Great effort from Iceland and definetely wasent my top draw prospect for today.
3* Peru vs Denmark Draw +200
Denmark and Peru both with 3 draws in last 10 friendlys respectively.Peru has had cleansheets in 7 of last 10 with Denmark having 6! This looks like a tight tight game and excellent 0-0 or 1-1 prospect. GL

Bet To Watch:
Serbia -116
Serbia and Costa Rica are two teams that have been a bit overlooked heading into this World Cup, but both have a chance to make some noise.
Costa Rica found incredible success in 2014, winning their group which consisted of Uruguay, England, and Italy and are poised to surprise people once again. They were decent in qualifying to get here but did finish second to Mexico in CONCACAF.
Serbia, on the other hand, did not qualify for the World Cup in 2014 and also failed to reach Euro 2016, but have a talented roster hungry to make a statement. Their strength is goal scoring although the total for this matchup is just two goals.
Despite the low total, 56% of public bets have actually taken the under. The juice on under two goals has moved from +101 to -106.
As for the moneyline, bettors believe Costa Rica will pull off the upset at +422 odds, so they’re certainly a trendy underdog. It’s hard to blame bettors, especially after seeing teams like Australia and Iceland play top teams close.
It appears the sharper and bigger money is on Serbia, though, as their odds to win have moved from +102 to -116. The draw is a tempting bet to make at +244, especially with such a low total involved. Still, Serbia should have enough firepower to get all three points.

Bet to Watch:
Under 2.75* goals -112 (Bookmaker)
The German national team is a well-oiled machine at this point. Die Mannschaft have reached the semifinals in every tournament since 2002, culminating with a title in 2014.
Mexico is also a model of consistency, but in a different way. El Tri have progressed from the group stage in every World Cup since 1986 but have been eliminated in the round of 16 in the past six tournaments (1994-2014). However, this isn’t your father’s Mexican team. In fact, this team is different from any squad at the World Cup.
Manager Juan Carlos Osorio has turned them into a chameleon squad, able to adapt to any opponent. I’d expect Osorio to set up a compact midfield and try to make life difficult on Toni Kroos, Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil (who may not start due to an injury).
Interestingly, this adapt-to-your-opponents tactic is one that Germany has perfected under manager Joachim Low. If Mexico shut down the center of the pitch, the Germans will adjust and start using the flanks to spread El Tri thin. Germany have talent all over the place, so it’s not like shutting down Kroos and Khedira would stop them from going forward.
Mexico will fancy their chances against Sweden and South Korea, so a loss to Germany isn’t a deal-breaker, but they’ll want to hang in the game to avoid a blowout and maybe, just maybe, squeak out a draw. And while that’s a tall task, it’s not out of the question, especially since Germany haven’t looked all that sharp in their pre-tournament friendlies.
Additionally, if there’s a time you want to play Germany, it’s in Game 1. Even though the Germans are well-drilled, they will likely get better as the tournament progresses.
I’m expecting this game to be pretty tight and believe Mexico will ugly it up to — at the very least — keep their goal differential in order. Germany should figure out El Tri eventually, but I don’t think they’ll find this one easy, and I think there’s value on the under.
