England Ladies V Spain Ladies

[Ken4155]

Been having a good look at tonight's England v Spain quarter-final match with a view to eking out a decent punt that has every chance of bearing fruit.

The Lionesses are on a 17 match unbeaten run - 15 wins and 2 draws, topped their group on 9 points, with 14 goals scored and 3 clean sheets.

Spain qualified in 2nd place behind their group winners, Germany, who beat them 2-0. Spain had to rely on a last gasp 90th minute winner in their match against Denmark and, despite dominating possession in all 3 of their games, do look vulnerable to the counter.

I expect them to test England, with quite a few on target shots and i'll be surprised if both teams do not register. Beth Mead is the tournament's leading scorer with 5 goals and she looks like a player on a mission.

Beth Mead over 1.5 shots on target
Match result - England win
More than 2 goals scored between both sides

£5 @ 12/1 - Bet 365

And, because i have a free bet with Sky;

£5 free bet; England 2-1 @ 15/2

Come on you Lionesses!!

Careful Ken, or Clarion will be here to tell us it's not real sport.

[Ken4155]

Yes, he's quite opiniated when it comes to sports that ought to only be played by men. In his eyes, i hasten to add. I'm loving this tournament.

As an aside, there are some who stand in betting shops all day long gambling on 'virtual' sports, Mozz.

Not doing so well at present :-(

[Old_Geezer]

I should have posted that earlier ;-)

[Blubster]

1 - 1 as they go into extra time

[Old_Geezer]

Amazing !

[Old_Geezer]

They think it's all over ;-)

[Mozz71]

I don't suppose your free bet was over 120 minutes Ken?

[Ken4155]

No, Mozz, 90 minutes. Whenever i back Burnley, a Clarets win is more important than a winning bet. And so it is with the Lionesses. I get to play again in a few days:-)

[Mozz71]

Shame. So close.

I'm not a betting man, but if I was, I'd probably bet against Spurs. That way, I get a little solace when they (inevitably) lose.

[Ken4155]

Going with the Germans tonight. Nowt original in that, seeing as how they are 2/7 to win. Was looking at a 2-0 result but that's only 5/1 which is a terrible price for a correct score bet.
The bet i've settled on is also 5/1 but doesn't rely on the correct score.

Germany to win both halves and be awarded most corners in both halves.

£5 @ 5s could get me £30.
