Errani won't stand a chance here. Azarenka has been doing great in the first two rounds, she is confident and slowly improving her ranking. Her first serve is great, she is very good at second serve as well and is not giving the opponents a lot of chance in her service games. Errani, on the other hand, continued with unconvincing serving. Her serves are just too slow and Azarenka won't have any problems firing return winners. One glance over the head-to-head matches reveals that this matchup is great for Azarenka, who deals with Errani's top spin shots easily. I expect another dominant performance by Azarenka. Details

Bencic has the survival gene, especially against aggressive players. In those cases, the strength of her tennis comes to the fore, her combinatorics, and her clever thinking and setting up on the court. But these are always tight matches where details decide the outcome and suspenseful matches can and should always be expected. Looking at this season, in comparison with the playing style same/similar to Lisicki's, Bencic went over this margin against Smitkova, Mattek, Konta, Konjuh, Lucic, Barthel, Georges, Mladenovic and all these matches were tense. That is no accident and it does say something. She played only one head-to-head match against Lisicki this year. Lisicki hit 27 aces, and Benic could/had to win the second set because she had 4-1 lead. So, even with such performance, Lisicki's match went on to 20 games, which is close to this margin. Lisicki won two matches here, defeated Venus with her strength, but she had some problems against Strycova. Especially in the rallies in which Lisicki is always having problems.
When it comes to Lisicki, it doesn't matter who her opponent is. You can always expect that she will play a dramatic match. Looking at this season, Lisicki played 36 matches, one wasn't finished, and of the other matches, 13 were played on three sets, eight were finished in two sets, but went over today's margin, and three matches finished at 20 or more games. So, of the 35 finished matches, 24 Lisicki's matches were played at around this number of games, and most of them went over. Both statistically and playing-wise, this margin has a solid footing, both on Bencic's and on Lisicki's side, and is definitely worth a certain stake. Details

First of all, I think Hungary will win the first half by at least 5 goals but that bet is available with only a handful of bookies and with low margin. This option is a bit worse compared to the first one but it's still great. Both teams play fast-paced game and I think this match will be no exception. The Hungarians manage to play a game at 61 goal against the slow and good in defense Poles. The game with Chile finished at 50, mostly because of the slow paced game and opponent's inability to deal with Hungary's defense. Hungary played the game with Serbia to 73 goals. I would not be surprised by something like that today. Korea played Chile at 59, Serbia at 56 in the very tough and crucial game. with Sweden at 62. I expect at least that many goals today for a few reasons. The deep-set Korean defense should suit the fast Hungarian players even more than the Swedes and I would not be surprised if they managed to score over 40 goals again. Besides, both have very important games tomorrow - Hungary play Sweden for the top spot in the group, while Korea play Poland for round of 16. Since I expect Hungary to take a big lead early on, we should want a relaxed game in the second half. That is what Hungary do now. They played the second half with Poland at 32 goals, with Chile at 29, with Serbia at 35. The same happened last year in the unimportant first stage game with Romania (73 goals, 43-30, 22-17 in the second half). Korea will probably accept that pace and I would not be surprised if we see 35-40 goals in the second half only. The options at Hungarian handicap in the first half and more than 30 goals in the second half are better than this one but I decided to go with this bet with smaller stake because it's more widely-available.

The Slovenians have, so far in the competition, turned out to be one of the most serious teams. As the tournament goes and the difficult matches are closer, they are raising their seriousness level. They left the motivation problems they had in the first two rounds behind them against Brazil. They could have easily won by 10 goals if their reserve team didn't mess up in the end, which is something their coach clearly won't allow - against Brazil, when they were leading by 9, two and a half minutes before the end, he called for a time-out and lectured his players about a serious approach. The serious approach is the only thing they will need to defeat Japan today by double-digit advantage, because the quality difference is obvious. Slovenian defense is amazing, goalkeeper Kastelic is also often at a very high level, unlike the Japanese goalkeepers. It won't be simple for them today either because defense will face a very difficult challenge: the Slovenian players are tall enough to shoot over Japan's famous 6-0, but they are also very agile so I don't expect them to have many problems, even if the zone is set a bit deeper. However, it is doubtful how much will they play the zone because the Slovenians finally went into 'full speed' offensively against Brazil, and their transition is, with the Hungarian, probably one of the best in the generation. In other words, Slovenians have everything they need to 'demolish' Japan today. The bonus of this bet is the fact that Klemencic's team are playing the first match and they are 4 goals behind France in the goal difference. Improving that section is very important because in that case, they would only need a point in the last round to win the top spot in the group. Speaking of France, it is worth mentioning that they almost went over this margin against Japan (won by 9) even though they played this generation's worst match. Details
