Brazil 5-6 to bag most Olympic last-eight goals

BRAZIL are 5-6 favourites in bet365's special on which team will score the most goals in Saturday's men's Olympic football quarter-finals.

Great Britain, who meet South Korea at the Millennium Stadium, are next in the list and then it is Japan at 7-1 and Mexico at 8-1.

Mexico will tackle 10-1 Senegal while Japan's opponents Egypt are  11-1. South Korea are 14-1 shots and Honduras, who face the the U-23 A Selecao, are unsurprisingly 33-1 outsiders of eight.

The firm have also priced-up lines on how many goals will be scored in the four matches - seven or fewer can be backed at 5-2 while it is 5-6 over or under 9.5 and 9-4 is chalked up about 12 or more.

Daniel Sturridge, who scored the sole goal of Team GB's final group game against Uruguay, is a 5-1 favourite with Hills and Ladbrokes to notch first in Cardiff.

Team GB's women were knocked out at the last-eight stage on Friday night after losing 2-0 to Canada.

Canada's semi-final opponents will be North American neighbours USA while France and Japan will do battle on Monday for a final berth.

Bet365 believe it will be a Super Saturday for Team GB in terms of more gold medals. Five or more can be backed at 5-4, six or more is 7-2, seven or more is 14-1 and a 80-1 is available about a whopping eight or more.

Hills's oddsmakers seem to share their thinking.

The firm have GB as favourites for all three remaining rowing finals - 9-2 for three golds - and 4-11 for three rowing medals of any kind.

They also make Mo Farah an 11-8 favourite for the men's 10,000m on the track and Helen Jenkins a 6-4 jolly in the women's triathlon.

Andy Murray is 7-4 with Hills to avenge his Wimbledon final defeat by Roger Federer and grab gold when they meet on Sunday. Federer is 2-5.
