Soccer World Cup Play: Switzerland vs. Honduras
****DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
The Swiss team is the favorite to grab #2 spot in this group, but they had a great dose of luck when they defeated Ecuador in the last minute of the game, then, they were crushed by the French team.
I always expected Switzerland to struggle offensively… My notes about them in the last game vs. France:
“It’s quite easy to read this Suisse team: they are super compact, well organized defensively and play mostly w/ a conservative mindset. Their first game vs. Ecuador ended up w/ 3 goals, but note that the first two goals came from set pieces plays while the last one was actually the last play of the game in a quick counter move from them – they didn’t create many chances from build-up plays. I expect them to be conservative in here… they’ll accept the natural favoritism of the French side and will be fine with that.”
They scored 2 late goals (garbage time) against France but their attack (once again) didn’t impress me at all… the biggest news for me was the performance of their defense: it was a DISASTER!
They couldn’t stop the French side attack from creating dangerous build-up plays and the exact same thing happened vs. Ecuador in the first game! Honduras has some speed from the wings so I expect them to do some damage in here.
If France is winning their game vs. Ecuador, there is no need for Switzerland to defeat Honduras – a draw is enough!
Finally, this contest will be played in the “jungle” (Manaus)! Physical edge goes unquestionably for Honduras vs. European team!
Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on Honduras (+1.25) @ OR -115 / 1.87 on Betonline
