Live on BBC1: Thurs 17.00: It’s 11/4 (Hills) for Colombia and Ivory Coast’s clash in World Cup Group C to produce more than 3.5 goals.
Both Colombia and Ivory Coast won their first games so the pair will be in confident mood as they prepare to face-off in Brasilia.
The South Americans get the nod from bookies, in the wake of their 3-0 hammering of Greece, BetVictor installing them as 23/20 favourites while the Elephants are 14/5 with Coral to follow their 2-1 success against Japan with another triumph.
Bet365 price the stalemate at 5/2, which certainly looks like the most appealing match bet and it’s a tempting 4/1 at Ladbrokes for the two teams to play out a score draw.
However, the route to profit in this potentially open clash could be in the goal markets. Banker hunters could do worse than consider 888Sport’s 13/15 for both teams to get on the scoresheet and it’s 21/20 with Stan James for the sides to conjure up more than 2.5 goals between them.
There’s scope for even more than that though and it’s hard to resist a modest flutter on a tally higher than 3.5 at 11/4 (William Hill).
Recommended Bets:
Over 3.5 goals – 11/4 (William Hill)
