EGYPT VS USA 2009 CONFEDERATIONS CUP BETTING TIPS

Egypt are going into their Confederations Cup fixture against the United States as odds-on favourites with a price of 8/11. The United States, led by their dynamo Landon Donovan, are listed at 19/5 while the draw pays out at 13/5.The US has lost a bit of credibility up against the quality of opposition on display at the 2009 Confederations Cup. The most likely correct score is listed as either 1-0 Egypt or 2-0 Egypt. Those margins, in favour of the Americans, pay out at 8/1 and 22/1, respectively. Clearly the bookmakers don't expect a winning performance from the American side. The 1-1 draw pays 6/1 while a 3-1 win to the States pays out at 66/1. Egypt to win both halves pays out at 8/5 and that's solid odds if you're looking to back the African champs, who bested Italy in a famous performance, while draw/Egypt pays out at 100/30. They could have just said 10 to 3 but I'm not going to question William Hill's methods. Mohammad Zidane is listed at 6/5 to score anytime and is 9/2 first and last. He's 25/1 for a hat-trick and the games only clear favourite to do so. Mohamed Aboutriaka is 7/4 to score anytime and carries a 6/1 first and last price. Landon Donovan is 10/3 anytime for the USA and 9/1 first and last. Jozy Altidore and Conor Casey are listed at identical prices of 7/2 anytime and 10/1 first and last. Freddy Adu is 6/1 anytime and 16/1 first and last. In terms of handicap betting, Egypt (-1.0) are 23/10 against USA (+1.0) at evens. A Handicap tie (-1.0) pays out at 21/10.This one is definitely the Egyptians to lose, while the Americans certainly have what it takes, they will need to produce their best performance of the tournament to win this one. I'm backing 3-1 Egypt and 1-0 USA.
