June 29th: World Cup Betting Tips

Here are my betting tips for today’s world cup matches between Paraguay and Japan and Spain v Portugal.

PARAGUAY vs JAPAN BETTING TIPS: TUES JUN 29th 15:00 GMT

With Paraguay looking goal shy and Japan set up with one up top, I think the match between these two is going to be tight.

Paraguay won their group, conceding only one goal but scoring just three, and their record in qualifying for the tournament was similar so I just can’t see the goals flying in here either.

Japan look sharp on the break, but they’re not really set up to be a full-on attacking team, so I take under 2.5 goals to be my bet on this one.

SPAIN v PORTUGAL BETTING TIPS: TUES JUN 29th 19:30 GMT

The question is: which Portugal will turn up? The one that destroyed North Korea or the one that played out a tiresome goalless draw with Brazil.

Defensively, Portugal have been extremely tight so far. In fact, they haven’t conceded a goal so far this tournament.

Spain, by contrast, haven’t really hit the heights they reached in the Euro 2008 tournament. In particular, forward Fernando Torres hasn’t looked fit and could be replaced by David Silva.

Either way, I’m not seeing goals in this one either. I think this is going to be one of those matches where the two teams cancel each other out over ninety minutes, so I’m taking the draw.
