Single #40 Preview:Our first selection (Asian handicap -1 Belgium) is an example of a very strong attack vs a very tough defence, and in this case the very strong attack of Belgium should be able to come out on top of the tough Greek defence, especially when you consider Belgium's defence has actually conceded fewer goals than Greece, indicating they are most likely better at both ends of the park. As with our second selection today, this is an example of points difference being closer than the difference in quality between the two teams. Belgium currently top Group H with 4 straight victories but only 2 points behind are Greece with 3 wins and 1 draw having played exactly the same opponents, however the main difference being that Belgium have destroyed all their opposition which has lead to a goals ratio of 21 scored yet only 1 conceded, whereas Greece have put in clinical efficient performances to create a goals ratio of 9 scored and only 2 conceded. Now both records are fairly impressive, however one certainly catches the eye, and that's Belgium's. Therefore with Belgium playing on home soil tonight, i just can't see a well organised Greece defence being able to hold off the massive array of attacking quality that Belgium possess in the likes of Dries Mertens, Romelu Lukaku, Yannick Carasco, and Axel Witsel to name just a few. This should be a comfortable home win for Belgium tonight.
Single #41 Preview:The Netherlands are only 1 point better off in Group A than tonight's opponents Bulgaria, however I feel there is a far higher difference in quality between the two sides. The Netherlands have comfortably beaten both Belarus and Luxembourg 4-1 and 3-1 respectively in dominant performances, whereas Bulgaria struggled to wins over the same two teams by just the single goal in games which could have easily gone either way. When visiting Sweden, Bulgaria were utterly outclassed losing 3-0, whereas the Netherlands secured a 1-1 draw where on the balance of play they probably deserved to get all 3 points. And finally, when playing France, Bulgaria were utterly outclassed again losing 4-1, whereas the Netherlands lost a tight game 1-0. So despite Netherlands and Bulgaria's results leading to a similar number of points, the Netherlands performances have been much more impressive, as is demonstrated by their goals ratio of 8 scored and 4 conceded, compared to only 6 scored yet 10 conceded for Bulgaria. Therefore, even though Bulgaria have the luxury of home advantage, the Netherlands should still have too much quality in the likes of Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben and co, and secure all 3 points tonight.
