Spain have been perennial underachievers so far, but there are signs that all that is about to change. The group stage has demonstrated they can replace quality with quality in all positions, and that will make them hard to beat on Tuesday night, but the value could still lie with France at 21/10 (or even better odds during the match on our live In-Play Console).

A team as defensively sound as France is capable of beating anyone, while Thierry Henry looks to be warming to the task. The Arsenal striker seemed to enjoy the extra freedom afforded by having Patrick Vieira as a strike partner, and he could be worth a bet at 5/1 in Hatters Bet's First Goalscorer market, especially as we'll refund your stake if he scores the last goal in the game instead (as he did against Togo). Visit Hatters Bet for more match odds.

Hatters Bet Picks:

France @ 21/10 (or bigger odds In-Play)
France to win 1-0 @ 7/1
Thierry Henry to score first @ 5/1 (cashback concession)
France 1-0 / Henry First Goalscorer @ 30/1

If we take our eye off the World Cup ball for one moment, the events down at SW19 should provide us with even more exciting In-Play betting action during the next two weeks. Regular Hatters Bet tennis customers will already be aware that fortunes can fluctuate wildly during a match, rewarding those of you prepared to wait for the right time to snap up the fancy prices.
