SOC | Cape Verde/Uruguay Under 2.5 Goals

You can currently find this bet for -133 on Tailgate. We like it to -170.

Uruguay is going to attack this team in a similar way that Spain did, as being without De Arrascaeta to build from the middle, they showed their hand against the Saudis: Get the ball wide, and fire as many crosses into the box as possible. This is about the only option they have, and we saw that Cape Verde is able to defend against this admirably, and their defensive approach will give you the width, while making it very hard to fire in from there. We do not expect Cape Verde to be going forward much, sitting back like against Spain, and mostly absorbing, with the occasional surge forward, but the fact is they don’t even have much to offer offensively on a counter. This should lead to a boring, low-scoring affair, and CV could even scratch out another point. Lock in the under!
