Potentially a new lineup against a team that will be tougher to break down might result in a disappointing first half after what we saw last week. T\u00fcrkiye had 30 shots in the opener against Australia, but not many great quality chances. Expect the Aussies to take a similar strategy here and hope to get out of here with a point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Scotland vs. Morocco<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>The Tartan Army has been the talk of the tourney early on, as Scottish fans have endeared themselves to everyone. Scotland got all three points vs. Haiti, but it was far from a clear, convincing win. Competition goes up a notch here against Morocco, which earned a well-deserved draw against Brazil. A win here would put Morocco in position to win the group and earn a spot on the right side of the bracket, which would do wonders for its advancement. Feels like 1-0 Morocco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Brazil vs. Haiti<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Brazil will need others besides Vini Jr. to show up against Haiti (Getty Images).<\/span> <!--&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Haiti made a pretty good impression of itself vs. Scotland and probably deserved a point. It will play fearlessly against a Brazil side that, outside a couple of players, does not look very dynamic. We've seen plenty of perceived undermanned sides compete so far, and it would not be a shock at all to see Haiti stay within 2.5 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>T\u00fcrkiye vs. Paraguay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>With both on zero points, someone needs to win here or else there will be a lot of pressure on them in the final group match to secure three points and advance. Paraguay was dreadful against the U.S. and T\u00fcrkiye had a bunch of non-threatening shots against Australia. Expect both to score here in what could be a fairly open game.<\/p>\n\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY &#8220;Bear Bets&#8221; are real wagers that Chris &#8220;The Bear&#8221; Fallica is actually making.
