Who to Play for Monday's Games

Switzerland -200 vs. Togo +550

Both Switzerland and Togo meet head to head, both vying for a win to stay competitive in Group G. Switzerland's display against France was somewhat lackadaisical, settling for a slow paced control throughout the midfield. They seemed disinterested in applying pressure to create scoring chances. Togo showed many ups and downs during their match with South Korea last Tuesday. These inconsistencies, a product of inexperience led to the suspension of Jean-Paul Abalo. Togo also lost Ludovic Assemoassa due to a knee ligament tear, a setback to Togo's defensive core. This translates to a relatively inexpensive -200 for Switzerland . Normally I would avoid such risk, but I feel that in this situation, lines makers have undervalued Switzerland . Despite the costs, Switzerland -200 is the winning play.

Saudi Arabia +650 vs. Ukraine -225

Despite Sami Al-Jaber of Saudi Arabia made history last Wednesday, Saudi Arabia had to settle for a DRAW with Tunisia . Al-Jaber and company demonstrated that they have a scoring touch with Al-Jaber's historic goal during the 84th minute. Despite this, Saudi Arabia showed that they defensively do not equal their offensive prowess allowing Tunisia to complete the draw during injury time. Ukraine looks to leave their routing by Spain behind when they face Saudi Arabia . Soon to be Chelsea forward Shevchenko looks to change the pace of the Ukraine squad, with the emphasis on offensive pressure. Because of both Saudi Arabia and Ukraine's standings I speculate that the match will be open to measured offensive risks being taken. This indicates that choosing the eventual winner doesn't offer value as both teams showed poor defense. Take the DRAW +280 and the Over 2.5 +110 as the marquee value of Monday.

Spain -300 vs. Tunisia +350

Tunisia scored early and late completing a draw with Saudi Arabia . Spain coming of a victory of 4-0 against Ukraine will continue to bring their winning ways against Tunisia . Spain -300 despite being seemingly expensive offers great value. Spain demonstrated that not only that they ample scoring talent, but their defense was the unnoticed gem limiting nearly every Ukraine scoring opportunity. A draw by Tunisia will be a great victory but even the odds makers calculate such an occurrence as highly unlikely. Take Spain -300 for Monday's last winner.
