SOUTH AFRICA VS NEW ZEALAND CONFEDERATIONS CUP BETTING TIPS

South Africa's cricket team is blowing away the competition at the World Twenty20 and the Saffer's National Football side is looking to dominate the opposition on home turf in the 2009 Confederations Cup- a proper dress-rehearsal for the 2010 World Cup. Currently, South Africa go in as big favourites against New Zealand at a 3/10 price. New Zealand is listed at 10/1 for the outright win while the draw pays a solid 7/2. You'll need a -2 handicap to get better than evens on South Africa as their (-2.0) odds pays out at 23/10. South Africa are 5/6 to win both halves with draw/South Africa listed at 11/4. South Africa are also 4/6 to take the half-time result while New Zealand carry a tempting 15/2 price. It could very well be a game of two halves and if New Zealand start well and notch an early goal, 15/2 is a tidy piece of business to win 45 minutes of football.The lowest odds on correct score are South Africa 2-0 with 1-0 paying out at 11/2. A 2-1 victory pays out at 7/1 while 3-1 South Africa carries a 9/1 price. New Zealand to win 1-0 pays 22/1, while a 2-1 victory (their most likely margin) is listed at 30/1. The goalscorer markets include some interesting options and I'm going to be keeping my eye on the Premiership-based players, as they could be what makes the difference against New Zealand. Steven Pienaar carries a 12/1 price for first goalscorer while Aaron Mokoena pays out at 28/1. Benson Mhlongo pays out at 20/1 to score first while Katlego Mphela pays out at 5/1. Pienaar is 4/1 anytime, Mphela is 11/8, Mokoena is 9/1 and Mhlongo is 15/2. For New Zealand, Shane Smeltz carries an anytime price of 4/1 while Celtic's Chris Killen pays 10/3. Chris Wood also carries a 4/1 price and I can see the West Brom striker troubling the Bofana Bofana defence.I think the likely result is a 3-1 victory for South Africa, but I'm also having a punt on New Zealand at 2-1. I'm backing Chris Killen to score for New Zealand with Pienaar and Mphela to get on the scoresheet for South Africa.
