The “World Cup Tonight” crew previewed the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup final matchup between Spain and England.
Under 8.5 corners (+105)
I expect Spain to have a good bit of possession in this one — who doesn’t? That means most of the match will be played between the boxes, and there probably will not be many great chances resulting in corners.
If you look at Spain’s three biggest matches this tournament, there were six corners against Sweden, seven in the 90 vs. Netherlands and just three against Japan.
Buying this number up to 9.5 will cost you roughly 75 cents, so I will pass on that and go with the 8.5 at a small plus price.
PICK: Under 8.5 total corners (bet $10 to win $20.50 total)
Alessia Russo and Lauren Hemp to have a shot on target (+137)
England has averaged six shots on goal per game in the World Cup, and whatever chances it does generate will likely come from Russo and Hemp, who have both scored in each of the last two games. The duo may also find some additional space, benefiting from the return of Lauren James.
PICK: Alessia Russo and Lauren Hemp to have a shot on target (bet $10 to win $23.70 total)
