Slovakia V New Zealand Betting Odds And Tips Make Slovakia A Good Bet
Tuesday 15 June 2010 at 10:57
Slovakia and New Zealand kick off their World Cup 2010 campaigns this afternoon and with the two other teams in Group F, Italy and Paraguay, drawing last night, both these teams will be pressing for an early advantage in this group.
Slovakia Should Be Too Strong For All Whites
Slovakia were in great form in qualifying for the World Cup 2010, winning their qualifying group ahead of the likes of Slovenia, Czech Republic and Poland. In contrast, New Zealand had to contend with the likes of Fiji and New Caledonia before coming through a play-off against the fifth place Asian team, Bahrain. Since then New Zealand have lost four of their five friendlies, although their one win was a shock victory over World Cup 2010 dark horses, Serbia. However, Slovakia look to have a straightforward task in beating New Zealand and 8/15 to win the match with Bet365 looks a very good price. If you fancy a tight game the draw is 3/1 with Ladbrokes and a New Zealand victory is 8/1 with Boylesports.
Slovakia Half Time/ Full Time Another Good Bet
As outlined above Slovakia should be too strong for New Zealand and not too much should be made of the All White's victory over Serbia as the Europeans were fielding few of their first choice eleven that day.
Slovakia put five goals past San Marino in the first half of their match in qualifying and although New Zealand are quite a bit better than San Marino, Slovakia should be capable of being at least 1-0 up by half time in this match, meaning they should be winning at both half time and full time. 5/4 for Slovakia to manage a Half Time/ Full Time victory with Paddy Power or Skybet looks well worth an interest against what should be the weakest team in the competition.
