get some money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England's lack of creativity would put me off taking him at that price, regardless of how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they habitually shit the bed at tourneys but surely that’ll change some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Panama in a few of their friendlies since qualifying. Their defence is utterly abysmal. Kane should be looking at a double at least there, if not a hat trick. Suarez was top scorer for Uruguay in qualifying, think he scored 11 to Cavani's 6. I'm torn between him and Griezmann for my William Hill top scorer 10er, both should get a f*ck load of free bets back whatever the case. Ruling Kane out because I don't see England getting far enough that he will add to his group stage goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booj1893 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 England are not perennial high scorers in the tournament recently with about 6 or 7 a world cup Top scorers average 15 to 18 a tournament so would definitely avoid any of England's players for top goalscorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, both look like decent shouts as their game against Saudi Arabia could be biggest mismatch at the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both definitely capable of hitting 4/5 goals in the group stage, which would be enough to see them there or there abouts as top scorer. All depends from that point how far Uruguay go in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
