World Cup Best Bets - June 27 - Group H

Saudi Arabia would have been hoping to really frustrate Spain in their last outing after they held Uruguay in a battling 1-1 draw. However, they could not keep the Spanish out, with the European side cruising to a 4-0 win. While still in the hunt for a best third-placed spot, Saudi Arabia will likely miss out on the knockout stages as they finish their campaign with a draw. 

Spain were incredibly poor in their opening match against Cape Verde as they became part of the biggest story of the opening round as they shared the points with their opponents. Despite taking 23 total shots, Spain failed to score. In truth, most of their efforts were speculative, with the Spanish really struggling to break their opponents down. They bounced back against Saudi Arabia in a 4-0 win, but this was a victory that was expected and will do little to ensure they can forget about their poor opening result. This simply means that Spain have to beat Uruguay to head into the knockouts with momentum behind them. Two of the last three meetings between the pair have seen Spain win with less than 3.5 goals scored, and I expect more of the same in this one.
