Free Pick for World Cup Quarterfinals
The Quarterfinals Play on Friday is on Belgium +1 goal. Rotation number 225603 at 3 Eastern. Belgium has been spotty at time in their road leading up to this game. The took out the host team rather easily scoring 4 goals against a U.S Team that has been subpar overall in this tournament. Belgium shut down the explosive U.S attack, allowing just the one goal. They came from behind down 2-0 with 85+ minutes to go in a win over Senegal. They are on of the most well rounded teams as they have a deep team that can find the back of the net in several ways. They are underrated on defense and are riding a wave of momentum off their last two victories. They take on a Spain team that has not conceded yet in the tournament. Spain will be tested more than in any other game and their clean sheet streak is likely to end here against the team with the most overall attempts on goal. Spain has struggled to score, needing a late Merlino goal to advance past Portugal. This will be a very low scoring tactical game and it may be knotted at the end of regulation -- so the plus one goal line would be very advantageous. We will take the goal here as this one likely goes to Extra time maybe even kicks. GL RV!!
The Pick: Play on Belgium +1 goal.
