S.Korea V's Ghana and this one is a bit of a punt but the competition this month is coming to an end and I need points 😄 I think S.Korea did well in their first match but also Ghana were unlucky to loose against Portugal, I think the Korean organization is head and shoulders above the Ghanaian's but the physical edge goes to Ghana so this I think will be a close game and probably settled by the odd goal. I do however think that Korea will win this game and that is my pick S.Korea Win @2.40 on Bet365

Tournament is coming to an end soon guys and there are 4 or 5 people that could still win this one! Make sure your picks are good ones and good luck!

Brazil vs Switzerland
Under 2.5 at 1.97

My prediction:
The Brazilians confirmed their status as one of the favorites of the tournament, confidently beating Serbia in the first round - 2-0. In the second round of Group G Tite's wards will face Switzerland, which also scored three points thanks to a hard victory over Cameroon. The teams are expected to lead the quartet.

Brazil have not lost 16 matches in a row - 13 wins and three draws. Can the Swiss team stop their monstrous opponent?

The meeting in Doha kicks off on November 28 at 19:00 Moscow time.

Tentative squads for the Brazil vs Switzerland match
Brazil (4-3-3): Alisson - Alex Sandro, Silva, Marchinho, Militao - Fred, Casemiro, Paceta - Vinicius Júnior, Risharlison, Rafinha.

Will not play: 

Switzerland (4-3-3): Sommer - Rodriguez, Elvedi, Akanji, Widmer - Froehler, Jaka, Sow - Vargas, Embolo, Shaqiri

Will not be played: - - Ralfa, Ivan Barton.

Referee: Ivan Barton

In the 2022/23 season, the Salvadoran referee has judged six matches: the average total of the LC - 2.83, fouls - 23.5.

Goal total prediction
The totals should be watched with great caution. Brazil is scoring an average of 3.22 goals this calendar year - you'd think loading up on the upside? It's not that simple. Switzerland will surely lock themselves away, as playing open soccer against the Brazilians is a death sentence for themselves. The nominal visitors know how to defend, as they have repeatedly demonstrated in games against top teams, so we can probably forget about a hail of goals.

MATCH WILL START FOR 24 HOURS

The Portuguese national team in the opening round achieved a difficult victory over Ghana and showed itself well ahead, although it acted actively only in fragments. Now the task of reaching the next round for the team is simplified and even a draw with Uruguay will suit them, although the bet will be made on winning, which guarantees participation in the playoffs. However, in defense, the Portuguese allowed blots, which led to two goals against them and could well have been critical, if not for the high implementation of the forwards.

Uruguay was never able to open the gates of South Korea in their opposition of the first round and took only one point. The national team tried to break through the defensive of the enemy in various ways, but this did not lead to success, and even the players did not hit the target even once. Now the Uruguayans are waiting for a match with the main favorite of the group and it is extremely unacceptable to lose to them, which should activate the team players even more.

My betting pick will be Portugal win 2.03 odds.

World cup  - start 1700 CET November 28th

Brazil VS  Switzerland

Observation- With both teams coming into this game with a win and no goals against this will be a good game. In Brazil last matchup against Serbia they had 59% of the possessions took 23 shots and 9 of them on target and scoring 2 goals. Switzerland in there last matchup , it was against Cameroon, they had only 49% possessions and with only 7 shots on goal and 1 goal. Now Brazil's defence is on point only allowing 5 shots on goal in there game against Serbia and allowing 0 goals. Switzerland also but up some good defence while only allowing 6 shots on goal and also allowing 0 goals. I feel both teams will shut each other down here and the score will be low may even be 0-0 match. Brazil is of course a heavy favorite coming in at 1.45 but this will be a defencive game and if ur looking for a good odd to hit the 4.5 to tie here is sexy ..lol 

Prediction is under 2.5 goals at a even 2.00    BET365

1. Brazil came to Qatar as one of the top contenders to win. Moreover, the team was considered as the first number in its group, which the five-time world champions proved in a match with difficult Serbia (2:0). This success was a great start, but the celebration of football for Tite was overshadowed by the injury of Neymar, who limped with tears in his eyes at the end of the game.

2. For Swiss After defeating Cameroon (1:0) in the first game of the current tournament in Qatar, the Swiss team has a good chance to make an early Christmas gift to their fans. If the Brazilian national team is famous for its samba style and has prepared dances to celebrate victories in all matches of the 2022 World Cup, then the A-Team scored in the first game with a goal that was scored after 13 passes, which was the most number of passes preceding the ball in Switzerland's performance at the World Cup since 1966.

3. This will certainly be put to the test against the No. 1 team in the FIFA rankings. However, victories over Portugal and Spain in the UEFA Nations League prove that the Nati are capable of taking on the elite of international football. Okafor, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play today.

Bet: Over 2.5 

Odd: 1.89

In the 1st round the Portuguese national team beat Ghana with a score of 3:2, although until the 65th minute the score was 0:0. Everything was changed by a penalty kick, which was realized by Cristiano Ronaldo, by the way, thereby he set a new record, becoming the only football player in the world, who scored at five world championships in a row. Further goals were scored by João Felix and Leão. If everything is fine in the attacking plan of the “chosen team”, then the defense clearly does not cope with frequent attacks. The flanks often failed, plus the opponent won a lot of riding. In general, Santos did a good job, but with such football it will not be easy in the playoffs.

Uruguai failed to beat the obvious underdog, the South Korean national team, having drawn 0-0. In addition, Alfonso's wards gave out weak football in attack – the national team never hit the goal, despite the fact that Suarez, Cavani and promising Nunes. Yes, Darwin Nunez was the most active on the field, but it was not enough to open the account. But the defense worked one hundred percent – the opponent also never hit the target, and in the first half he only hit the goal twice.

 My bet: Portugal to win with 2.050 odds

[Sumit]

=> Portugal win 2 odds.

Uruguay is all my way. They're too old. The peak of Suarez and company has passed. They passed the selection with the change of head coach and with big problems. Already here at the tournament they could not beat Korea. Not the most formidable opponent. Portugal had a good match against Ghana. True, they came up with problems for themselves in the end. But I think they will draw conclusions. In general, here Portugal is simply stronger and should win. Uruguay has shown nothing against South Korea. Therefore, nothing good can be said about them, like a dead team. I bet to the victory of Portugal
