Asian Football Cup 2019 Discussion Thread

Vietnam against Japan tomorrow and as usual Japan the most favourite comparing to their opponent but Japan ML is not good option for me because the odds are far to decent however i was thinking to pick over 2.5 goals for this match

I think the Japan to win at full-time odds is of the best value @ 1.33 and I'd grab that, Japan has well won all the previous encounters between both teams, I'm not liking the over 2.5 goals idea simply because it's a knockout stage that I'd expect both teams to play with extreme caution.

[buwaytress]

I'm a sucker, Sy, and I'm even willing to bet on Vietnam to somehow overcome Japan even though I think they're going to go through all the way to the final (even though I wish they don't). I caught a bet on Fairlay at > 14/1, and right now it's more like 11/1 on most places, so I'll be very happy to win.

Tell you what, though. China, as much as I thought they shouldn't have gone through against Thailand... I fancy their chances against Iran. I prefer to think they're BOTH equally strong (or equally weak) in this tournament, even if on paper Iran is the clear winner. I also took a bet on them (Betcoin) @10.5

So yeah, let's spring a surprise guys... it would be incredible to have 1 Southeast Asian team in the Semis!

I guess Vietnam might approach this game with a defensive playing style, Vietnam obviously knew that Japan is much more stronger than them in every areas and the only chance for them to beat Japan is to drag the game into penalty shootout, but I believe Japan will not allow Vietnam to drag this game into overtime today, my prediction would be Japan to beat Vietnam in full time today and the number of goals would be under 2.5 goals.

well at that price yeah Vietnam totally worth taking the shot even it lost
I haven't made any bet on AFC today , was really busy the whole day and didn't even touch the laptop till now

I like your China bet , I would say it's really a close game and odds for Iran are ridiculous
still not sure what to bet and game will start in 9 minutes , I might go for draw and China +1 but most likely I will just watch the first half and make a live bet on betfair in 2nd half

Bad day... Japan won by a goal but the surprising thing is Iran beating China with three goals!
Tomorrow games are challenging too! I think Qatar and UAE have more chances to win, although Australia is a good team too

Japan vs Vietnam fixture was predictable, I had Japan to win and total of under 2.5 goals, but as you've pointed out already about China vs Iran match, although I did not place any bet of that fixture as I wasn't sure of what to expect from the match, If were to place a bet on that match I'd have gone for under 2.5 goals which would have resulted in a loss.

Incredible games yesterday, Vietnam probably deserved to lose on overall performance but they still gave Japan a torrid time with all those early fouls. 1-0, losing to a penalty isn't a bad result at all.

The real surprise is the 3 goals China conceded. I never fancied them but I thought there was a surprise in store.

I'm having a hard time with today's gut decision to again choose the underdogs, who must surely have at least 1 surprise... or go for the reliable bookie pickings so far for victory? Will post later my bets~

I was quite disappointed at first when the referee did not award a penalty immediately to Japan after a rash challenge was made by the Vietnam player, but luckily the referee decided to use the VAR technology to watch the replay on the challenge made by the Vietnam player. In my opinion, that was clearly a penalty and the referee did not made the wrong decision to award a penalty to Japan, Iran are a strong team in Asian and I believe Japan will be having a hard time playing against them in the Semi-finals.

I was also disappointed with that decision but lately he has used the technolgy for confirming again. Otherwise, it would be a bad decision. Japan vs Iran match will be a good match to watch. It is unpredictable. Both team playing well. I wish Japan win the match.

[bering]

I didn't watching the match Vietnam against Japan only bets for over 2.5 goals but lost and seems Vietnam able to compete with Japan in this game because Japan only able to made score through penaltykick not from open game and indeed lost is lost whatever the final score but at least Vietnam was successfully can increase their game level

[swogerino]

I did bet on Japan yesterday and won the bet, the odd was low 1.33 but I am happily playing this cup as the games seem to be going well for gamblers. I placed a bet on South Korea today as the odd was 2.1 at bet365 and was against Qatar, I have seen both teams playing and I think I will win this bet today too because South Korea plays better and have also beaten Germany.

[rdbase]

Qatar cant be underestimated.
Watched their match against Iraq and they were solid defense wise. Offense is another subject but they held up good.
Is South Korea a super power in these Asian cup matches cause I have not watched them play yet.

