SOUTH AFRICA VS MEXICO WORLD CUP 2010 LAST MINUTE BETTING TIPS

We're less than an hour away from the kick-off of the opening fixture of the 2010 World Cup, we've got the hosts taking on Mexico and we expet plenty of action and excitement for this one. 

Popular UK bookmaker Ladbrokes has listed Mexico as the slim favourites with a 2.4 price against South Africa's 2.87 listing. The draw pays out at 3.3 and I think that's a really solid bet for the neutral. 
I think Mexico boast the better strike force, but neither team has an especially accomplished defensive unit and I think that the first goal isn't especially important, but I do think the second one will be absolutely vital. If Mexico get up 2-0 I don't see South Africa coming back to save the match, but I wouldn't sweat too hard if Mexico score a single as South Africa are more than capable of hitting the back of the net. 
The correct score wagering favours Mexico and a 1-0 result for them pays out at 6.0- the same price as a 1-1 draw. South Africa are priced at 7.0 to win the match 1-0 while a 2-1 result to Bofana Bofana pays out at 10.0 while a 2-1 result for Mexico is just ahead of that at 9.0. 
Guillermo Franco is one of Mexico's top strikers along with new Manchester United signing Javier Hernandez or Chicharito. They're both at 2.75 to score anytime while South Africa's Katlego Mphela is priced at 3.25. 
The over/under on goals at 2.5 favours the under at a 1.5 price. If you think there will be three goals or more in this one- you're cashing out a 2.37 price. 
A half-time draw is favoured at an odds-on price of 1.9 while Mexico are priced at 3.25 and South Africa at 3.4. I think that South Africa can get ahead early but it will take nearly perfect play. And that ball will certainly add itself into the equation as another variable.
