All on eyes on Tuesday will be on whether England can get past Colombia and make it into the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 2006, but the best plays of the day are in the earlier match when Switzerland face Sweden. There is hardly any difference between these two teams, with William Hill oddsmakers siding with the Swiss at +160 and with Sweden available at +205 to win in regular time.
In matchups like this, the fear of losing and missing out on a quarterfinal spot usually spoils the quality of the game. The draw at after 90 minutes looks like a great play at +195.
Both teams boast better defenses than their attacking qualities. After cashing a nicely priced ticket on a 0-0 draw in the Denmark-France match last week, let’s have a small play on that scoreline again and hope for another drab draw at +600 with William Hill.
