Game Recap
Belgium dominated Tunisia for all 90 minutes, and the Red Devils had a 2-0 lead just 16 minutes into the first half, but in the 18th minute, Tunisia surprisingly bounced back to cut the deficit. The Eagles of Carthage had a couple of chances to even equalize until the halftime, but in the injury time of the first period, Romelu Lukaku scored his second goal of the match to make it 3-1. Belgium was at -120 to lead at the interval, while the bettors who wagered on the over 2.5 goals in the first half at +600 are surely ecstatic.
In the second 45 minutes, we saw three goals more, and the odds on the over 2.5 goals in the second half were +300. Belgium took 23 shots in this match, as twelve went on target, while on the other side, Tunisia took 15 shots towards Belgium’s keeper, five of those on target, so it’s no strange that we saw the most efficient clash of the 2018 World Cup thus far. Many bettors who wagered on the bigger spread at -2.5 got some nice wages at +270, while some of them certainly tried to beat the lines on the totals. The price on the over 3.5 goals was +200, but we saw four goals already in the first half.
