by Ben McAleer at Ijumaa, Jun 22 2018 08:15
The Best Bet: Serbia and Switzerland to cancel each other out Serbia’s meeting with Switzerland is a tough one to predict. The former were impressive in their 1-0 win over Costa Rica, yet their profligacy may come back to haunt them, while the latter were able to hold Brazil to a 1-1 draw.

by Ben McAleer at Alhamisi, Jun 21 2018 13:54
