Football Tips 04/07/2014 -

The last 11 head to head encounters have all produced over 2.5 goals. Both teams still focus on attacking, as the last four Futura games have produced 16 goals and the last four Atlantis games have produced 19 goals. Neither team has failed to score in those games, and with the home side one point off the top of the table and the way team only two points above the drop zone both teams have the motivation to go for all three points today. Sakari Tukiainen has 19 goals in 10 appearances, and on recent form he can win this bet by himself.

Skelleftea started fairly well with 4 wins from their opening 7 games, looking back now however we can see that all 4 teams they beat are now the bottom 4 in the table. IFK Lulea are 6th in the division and can move as high as 4th with a win here, they have lost just 1 of their last 5 league games, no surprise this came against 2nd place AFC United. Skelleftea have now failed to score in their last 3 games and while they may hold their guests we cannot see them getting one over them, draw no bet is great insurance here.

James Rodriguez has scored in every game for Colombia at this tournament, and Neymar is one goal behind him on four goals. So if both players keep up their current scoring records then they will win this bet for us by themselves! Brazil have a decent defence but they look unlikely to keep a clean sheet against the tournament’s second highest scorers; they have conceded in 3 of their 4 games so far and were lucky not to concede a losing goal when Chile hit the bar in the final minutes. Colombia are a real threat going forward, but their defence still hasn't been fully tested against players of the quality of Neymar. They are still reliant on a 38 year-old to prop up their back four as their Golden Generation has yet to produce a great defensive talent. The last six of Colombia’s games have seen over 1.5 goals, and this game promises to be a feast for the eyes full of attacking flare and inventiveness.
