World Cup – Spain Vs Switzerland – Betting Picks – Preview
Posted on June 16, 2010 by Harry
Bookmakers’ favorite to lift the World Cup trophy, Spain, faces Switzerland at 17:00. This is the second Group H game as earlier Honduras will play Chile.
Spain is going to this game as clear favorites and the Furia Roja will try to prevail in order to complete the first aim which is no other than the first spot of the Group. Spain most likely will begin the match with a 4-3-1-2 formation where Torres and Villa will be in attack with Xavi as a support. The team is not facing any problems and the fact that the players are keeping a low profile regarding their chances to win the tournament is a clear indication that they know how difficult is to win a World Cup game no matter of the opponent name.
Spain had absolutely no problem to reach World Cup final stage as they toped their qualification group with 10 wins over 10 games. However, in some friendly games they struggled to prevail over opponents such as Saudi Arabia and South Korea but they demolished Poland by 6-0 score. Del Bosque knows that this is a very important game and will deploy a full strength squad on the pitch. He knows that with a win over Switzerland he will have the chance to rest some key players to the game against Honduras.
On the other hand, Switzerland is extremely strong on the defensive area. They rarely concede but they do also have great difficulties to score. They know that Spain is the favorite and that they will battle with Chile for the second spot. Having this in mind we are expecting to watch a heavily defensive formation with lot’s of players to advance at attack from free kicks. The team most likely will stick to a 4-1-4-1 tactic plan where Derdiyok will be the only man inside Spain’s defense. It is important to understand that Switzerland will be happy if they lost the game by 1-0 as the standings are finalized regarding the goals scored and then the goals difference.
The online sports betting sites offer Spain’s win at 1.25, the draw at 5.00 while Switzerland’s win high at 12.50. The Over / Under 2.5 Goals bet is set at 1.88 / 1.83 while excellent are the odds on Handicap against Spain where the -1 is at 1.78. The correct score of 2-0 is also the prime choice of bookmakers as it is low at 4.75. A good bet and our betting pick is the HalfTime / Full Time bet of Spain / Spain. The offered odds are at 1.80 . Now, all those who believe that Spain will not be able to win they can choose the Double Chance bet of X2 which is offered at a very good price of 3.60.