The match against Germany in the World cup is as way back as 6-7 months ago, I don't think that should be taken in to consideration to analyze this fixture, Every knew germany was terrible at the World cup and even after the world cup. South Korea could only beat Germany buy never qualified from the group stage either.  This Qatar team should never be underestimated, and I wouldn't be taken aback should they win this match.

If they lose as well, I think this team should leave the stadium with their heads held up high because they've had a fantastic tournament in my opinion. I'm really backing them to cause an upset today!

[hahay]

I didn't really follow ASIAN CUP and yesterday I lost because I bet for Vietnam vs Japan about goals over 2.5, lol. Now I want to try again for South Korea vs Qatar match with the same type of bet, which is over 2.5 with an odds of 2.44 or maybe over 1.5 odds 1.47, because I'm sure Qatar can provide great resistance to South Korea, so I'm not sure of the type of bet ML. Hopefully I'm not mistaken this time.

I wouldnt bet on goals for this match. It is a toss up really.
I went with Qatar to win and with the above person who said they are saying their might be an upset in this match.
I did go with an over for the Australia match going on later today. Those two teams know how to score and the host team will not go down without a fight. I put over 2.5 goals for with 2.39x odds.

[SyGambler]

first game for today South Korea vs Qatar .. here are my thoughts :

I have shared here before few days ago that the odds for Qatar to win or to qualify are really good to take and I was right cause odds went lower the next day
placed one unit on Qatar to qualify X3.59 sportsbet odds after boost , now it's lower so the value is really small ( X2.87 after boost )

we all saw how Qatar played great against all of their opponents , they won all of their games without having to go extra time and all teams failed to score against Qatar
South Korea disappointed me last game and showed me that they aren't as good as we expect them to be

I placed 2 units as well on Qatar to score at least one goal , odds for that in sportsbet is X1.74 after boost and I strongly believe this is the best play for this match
Qatar has one of the best striking lines in Asia and they have the top goal scorer for the competition Almoez Ali scoring 7 goals so far !!

Where have you been? Haha! South Korea and Japan are practically Asian royalty - and if you need a reminder of how well they play despite certain physicalities in height, you only need to rewind to 2018 World Cup to see how doggedly they can take a match.

All the same, I took a Qatar bet only because they are still the darkhorses of this tourney.

Totally with you on this, my friend! I actually caught them at around 4.6 on Bitcoinrush, but you know, I just HAD to parlay it with 2 other games haha... They had even better on Fairlay too, it's almost 5/1 now if you still want to bet!

So far so good, they're the only team with 1 shot on target, though not very pretty possession wise. Almoez FTW!

[snipie]

Coming right now and it is draw between Qatar and South Korea after 78 minutes with a 61% possession for the South Korean. Extra-time maybe?

Edit : Qatar just scored (fixed the time)

I just started watching at the 60 minute of the second half.
And from what I have seen so far South Korea has just been sitting back and not putting pressure on Qatar and thats why they scored at the 80 minute mark and are probably going to win the game.
And just now they are starting to want to score. They dont start to strike in the last minutes of the game?
Not to smart for a team to start doing with a qatar team whom I watched during their last game laying in waiting until they opponents are too tired to do anything.
And now they are leading they know how to waste time by falling to the ground and having their stretcher come on the field in the dying minutes of the game.
That seems to be the smarter team in this asian cup.

I see now why Tottenham hot spurs have over very high odds of winning their match against Chelsea the other day.

[SyGambler]

Qatar made history today qualifying for the semi final , I knew they will play good football and as expected Korea didn't dominate the game as bookies expected
won both of my bets and my outright bet is looking better and better , it will officially win if Australia was able to knock out UAE but if somehow UAE managed to qualify I can make a hedge next game and still secure nice profits

moving to the next game , to be honest I hate how both of UAE and Australia play and both teams were really overrated in the past games against weaker opponents
UAE defense isn't strong so betting on Australia to score at least 2 goals may be good (X2.17 sportsbet odds ) since Australia usually creates a lot of chances

to be honest I don't like this game or this bet a lot , but going for it just to enjoy the game since today secured a lot of profit
