Fallica Backs 3 World Cup Round-of-32 Bets for Match Day 19

3 articles · Updated · FOX Sports · Jun 28

Summary

  • Three Round-of-32 matches headline Monday’s Match Day 19 card, and Chris "The Bear" Fallica says Brazil-Japan and Netherlands-Morocco both offer value on both teams to score.
  • Brazil-Japan is his most competitive read: he says Japan’s organized midfield can trouble Brazil and that the tie could last beyond 90 minutes even if Brazil advances.
  • Germany-Paraguay is the clearest favorite spot, with Fallica projecting a straightforward 2-0 Germany win because Paraguay should offer little in attack.
  • Netherlands-Morocco closes the day as another tight knockout matchup; Fallica notes the Dutch failed to keep a clean sheet in all 3 group-stage games and would not be surprised by penalties.
