Ghana v Portugal Betting Tips and Predictions

Group G is going to the wire at the World Cup and we have free World Cup 2014 betting tips for Portugal v Ghana.

Many punters had Group G down as one of the toughest to predict in this World Cup. Prior to the tournament you could have made a case for each team qualifying for the knockout stage, however, going into the final matches in Group G both of these teams know that their fate is not in their own hands.

 Portugal and Ghana are very much reliant on how things transpire between Germany and the USA. A draw over in Recife would see both teams eliminated whatever happens between them in Brasilia on Thursday.

To say things haven’t gone to plan for both teams thus far would be an understatement. Portugal were taken apart by Germany in the opening game and suffered from a lack of discipline. The 4-0 defeat has severely affected their goal difference, which could play a major part in who qualifies from the Group depending on how the result goes in the last game. A last gasp equaliser from Varela against the US meant that Portugal at least prolonged their competitive involvement in the tournament to the last game. That said, they haven’t got going in this World Cup as many people thought and that could be down to the below par performances from their Captain and World Player of the Year, Christiano Ronaldo, who just hasn’t looked fully fit and able to perform to the level many of us have come to expect.

Ghana’s performances so far have been a mixed bag. They were out-done by the USA in the first game from a set piece that they should have dealt with and had no answer to their pace and fitness levels. There was a vast improvement, however, against Germany and had Jordan Ayew made a better decision at 2-1 up they could have gone on to bag all three points. There is no doubting their power and pace in attack but they do look vulnerable at the back and having conceded two goals in both matches thus far they will needed the likes of the Ayew brothers and Asamoah Gyan to be on top form if they are to give themselves any chance of progressing to the knockout stages.

Based on their performances thus far it is hard to have any confidence in backing either side, however, of the two, Ghana have shown the most promise and character and the 21/10 available with Bet365 looks to big in my opinion. Having scored in three World Cups so far Ghana’s main man upfront Asamoah Gyan knows how to find the net and the 6/1 first goalscorer with Coral looks good value. In a match that looks sure to produce goals, especially given that both sides need the win to have any chance of progressing, the Result/Both teams to score market could interest punters. With their vulnerable defence Portugal look likely to score so a Ghana and Yes in the double market at 21/5 with Coral is well worth investing in.
