Acca Tips
Serbia to win @ 7/10 - Paddy Power
There is no disgrace in ever losing to Brazil, and Serbia were in the fight with the World Cup favourites for the majority of the game in matchday 1. They eventually fell to a stunning double from Richarlison (more on him later) but to our eye the Serbs are still worthy of being regarded as dark horses for this tournament after an encouraging display.
The team is full of players established in solid European sides and with Aleksandr Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic to choose from up top, Serbia are certainly not lacking in firepower.
This is the big game for Serbia in the group if they are to progress and expect them to fly out of the traps against a Cameroon team who played well against Switzerland but looked fairly toothless.
Mitrovic is in the form of his life and after getting the nod from his national team coach, he and Serbia can have some joy against the potentially leaky Cameroonian defence. Serbia's 7/10 price to win looks fair and backing them to triumph in the early kick-off begins our Monday four-fold.
Son Heung-Min to Score Anytime @ 21/10 - Paddy Power
Ghana are always one of the most exciting teams to watch for neutrals and they kicked off their 2022 World Cup campaign in trademark fashion: a high scoring thriller.
Eventually going down 3-2 to a Bruno Fernandes inspired Portugal, the Black Stars gained much credit from fans for their attacking style of play. However, this style of play leaves them vulnerable at the back and if one man in the South Korean side is going to capitalise it is surely their masked hero Son Heung-Min.
The Spurs forward is the most famous man in South Korea and has carried the burden of his country's footballing hopes for years now.
In the first game of the tournament Son was well off the pace, unsurprisingly considering he missed so much of the latter part of the Premier League season due to injury, but with 90 minutes under his belt he should be sharper here.
He is lethal off both feet, will be on set piece duty and is facing a defence that was cut to ribbons at times against Portugal. At odds of north of 2/1 Son is too big a price to bag a World Cup goal.
Richarlison to Score Anytime @ 15/8 @ Paddy Power
Incredibly, Richarlison's Instagram follower count has risen by over four MILLION users since his man of the match display against Serbia in matchday 1.
The enigmatic former Everton star stunned the Serbs with a brilliant double, particularly that already iconic overhead kick, and he has more than justified his manager's faith in being chosen to lead the Brazilian line ahead of the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino.
Throughout Richarlison's Premier League career he has been a streaky player when it comes to goals and assists, but when he is confident and on form he is lethal.
He surely must feel on top of the world after his start to the World Cup campaign and with another start almost guaranteed and elite service from the likes of Vini JR, Neymar, Raphinha and more to come from the bench he can continue his hot streak and bag another goal against Switzerland.
The Swiss goalkeeper Sommer won Man of the match in their opener but will be facing a serious arsenal of attacking weapons here so expect Brazil, and hopefully Richarlison, to break his resistance.
Portugal vs Uruguay - Both Teams To Score @ Evs - Paddy Power
Wrapping up our Monday accumulator, we can't resist backing goals in a game so jam-packed with attacking talent.
Portugal as has been mentioned began their campaign with a thrilling 3-2 win over Ghana, but their opponents here Uruguay were held to a 0-0 draw by a resolute South Korean side. In the game Uruguay were marginally the better side, thanks in no part to a brilliant Valverde performance in midfield, but could not find a breakthrough.
Suarez and Nunez up front for the Uruguayans, supplemented by Edinson Cavani from the bench, can give Portugal plenty to think about if the South Americans have shaken off the rust they showed vs South Korea, while Portugal's squad is stacked with class and spearheaded of course by the only male player to score at five World Cups Cristiano Ronaldo.
Portugal's keeper Costa nearly gave away a comical goal at the death against Ghana and could be shaky again here, while Uruguay's aging central defence could struggle with the guile of the likes of Bruno, Bernardo Silva, Cancelo and Joao Felix.
Backing both teams to score here as the underdog of a two outcome market looks a solid play and completes our Monday accumulator.
Best of luck if you are following us in and of course, please remember to gamble responsibly.
