New Zealand vs. Philippines, 1: 30 a.m. ET Tuesday, FS1 and the FOX Sports app

Both Teams To Score No -180

What an outright dream circumstance for co-host New Zealand, as it sits on 3 points after the 1-0 upset win over Norway — it might haveactually been more — and now gets the weakest group in the group. With a win here, the group can ensure itself of moving through to the knockout round. 

Conversely, the Philippines provided absolutelynothing on the attack versus Switzerland, as it had the ball simply 27% of the time, didn’t have a corner kick, nor a shot on objective. New Zealand may not have as huge of a ownership edge, however it will still be difficult for the Philippines to rating.

New Zealand needto win, however a little part of me is a little reluctant to back the Ferns to win. After all, New Zealand had neverever won a World Cup match priorto the win over Norway, and it may have a little disappointment in this area.

Another method you might play this match is to play New Zealand to win and Under 3.5 objective parlay at -145, however I believe focusing on a low-scoring videogame in which the Philippines isn’t mostlikely to rating is the method to go. 

This match feels extremely much like a 1-0 New Zealand last.

PICK: Both Teams To Score No (bet $10 to win $15.56 overall)

Switzerland vs. Norway, 4 a.m. ET Tuesday, FS1 and the FOX Sports app

Norway +110 to win

I normally puton’t land on the “must-win/obvious” plays, however I’m going to back Norway here. It did not play especially well versus New Zealand however did have a coupleof great possibilities to rating, specifically late in the 2nd half. 

Switzerland ultimately broke through versus the Philippines after having the ball for the bulk of the match, however I wear’t see it having as simple of a time here versus a desperate group. 

Remember, too, the Swiss wentinto this tourney actually havingahardtime to rating objectives, so I wear’t desire to overreact to them “getting ideal” versus one of the poorer sides in the competitors.

I like Norway to pull this one out.

PICK: Norway to win (bet $10 to win $21 overall)
