Minor note on betting the totals the rest of the way through: prices on the unders are more expensive so far than in the group stage but there is at least one reason for it: if a game is 1-1 late in regulation then teams will be playing with less urgency since they know there is another 30 minutes lef tin the game.
In a standard 90-minute game you see a lot more goals fall in the late 80/90th minutes because at least one team is pulling out all the stops going for the 3 points. For the rest of the tournament this will not hold true for 1-1 ties, significant enough to think about when betting a 2.5 total line.
