CONFEDERATIONS CUP

SPAIN - SOUTH AFRICA

This is a meaningless third and fourth place playoff, in what is a fairly pointless tournament, although to be fair, most of the competitors have taken it seriously. My point is that surely at this stage, their is nothing to gain by these two being ultra cautious and this is a real opportunity to put on a thriller and create some additional interest ahead of the World Cup finals, for which there are still a lot of tickets unsold.

These games are traditionally high scoring and I am shocked to see the "over option at odds against. Hard to know exactly how Spain will approach this after losing their unbeaten record and I am sure that they would all rather be home, but if they do turn it on, they are capable of running in three or four themselves.

I definitely expect South Africa to score, they have no problem creating chances (just taking them) and I feel Spain will have more of a gung-ho approach, so the "over" option becomes something of a no brainer. This should be entertaining.

7 points "over" 2.5 goals 2.07 asian line.

I know Spain can be suicidal defensively but I can't recall the last time South Africa made a presentable chance against a big side, let alone scored a goal! I think Spain might just walk this by 2 or 3 goals.

They should have beaten Brazil the other night so not so sure about that! I had a hideous amount on brazil winning too.. Agree Spain should win but come on, a third/fourth place play-off in a meaningless tourn!? Would anyone seriously bet on this!? Asking for trouble if you ask me..

I assume you don't remember the group game between these two...
Not sure South Africa had a shot on target in that game. I can see Spain scoring 3 on their own but as far as South Africa having "no problem creating chances" goes I'm not so sure. The over 2.5 is far from a no brainer and I can see a low scoring game in this one

Any team news on SA-Spain, if Torres and or Villa are not in, then you have to fancy SA on the AH. Spains attitude against the USA was very unprofessional and SA gave the Brasillians a run for their money. SA on the AH for me. Good Luck

Haha don't get me wrong, South Africa totally outplayed Brazil, but my point was how many chances did they actually create? The only one that tested the 'keeper that I recall was a deflected shot!

I've taken Spain to win to nil in this game
