World Cup Best Bets — Tuesday, July 14

Spain vs. France

Those expecting a repeat of the 5-4 Nations League match last year are probably going to be disappointed.

I’d expect Spain to have much of the ball again, especially in the first half, as an early France goal would be the one thing that could open this game up. But with the stakes as high as they are, expect caution, at least early on. Then, when those rare opportunities present themselves, that’s when a likely winner can be had.

But this looks like a dead Under and likely first-half draw.
