In 5 games the team scoring first have gone on to lose the game. In the Swiss game the minute Ecuador scored Switzerland were 9/2 to win the game having started the game at 7/5. I took this price and am glad I did however at half time Ray Winston (Bet365) was offering me 11/2 on the Swiss.
Brazil, Holland, Costa Rica, Ivory Coast and Switzerland have all conceded first but won their game.
Therefore in 71% of games where both teams have scored the team conceding first has won, this could be a good indicator for in play betting followers.
2 games have finished to nil so far so are not included in these stats.
Of the 9 games 8 have finished with over 2.5 goals, this is another interesting fact and shows that bettering over 2.5 goals is a useful bet in this tournament so far. I think the second round of games will be the same but the 3rd round of games could be a bit more cagey.
Games won by the team conceding first when both teams score in the game.
