BRAZIL (The Spread) – France has been nearly unstoppable in the 2014 World Cup. Can Nigeria put up a fight when the two meet today at Noon ET?
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, France is favored to win this match in regulation, as it has odds of -220 to prevail, while Nigeria has a money line of +600 to win in regulation. The odds of a draw after 90 minutes has been set at +350, while he over/under total is listed at 2.5 goals.
France won Group E with a 2-0-1 record. France scored eight goals while allowing just two. Nigeria finished second in Group F by going 1-1-1. It scored three goals and allowed three goals.
WORLD CUP FREE PICK: Nigeria comes in looking to be a team that can hold opponents from scoring, as it gave up just three goals in three games. However, those three goals all came against Argentina. France has been posting a lot of goals coming into the World Cup and only had a scoreless draw because nothing was really at stake. Look for France to be clicking today and produce some goals. Nigeria may sneak one in as well, but I can see France scoring three goals on its own today.
