SLOVAKIA VS ITALY 2010 WORLD CUP BETTING TIPS
The Italians go into today's match as fairly plausible favourites, but it looks far from certain as Italy face the prospect of potentially crashing out of the group stages as defending champions. They will need to beat Slovakia and hope that New Zealand draw or lose against Paraguay.
Ladbrokes has listed the Italians at a 1.57 price to win the match while Slovakia are listed at 6.0. The draw is trading at 3.75 and that would be enough for Italy if New Zealand were to lose against Paraguay.
The favoured correct score odds are a 1-0 result to the Italians at a 5.5 price while a 2-0 victory rewards at 6.0. A 1-1 victory is trading at 6.5 while 0-0 is listed at 7.5. A 2-1 victory for Italy is priced at 9.0.
Alberto Gilardino is the favoured anytime goalscorer in this match and you'll find him trading at 2.37 to score a goal. Antonio Di Natale is priced at 2.62 while Vincenzo Iaquinta sits at 2.75. Giampalo Pazzini is listed at 3.25 while Simone Pepecan be backed at 4.0.
Stanislav Sestak is favoured for Slovakia and he's priced at 4.5. Robert Vittek is also a contender at that price.
Italy are favoured to score the first goal with a 1.5 price while Slovakia are listed at 3.5 to open the scoring.
The bookmakers don't favour many goals in this one with the over/under at 2.5 favouring the under at a 1.66 price. The over trades at 2.1.
I could see a red card happening heere and you'll find that priced at 3.5. A penalty to be awarded and scored is priced at 3.0.
I think the Italians should have too much for Slovakia and as long as they keep their discipline and keep all 11 men on the field then they should be able to pull this off. If Italy give up a red early on then this one will be game-on for Slovakia.
