Here at Pickswise we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from PointsBet Sportsbook. We will also discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
A goal to be scored in both halves – (Portugal vs Uruguay) – Boosted from -115 to +100 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need a goal to be scored in both halves of the game between Portugal and Uruguay. Portugal was able to win their opening group stage game against Ghana, but needed 3 goals, all of wich came in the 2nd half. Meanwhile, Uruguay played to a 0-0 draw against South Korea. Everything is still in front of both of these teams in terms of placement in the group, so both sides should come out aggressively, looking for that first goal. Between the 2 sides, they have a ton of firepower, which should make a goal coming in both halves a reasonable play. Even though this prop is boosted to just even money, backing this prop still looks to be worth a play based on the scoring threats both teams have available.

Cristiano Ronaldo or Luis Suarez to score the first goal – Boosted from +210 to +250 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need either Cristiano Ronaldo or Luis Suarez to score the first goal in the match between Portugal and Uruguay this afternoon. Portugal held on in their first group match, beating Ghana 3-2. It was Ronaldo who opened the scoring in this game by converting a penalty kick. Uruguay’s first game ended in a 0-0 draw against South Korea, but they have more than enough firepower to score in this game against what was a shaky Portugal defense. Suarez could very well be the first to score in this match given his finishing ability. Ronaldo is also a great candidate to score first seeing that he will likely taken any penalty kick awarded to Portugal. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.
Both teams to score, Over 3.5 1st half corners, and Over 1.5 2nd half goals – (Portugal vs Uruguay) – Boosted from +320 to +375 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need both teams to score, over 3.5 1st half corners and over 1.5 2nd half goals in the match between Portugal and Uruguay. Even though Uruguay failed to score in their first match against South Korea and did not allow a goal, they are likely to have more success against a Portugal defense that allowed 2 goals to Ghana. In terms of first half corners, both teams are likely to be pushing hard for an early goal, so there is a good chance we will see a flurry of corners in the opening half. Portugal saw a total of 5 goals in the second half of their first match, so backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.
