Live on ITV: Thurs 21.00: Hills are offering 4/1 (usually 11/10) for new customers about Neymar scoring at anytime in the World Cup opener.
The hosts of the World Cup always get the tournament under way and on no occasion have they ever lost the opening fixture.
That trend is expected to continue as Brazil tackle Croatia in Sao Paulo, BetVictor installing the tournament favourites as 1/3 favourites to make the ideal start by claiming maximum points.
Luis Felipe Scolari’s charges are certainly hard to oppose but they’re under huge pressure, especially in the opening game and although the home side should prevail, they make for no appeal at such a skinny price.
Indeed, Niko Kovac’s troops go into the contest with virtually nothing to lose given that, as bet365’s 11/1 underdogs, they’re expected to succumb to the Brazilians so they can play with a lettle extra freedom in the Arena Corinthians and make life more uncomfortable for their opponents than the odds suggest.
Coral’s 13/8 for both teams to score is perhaps a touch high then although perhaps catching the eye a bit more is Ladbrokes’s 29/10 about a Brazil success by a one-goal margin.
In terms of scorers, Neymar is 11/10 at best to notch at any time for Scoalri’s men but to new customers Hills offer the Barcelona marksman at 4/1.
Recommended Bets:
Brazil to beat Croatia by one – 29/10 (Ladbrokes)
Neymar to score at any time – 4/1 (William Hill – new customers only)
