While two of the biggest names in the 2010 FIFA World Cup battle for a spot in the semis at Port Elizabeth, two tournament outsiders Uruguay and Ghana will play off at the Soccer City Stadium to make their own piece of history.
Our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is to back a Uruguay 2-1 win at $9.50, as the solid Ghanaian defence may be overawed with the status of this fixture.
Scheduled for an 8.30pm start locally, this will make it 4.30am AEST tomorrow morning, SBS will start their live coverage from 4am with updates on the starting 11 which could alter your punt!
Few expected a quarterfinal to be made up of these two nations – although they have certainly proved they deserve their spots, and with Uruguay not having made it to the quarters for 40 years is at $2.10 to go one step further tonight with SportsBet.
Ghana on the other hand head into tonight’s game not only with the expectations of a nation, but of a continent, as they are the last side standing in the top eight from Africa, and are at $3.75 for the win.
When it comes to scoring first, Uruguay look to deliver with the in-from Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez who have torn apart defences already this tournament, and are at $4.50 and $5.50 to score first, while Asamoah Gyan – the man to have dealt the USA their final blow is at $7 in the same market.
Our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is to back a Uruguay 2-1 win at $9.50, as the solid Ghanaian defence may be overawed with the status of this fixture and what it means for Africa, and although it would be a wonderful feat will more likely find their footing too late for salvation.
