It is now just a matter of hours before the highly anticipated 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa kicks off, and with fans around the world preparing to hibernate for the next month, the host nation take on Mexico tonight.
If push comes to shove our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is a narrow single goal win by Mexico at $4.
Kicking off at 4pm local time – midnight on Friday night in Australia, SBS will show the game which will hope to live up to the expectations of football fans around the globe.
Heading into Match 1, Mexico are going into the match as favourites at $2.50 with SportsBet – but the beauty of the world cup is the ability an underdog has to overcome some of the big guns.
South Africa are the underdog for this game at $2.88 – but with the home crowd, and the obvious pride of a nation the squad are carrying on their shoulders by holding the tournament, they will certainly put on a passionate performance.
While a draw at $3.20 is certainly not out of the question, if push comes to shove our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is a narrow single goal win by Mexico at $4.
At SportsBet there are a huge array of world cup betting markets on offer – including halftime score, first team to score, first and second half goals, and many, many more!
