The World Cup draws to a close with Croatia vs Morocco in the third-place playoff on Saturday and Argentina vs France in the big one on Sunday; ...
In their three knockout games, France have conceded an average of almost 14 shots per 90 minutes to a backdrop of a per 90 minutes expected goals ratio of 1.72. But in this instance, there is a footballing god at the heart of a football match for whom the stars are aligning for. However, if you stretch it back throughout history, the average goal count in a World Cup final is 3.2 in 90 minutes. A quick, basic draw down of the total match shots in the last 14 third-place playoffs shows that each match is providing 31.2 shots per 90 minutes. That is a bet to consider but my money will be investing in the shots markets where there are some very juicy prices at odds-against to attack. I'll be backing him to have three or more shots at 13/8 with Sky Bet, four or more at 4/1 and two shots on target at 100/30.
