Colombia TT OVER 1.5 @ -110 (1.10 to win 1.00)
Colombia played the USA the other day and looked excellent. They have a roster full of players that are in phenomenal form. They have several goal scorers in top form (carlos bacca, james rodriguez, teo gutierrez, juan cuadrado etc.). They have loads of talent on the bench as well and our bet can survive a couple of key substitutions. From what I saw the other day, it seems to me that Colombia has made a name for themselves at the world cup and the team is really rallying together around this new enthusiasm for Colombian futbol and they are really showing up to play in their friendly games. Coach Pekerman has been pushing the federation to send the team to Europe for better competition and I think we are seeing a more dedicated effort from the team as a result of playing in Europe. In their last trip to Europe they beat a strong Belgian team 2-0 and drew Holland 0-0, two strong showings. Slovenia have allowed 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 friendlies and they have only scored 1 goal in all 5. I would be quite surprised if Colombia don't win this match but it is heavily juiced. The over pays great but I think that 2-0 is such a likely outcome that I want nothing to do with it. However, this is the wisest wager for my money on this match and the price is right. 90 minutes is a long time to deal with this attack, and frankly the US was quite lucky to only concede twice. Good luck tomorrow.
And yes, for those of you who do not know, I root for Colombia, so this is somewhat of a disclaimer, but the reality is that I do know the team quite well and would be happy not to bet on them if the situation wasn't right(although unlikely to bet against them).
