Closing the round of 16 fixtures at the 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the battle of the European titans, when Spain take on Portugal at the Green Point Stadium tonight.
Our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is to go against the odds and back Portugal to win at $4.33 – although a penalty shootout could be a safe wager at $10.
Kicking off at 8.30pm local time, which makes it 4.30am AEST tomorrow morning, SBS will be the place to tune into from 4am with the pre game lead in.
Spain have been the hot favourites from before the tournament began but have yet proved their case for the crown, however punters are still backing them as favourites as they go into the game at $2 with SportsBet.
David Villa has been strong for them so far, and will need to hit the back of the net tonight, with preferably a more impressive Fernando Torres yet to reach his pre injury fitness.
Portugal have been impressive, not having let a goal in their net despite playing some strong attacking sides including Brazil, and also managed a 7-0 mauling of North Korea so far and are at $4.33 for the win.
The Portuguese will no doubt sit back and hold a Spanish attack, looking to Cristiano Ronaldo to keep it together and manipulate on the counter.
Our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is to go against the odds and back Portugal to win at $4.33 – although this is such a close one to pick, a penalty shootout could be a safe wager at $10.
