ITALY VS PARAGUAY LIVE WORLD CUP 2010 BETTING TIPS

We're just underway today in the widely-anticipated fixture between Italy and Paraguay. Italy didn't exactly have the best warm-up to the 2010 World Cup, despite being the defending champions. They still have that core that won the 2006 competition in Germany, but they will be relying on a newery, younger strikeforce to get the job done in front of goal. 

Ladbrokes has priced Italy as the pre-match even money favourites to win and you can bank on that being a lukewarm price. As defending champions, you would expect Italy to command a bit more respect than that- but such was the underwhelmingness of their pre-tournament warm-up that you get the feeling the bookies think the Italians are vulnerable here. 
Paraguay certainly won't disagree and even though their star player was shot in the head during a nightclub incident a few months back, they do have plenty of upper-level players who will be looking to factor into the equation. 
Paraguay are trading at pre-match odds of 4.0 to win this match with the draw priced at 3.2. 
Italy are trading at 1.66 to score first in this match while Paraguay are at 2.62 to get on the scoresheet before the Italians do. No goals in the match pays a mere 6.5. 
The bookmakers favour a half-time draw at a 1.8 price while Italy to be leading at half-time pays out at 3.0. Paraguay to win the first 45 minutes is an enticing 4.5 price. 
Alberto Gilardino is trading at 5.5 to score the next goal of the match with Vincenzo Iaquinta priced at 8.5. Daniele De Rossi sits at 11.0. 
For Paraguay, they are looking at Lucas Barrios to score next at 9.5 while Nelson Valdez is priced at 11.0.
