The match between Denmark and France is certainly the biggest disappointment of the 2018 World Cup so far, as we saw the first nil-nil draw at the tournament in 32 games on record. The price on a draw was +175, as the bookmakers predicted what will happen at Luzhniki Stadium due to a fact that both sides needed one more point to secure the place in the knock-out stage.
Game Recap
It was a really boring game, as the fans couldn’t see a single dangerous scoring opportunity in 90 minutes of soccer, so a massive disapproval from the stands at the end of the match was quite expected. The odds on a draw were at +175, while the clash was ended way in the under of the total of 2.5 goals at -189, while the bettors who wagered on the under 1.5 goals in this one at +137 are certainly pleased with the performance.
Some bettors surely counted on a peaceful stalemate, while those who wagered on a draw at both halftime and full time earned some nice wages at +300. The price on both teams to score was at +104, but we expectedly saw a tight encounter, so everyone who bet on at least one team to fail to find the net at -143 got some easy wages.
France had the ball in possession for 62% of the time, controlling the tempo for the most of the match, and the Blues took 11 shots towards Kasper Schmeichel, but none of those was quality enough to endanger Denmark’s goalie. On the other side, the Danes took five shots, as one went on target, while their best opportunity to score wasn’t even a shot, as Steve Mandanda was faster to the ball than Christian Eriksen. Denmark wanted a draw and certainly deserved it, as both sides qualified for the knock-out phase of the 2018 World Cup.
France finished on the top of the Group C, and the odds are at -188 on the Blues to reach the Quarter-Finals, while the market on the Semi-Finals is set at +137. According to BetDSI Sportsbook, Denmark is at +800 to make it to the last four, whilst the Danes are at +162 to reach the Quarter-Finals.
