"Venezuela have played just a couple of friendlies this year. Both finished 1-1 and, going back to May last year, both teams have scored in 4/4"

Back Both Teams to Score @ 2.206/5 in Venezuela v Iran

Tobias Gourlay eases into the new week with an international friendly taking place on neutral territory in the Netherlands

Venezuela v Iran
Monday 14:00

Ghana 1 Egypt 1 in Cape Coast yesterday. With Egypt already through to Russia, and Ghana already out, it's a result that doesn't mean much to anyone... except Kev. Who finishes a successful week on a high.

Looking to emulate him, we begin in Nijmegen, the unlikely Dutch setting for Venezuela's friendly match with Iran this afternoon. Find a stream and keep this one open in the corner of your screen, because we're more optimistic than most about how exciting it's going to be.

This is Iran's fourth friendly in a little over a month. So far they've beaten Togo 2-0, drawn 1-1 with Russia and beaten Panama 2-1. In the last couple of years, six of their nine international friendlies have seen goals at both ends and that's the bet we like at an odds-against price today.

Venezuela have played just a couple of friendlies this year. Both finished 1-1 and, going back to May last year, both teams have scored in 4/4. Since August 2012, it's 15/21 with goals at both ends.

Enjoy. Hopefully.
