South Africa V Mexico Betting Odds For World Cup 2010 Opening Game Make Draw Likely Result
Friday 11 June 2010 at 10:55
The South Africa v Mexico Betting Odds for this afternoon's World Cup 2010 opener have the teams evenly matched and with neither side wanting to lose their first game we could be looking at a draw.
Draw Looks Likely In First World Cup Match
South Africa are bidding to avoid becoming the first World Cup Host to be eliminated at the group stage but they are the lowest ranked hosts ever so there must be a slight worry for them. With that in mind they will surely look to do everything in their power to avoid losing their first game and the draw looks a good bet against Mexico, it can be backed at 23/10 with Ladbrokes. If you fancy South Africa to win you can get 15/8 with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers whilst Mexico are rated narrow favourites to win the game at 13/8 with Bet365 and Stan James.
South Africa Likely To Look To Their Defence To Keep Them In Games
South Africa have kept four clean sheets in their last six games and now look a very strong defensive unit so there are likely to be very few goals in this game, under 2.5 goals looks one of the more likely winning bets in South Africa v Mexico and that should be backed at 8/15 with SkyBet and Boylesports. If either side are to win 1-0 would be the most likely scoreline, a 1-0 win for South Africa is 7/1 with SkyBet whilst the same score for Mexico is 13/2 with Blue Square. The best bet though should be 1-1 and that is 11/2 with SkyBet and Blue Square.
