World Cup Final (12/07)


Uruguay v Netherlands
Spain v Germany

Sunday, July 11

Netherlands v Spain

Verdict: Spain were one of the hot favorites going into this tournament so it's no surprise that they are likened to complete the job against the Dutch. Along with Forlan, Villa has been the hottest striker at this tournament with 5 goals to his name and shooting for Fifa's Golden Boot award. Torres has been off colour and was replaced in the starting line-up by Pedro against Germany. Despite this, Fernando's big match experience may lead Del Bosque to restoring the Liverpool marksman in the starting 11.

Van Persie is another that has disappointed at this tournament with only a solitary goal to his name. In contrast, Arjen Robben has played a big part since returning from injury against Slovakia, scoring 2 goals in three games.

Spain will most definitely rule possession in this game which is a major factor in considering this pick. In addition, Spain's defence has only conceded twice (3 consecutive clean sheets) in comparison to the Dutch allowing five (no clean sheet in last 4 games). I think this pick represents reasonable value.

Picks:
Villa/Torres to score more than Van Persie/Robben @2.30 (betsafe, 10 units)

Any of these players did not score
Van Bommel to receive a card @2.30 (betsafe, 10 units)
Van Bommel cautioned on 22'
Spain 1x2 @2.12 (188bet, 7 units)

Spain 0 - 0 (after 90 minutes)
