This week sees the Women’s World Cup take centre stage as the quarter finals take place over in Canada with the hosts playing on Sunday against an England side who are going along nicely at the moment.
There is also action from South America with the Copa America and domestic football in Brazil taking place and we have scanned our eyes over the fixtures to bring you seven great BTTS tips.
Friday 26th June 2015
- Germany Women v France Women (evens with Coral) – The Germans have been rampant in Canada and their strikers have been banging in the goals. They’ve scored four against Thailand and Sweden as well as hammering Ivory Coast 10-0. However, France are a good side and they will cause plenty of problems for the two-time World Champions.
Saturday 27th June 2015
- Argentina v Colombia (13/10 with Coral) – The Argentines haven’t been at their best so far in Chile but with a team containing the likes of Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Carlos Tevez you’d always back Gerardo Martino’s side to score. However, as they showed against Paraguay, they can be slack at the back and that will give Colombia plenty of hope, as will their fine array of attacking players.
- Brazil v Paraguay (5/4 with Ladbrokes) – Brazil are another big side who have failed to live up to their billing and they stumbled blindly through to the knockout stages. However, Roberto Firmino will be looking to kick on and prove Liverpool have spent £29m on him wisely as he steps in to fill the goalscoring void left by Neymar. However, it is at the back where Brazil have their biggest problems, having conceded in every match so far – a run we expect to continue here.
- China Women v USA Women (13/10 with BetVictor) – China haven’t been pulling up any trees in what is their sixth World Cup, but they certainly have the potential to trouble the US. Despite being heavy underdogs, Colombia made life difficult for the USA in the Round of 16 and whilst the Americans should have no trouble scoring against China, the Asian side will get opportunities.
Sunday 28th June 2015
- England Women v Canada Women (11/10 with Ladbrokes) – England won their first ever knockout game on Monday to put them through to the quarter finals for the third tournament in a row. Three of the Three Lionesses games have ended in a 2-1 scoreline and we fancy there to be more goals shared about when they meet the hosts on Sunday.
- Palmeiras v Sao Paulo (21/20 with Coral) – This Choque-Rei derby sees two of Brazil’s most famous sides lock horns and there should be plenty of talent on show. Sao Paulo can boast Alexandre Pato and Luis Fabiano who both have plenty of European experience whilst Palmeiras will be hoping veteran striker Alecsandro can continue his scoring run in the absence of Lucas Barrios who is representing Paraguay at the Copa America.
- Internacional v Santos (11/10 with Coral) – These two outfits are another pair of teams who will be familiar names to fans across the world, however, these two sides are currently mired in mid table. There are often goals when these two meet and we expect nothing different when they clash at the Estadio Beira-Rio.
