With a win Chile will be in the last 16. That is the reason why Marcelo Bielsa known as El Loco will play with 3 strikers to win today. Switzerland will defend just like they defend against Spain. Sanderos is out and Frei is ready but will be on bench. Chile top scorer Suazo will have hes debut on World Cup in South Africa. Chile will do everything to win against Switzerland and to qualify for next stage. Chile won against Honduras and they show good attacking soccer. Switzerland beat Spain with they defensive style of play and i doubt they can repeat this again.

Portugal and Bosnia and Herzegovina maybe play 1-0 in Portugal, but who watched the match have see that there where many opportunities to score on both sides. Today game will just open wide, Bosnia need to score and will score since Dzeko rarely don’t score 2 times in row. As well there are some injuries in defense lines for both teams and this will just give a boost to over 2.5 goals. Bosnia have more problems in back, but as well Portugal have some troubles in midfield, Deco is out.

This two teams played 4 times and all 4 times where under. Why? Because this two teams are defensive minded teams and when they play for result they will wait for last seconds to start attacking and today Ukraine will be very happy with draw. And in my holly opinion Greece attacking power is very bad and i really doubt they will score more than 1 goal, i even doubt that any of this teams will score anything today. Both teams will fight hard because who lose its not going on World Cup. So both matches will be hard tackling matches with very few or none goals. Greece at home with 45% under but Ukraine on road with 70% under matches. Also Greece is welcoming back Liverpool’s defense player Kyrgiakos.

Belgium against Turkey played many matches, but last match was 3-3, big over. Now Turkey need a win, but defensive line of Turkey is not pretty good since many players from defense line are out. Belgium plays just for prestige and they will not be motivated pretty much, specially not in defense line.

Slovakia and Slowenia meet once at Slovakia and score was 0-0, Slowenia need to win this match and regulary overall Slowenia plays very defensiv. But both teams at home have under 2.5 goals more than 55% of the time. Only concern is that lately Slowenia receives many goals. But against Slovakia i dont think that will be the case.

Argentina on road is under team they have 53% under. Ecuador is on high attitude and scoring goals for visitors is hard. That why Maradona will shuffle hes team to score more goals since last time they score only 1, but I doubt this will bring more goals since he will also rest Lionel Messi because he have yellow card. Ecuador find this match very important and they will fight hard to get at least 1 point and I doubt this can happen if Argentina score 2 goals. Also odds on Ecuador are dropping.

Romania is very powerful home side, they win 60% matches at home. Serbia is average team on road, they lose only 37% matches on road. In 2001 Serbia lost at Romania with 2-1, but that was different time for Serbia, they had other concerns then, than playing football. Romania recent form is not so good, they lost versus Croatia last match. Serbia on other side don’t have draw for 10 matches so its very possible draw could happen today, but to be sure we take x2, because Serbia is hungry for points. More juice to this pick is given by Chivu injure. He will not play for Romania and he is they best soccer player.

Wales at home have 57% under and hes tonight opponent is even heavier under team. Finland have 60% under on road. At Wales stadium this two teams meet 2 times. Once was under. Both of this teams in recent form show lack of scoring. Finland scores only 2 times in last 5 and Wales 5 times. Team lineups are not changed allot, Finland have full squad and Wales have Collins and Gabbidon out but James Collins is read to step in defense line. Wales will try to play on counter attacks and Finland will tr to score, I hardly doubt they will score and I really doubt Wales will score, this will be boring game.

PICK WON

Belgium at home have 46% wins which is good score, but Spain on road is better with 51% wins. Spain have 16 wins in row. Belgium on other hand is not so good, they lose to Germany, Italy Morocco not so long ago. They play draw with Turkey. In last 20 games they have very few wins so as a team they ain’t so powerful like they used to be. Spain is real power with perfect attack.
