WORLD CUP 2010 PREDICTIONS AND LATEST ODDS FOR TUESDAYS ACTION

We've got two really solid-looking matches ahead of us in World Cup action on Tuesday and we've also got a fixture between two of the smaller clubs that could actually turn out to be a real barner-burner thanks to the stalemate in today's face-off between Paraguay and Italy. 

While it would have been even more interesting if Paraguay got all the points on Monday, Group F is still very much for grabs. 
Slovakia vs New Zealand
This one looks pretty one-sided at the outset, but New Zealand can make things happen if they stay organized and take advantage of the few opportunities they will likely carve out. You'll find Slovakia listed as the 4/9 favourites while New Zealand are priced at 7/1. The draw trades at 3/1 and that would be great news for Italy and Paraguay if this group was all level after the first match. 
Chris Killen is favoured to score for New Zealand and he's trading at 4/1 to get a goal at any point in the match. That's not a bad bet, you know. Killen is 11/2 to score first for New Zealand and he's at 4/1 to be booked at any point in the match. 
Ivory Coast vs Portugal
We're still up in the air whether Didier Drogba will be fit to play this match, but Portugal are considered the 5/4 favourites ahead of a side that was considered to be the biggest chance Africa had of getting a World Cup victory on home soil. Ivory Coast are listed at 23/10 while the draw trades at 11/5. 
Cristiano Ronaldo's odds to score against Ivory Coast are at 6/5 anytime with Ronaldo at 5/1 to score from outside the box looking like a promising selection. That's a nice bet on Ronaldo to have a massive match. You get the feeling he'll be wanting to put his stamp on this World Cup. 
Keep your eye on Salomon Kalou to score for Cote D'Ivoire at 9/4. 
Brazil vs North Korea
This match has looked like one of the picks from the Group Stages since the fixtures were initially announced. Kim Jong Il's men will be attempting to pull off one of the biggest upsets of all time and are priced at 25/1 to win this match- that's the longest odds of any side in the Group Stages. 
Brazil boast a pile of first-class attacking talent and I've got my eye on Luis Fabiano to score at any point in the match. He's priced at 1/2 to score a goal at any time and that's almost a license to print money at that price. Robinho is at 8/11 anytime while Kaka is priced at 8/13. Nilmar is at 4/7 while Grafite trades at 8/11. 
North Korea will be looking to Hong Yong Jo and An Chol-Hyok, who are both priced at 5/1 to score at any time. Jong Tae-Se is also trading at 5/1. 
It would really be something if North Korea came out and gave Brazil a game.
