SPAIN VS HONDURAS PREDICTIONS AND WORLD CUP BETTING TIPS

Things didn't exactly go according to plan for Spain in their opening fixture of the 2010 World Cup. Coming in as tournament favourites is a bit more pressure than the Spanish side are used to and a determined display from Switzerland saw them crash to a shock defeat. 

They remain big favourites to get the job done against Honduras though and you'll find that popular UK bookmaker Ladbrokes has listed them at a slim 1.12 price tag to beat the CONCACAF side. 
Honduras are priced at a lengthy 21.0 and that's one of the longest odds I've seen pre-match in the group stage. The draw rewards at 8.0 and if Spain have another horror show then that could be the way to go. 
The favoured correct score outcome is a 2-0 result to Spain, which trades at a 6.5 price. You can back a 1-0 result to the Spanish at 6.5 while a 3-0 result rewards at 6.0. A 4-0 victory is priced at 8.0 while 5-0 is a mere 13.0. 
Unsurprisingly, David Villa and Fernando Torres are both listed at odds-on to score in this match and Villa is the favoured striker at a 1.5 margin with Torres at 1.8. 
Cesc Fabregas can be backed at 3.0 to score a goal at any time while Andres Iniesta is available at 3.25 and Xavi is priced at 4.5. Xabi Alonso can be backed at 4.5.
Spain are a very short 1.53 to win the match to nil while Honduras are 21.0 to do so. David Villa to score a hat-trick is priced at a slim 11.0 while Torres is priced at 13.0. 
Spain on a (-1.0) handicap is listed at a mere 1.36 while a (-2.0) margin is priced at 2.1. A (-3.0) handicap trades at 3.5 while (-4.0) is listed at a lengthy 7.0. 
Personally, I think Spain should get things back on track here. Honduras don't really look all that solid defensively and I think that Spain should get the job done, although it could be nervy if they haven't scored after 30 minutes. Save your bets on Honduras for the in-play wagering.
