We swept all three parlays on the World Cup opener, and we’re back for more today.
CANADA VS BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Canada is coming into the World Cup about as high on its roster as it has ever been. Bosnia hasn’t beaten any other team at this World Cup all decade and arrives to the Americas by way of two penalty shootout victories over Italy, who was playing a man down, and Wales. Home field advantage for the Canadians will help ease into this one.
- Low risk parlay toss in: Canada double chance (win or draw) (-500)
- Average odds play: Both Teams to Score NO (-135)
- Higher Risk play: Total goals under 1.5 (+200)
USA VS PARAGUAY
Team USA faces pretty low expectations and comes in on the heels of some very shaky results in friendly matches. Losses to Germany, Belgium, and Portugal serve as reminders of how the U.S. has a long way to go. If Paraguay’s main attacking threat Julio Enciso is out, look for Paraguay to defend with as many as all 11 and try their best for a 0-0 result.
- Low risk parlay toss in: Total goals under 3.5 (-425)
- Average Odds play: Both Teams to Score NO (-130)
- Higher Risk play: USA to win 1-0 (+525)
