NEW ZEALAND VS SLOVAKIA 2010 WORLD CUP BETTING TIPS

This one could be a bit more complicated than it looks at the outset, especially if New Zealand can sneak an early goal and force Slovakia to come at them. Personally, I think if New Zealand were on top in this group at the days end it would be an absolutely incredible story. 

Slovakia are a determined side who really know how to play some organized stuff, but they're still a beatable favourite despite the 4/9 odds to win. 
Anybody backing New Zealand are helping themselves to some primo odds, with Blue Square pricing them at 7/1. The draw is available at a 3/1 price and that seems about right to me. 
Marek Hamsik looks to be the key player for Slovakia and you'll find him priced at 15/8 to score a goal at any point during the match. He's a massive 40/1 to score a goal in both halves while he's priced at 12/1 to score a goal from outside the box. 
Chris Killen is 4/1 for New Zealand and he's a massive 150/1 to grab a massive hat-trick. He's 11/2 to score first for New Zealand and I think that's a pretty good price.
You can back Slovakia on a (-1.0) handicap at a 5/4 price while New Zealand (+1.0) trades at a 13/8 listing. 
Slovakia are odds-on to be leading at half-time with odds of 10/11. New Zealand are at 6/1 and that's not a bad bet as winning 45 minutes is considerably easier than winning a full 90. 
The key is who scores first- a New Zealand goal turns this match on its head and you'll find the Oceania side listed at 11/4 to score first. Slovakia are priced at a slim 1/3. 
I think Slovakia are decent favourites, but New Zealand may offer up a bit more than many others might assume. They're certainly the value option, but even the draw is a plausible result.
