Betting the 2010 World Cup Final
Sports Interaction's Al Dannity looks at the betting options for the World Cup Final.It's time to expect the unexpected as the World Cup Final is nearly here.
This is a game prone to springing surprises on fans. With so much tension and drama, it's wise for bettors to expect one or two bizarre incidents. One bet worth keeping an eye on is Sports Interaction's offer of +8000 on a goal being scored in the first minute. With two teams loaded with offensive talent on the park, it's worth taking an outside chance on an early breakthrough.
Let's look at the two leaders in the race for the Golden Boot. Spain's David Villa and Wesley Sneijder of the Netherlands have each scored 5 goals in the tournament so far. It's rare that the top scorer prize is shared so I expect one of these attacking threats to find the back of the net on Sunday. While Sneijder has been heroic for the Netherlands in this tournament, there's simply no looking past Villa's phenomenal scoring record in international Soccer. I like David Villa at +110 with Sports Interaction to score on Sunday. Make the World Cup interesting - bet on it!
While I don't expect Sneijder to continue his scoring run, I like one of his team mates to score on Sunday. Arjen Robben may play out on the wing but the speedy attacker knows when to cut inside and strike. I like Robben at +300 to score for the Netherlands in the World Cup Final.
With such evenly matched teams it's important to look at where there are weaknesses. In both cases the center backs are uneasy at times and this will present opportunities for attackers. We won't see a goal feast on Sunday but I still like the Over of +2.5 goals at +145 with Sports Interaction.
Midfield will be crucial towards deciding the final outcome. Spain and the Netherlands are both capable of slick passing play. Whoever wins this battle will come out on top and claim the ultimate prize in Soccer. With Xavi, Andres Iniesta, and Xabi Alonso, Spain has the talent to win almost any game. The Netherlands are similarly well equipped with Mark van Bommel, Sneijder, and the option of introducing Rafael van der Vaart from the bench.
This struggle in the middle of the park will see the flow of this game will change more than once, so don't expect a clean sheet at either end. Eventually Spain's greater depth of talent will be the difference. I like Spain to win 2-1 at +800 with Sports Interaction.
