Martinique Vs Panama Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Martinique | +1, +1.5 (-105) | 625 | O2.5, 3 (-102) |
| Panama | -1, -1.5 (-115) | -265 | U2.5, 3 (-118) |
Martinique has value at soccer gambling sites as a heavy +625 underdog against Panama. Martinique comes into their match against Panama on a three-match win streak, including wins over El Salvador, Puerto Rico, and Saint Lucia.
Meanwhile, Panama has lost two of their last three matches and won three of their last 10. Their -265 odds predict they will continue to have success against Martinique, who they haven’t lost to in three head-to-head matches.
The best bet of the match is for Martinique to cover the 1, 1.5-goal spread with -105 odds. Martinique has covered a 1, 1.5-goal spread in their last seven matches, while Panama hasn’t beaten a team by more than 1.5 goals in 11 matches.
El Salvador is another team that hopes to break their head-to-head woes against opponent Costa Rica, who they haven’t beaten since 2009. The match spread lists El Salvador as a 0.5-goal underdog, but they have -125 odds to cover that spread.
El Salvador Vs Costa Rica Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Salvador | +0.5 (-125) | 250 | O2, 2.5 (+102) |
| Costa Rica | -0.5 (+105) | EVEN | U2, 2.5 (-122) |
The head-to-head history between these two teams makes Costa Rica’s EVEN moneyline odds at gambling sites seem like a lock; however, five of their last 10 clashes have resulted in a draw. A draw with +240 odds is slightly more likely than an El Salvador win at +250.
With both teams facing CONCACAF Gold Cup elimination after first game losses, goals are expected with +102 odds for the over set at 2, 2.5 goals. Costa Rica will also be without arguably their most important player, goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
The absence of a top goalie and draws in half of their last 10 head-to-head matches gives El Salvador a great opportunity to cover their 0.5-goal spread with -125 odds.
