France wins group & Denmark goes through
With World Cup 2018 on the horizon, it's time for a longer-term bet in Group C. Allow me to quickly review how the countries in Group C compare with each other and finish with my game tips for the group.
Group C
- France
- Denmark
- Peru
- Australia
France
The group's big favourite and in addition to France's odds 1.36 to win this group, France is also the fourth favorite to win the entire championship. Not very strange when you look at France's World Cup squad which is brutally good both at the tip and width. France could set up with its b-eleven and be a favorite in all matches in this group. In EM 2016, France fell on the finish line in the final against Portugal and now it is time for the reunion with this squad. I appreciate that France's chance of winning the group is around 75% and that France is moving around 95%
Possible starting line-up for France: 4-3-3
- Lloris
- Sidibe - Varane - Umtiti - Mendy
- Matuidi - Kanté - Pogba
- Mbappé - Giroud - Griezmann
Denmark
Denmark is in second place in Group C but with a odds of 5.50 to win the group, it does not feel that Denmark should be able to threaten France on the first place. If we look at the Danish squad, it's a really naming squad that the country sends to Russia. In Denmark, it is said that this is the best squad the country has had since winning EM 1992. There is both talent, experience, lace and breadth, and one player to mention is Christian Eriksen, Denmark's great star, and landed on their shoulders in the World Cup qualifier and do so in Russia as well. Denmark's chance of winning the group is less than 20%, but I think Denmark should succeed in qualifying is about 60%.
Possible starting line-up for Denmark: 4-2-3-1
- Schmeichel
- Larsen - Kjaer - Christensen - Durmisi
- Delaney - Kvist
- Sisto - Eriksen - Poulsen
- Jorgensen
Peru
Peru is ranked third in this group both according to me and according to the odds. That Peru managed to qualify for World Cup 2018 must be seen as extremely strong after finishing in Chile, for example, in the South American qualifier. The big snack around Peru and the World Cup has been about the team captain Guerreyo's participation or non-participation in the World Cup-2018. The attack star is turned off for cocaine and although the appeal is under trial, I do not think he will be playing in Russia. Peru starts against Denmark on 16th June, which will be a crucial match when Denmark is made Peru will come to war on second place. Australia should beat Peru and it is only France to keep down the numbers. Perus chances to qualify from Group C, I estimate to be around 30%.
Possible starting line-up for Peru: 4-2-3-1
- Gallese
- Advincula - Rodriguez - Ramos - Trauco
- Yotun - Tapia
- Carillo - Cueva - Flores
- Farfan
Australia
Australia enters the group's expected punch and stands as underdogs in all matches in the group game. Australia has a weak squad on the paper and had major problems in the World Cup qualifier. The coach Bert Van Marwijk has not steered the team during the World Championship qualifier and only months to postpone the team after entering Postecoglou after leaving Australia for the World Cup. That Australia will be able to qualify from this group feels quite unlikely and to score a score, I give Australia a maximum of 20% chance of qualifying.
Possible starting line-up for Australia: 4-2-3-1
- Ryan
- Risdon - Sainsbury - Degenek - Behich
- Luongo - Jedinak
- Leckie - Mooy - Rogic
- Juric
Group C Betting Tip
Now for the interesting bit, my betting tip for Group C. I do not think I'm alone in thinking that France wins this group and that Denmark ends second, and that's also my game tip. The risks that I think are that Denmark would be able to cut the first place in front of France or that Peru scratches the second place in front of Denmark. But if it's the group, let's say 10 times, I'm pretty convinced that France will be 1st and Denmark 2nd more than 3 of these times. In other words, the chances should be greater than 30% that France wins this group and that Denmark ends second, it also holds most gaming companies. But LeoVegas knocks out the chin and offers the odds of 3.00 that France wins and Denmark will be second in Group C, taken!
I'm betting on France to finish 1st and for Denmark to come 2nd in Group C at odds of 2/1 with LeoVegas.
Good luck with your bets!
