Goals could be in short supply in Confederations Cup Final
Brazil are unsurprisingly a hot favourite (2/5 with BetUK) to claim their third Confederations Cup on Sunday (7.30 UK time) but the Samba boys will certainly not be taking the USA lightly in Johannesburg. After all, the Americans despatched Spain in the semis so Brazil won’t be taking any chances.
Brazil were lethargic in their semi-final against hosts South Africa, and were lucky to escape thanks to Dani Alves’s brilliant 88th minute free-kick. Just six attempts on goal were created and if the star trio of Kaka, Robinho and Luis Fabiano struggled against the South Africans then they could find it even harder against the Americans, who have a tough back-line to crack. We reckon goals could be in short supply here so are recommending backing under 2.5 goals at 17/20 with BetUK. Although Brazil could run away with it if they score early it’s worth betting against this as they seem to be adopting a more cautious approach lately.
If the Americans do throw everything into their defence again then a Half-Time/Full-Time selection of Draw/Brazil at 67/20 is also a very interesting option from a betting perspective, as it could take a while before Kaka and Co find the net.
