NESN.com’s picks: Draw, under
France delivered perhaps the most impressive Round of 16 performance in beating Argentina, but Les Bleus won’t have things so easy against Uruguay and its suffocating defense. This game will be tight, with the result more likely to be determined by a combination of mental and physical factors, instead of technical or tactical ones. With that in mind, we’re expecting this game to go to penalty kicks. Bet on the draw.
There won’t be much scoring in this game, as Uruguay’s defensive nous is bound to limit France’s attacking arsenal, and Edinson Cavani’s likely absence from the South Americans’ starting lineup will lower their chances of scoring. Take the under.
