In their beginning competition on Friday, France is favored in World Cup betting versus Uruguay.
France is -110 in World Cup odds on the three-way soccer line with Uruguay at 300 and the Draw at 220. The total on the competition is 2 under. This competition will share the spotlight on Friday since South Africa opens up the 2010 World Cup by hosting Mexico.
This beginning competition against Uruguay will be an essential one for both the French and Uruguay teams, particularly for France who is listed by World Cup betting odds as the preference to win Group A. France is the high profile squad but they really haven’t performed well recently. Their previous friendly was an uninspiring 1- shutout loss to China several days ago. France wasn’t much better in a friendly against Tunisia as they performed to a 1-1 draw. Scoring only one goal in 2 friendlies against China and Tunisia is not the way to be coming into a World Cup.
France needed a missed call in their competition against Ireland only to make it to the World Cup, which they only scarcely qualified for. They did take the World Cup in 1998 but that was on their home soil while this past year they lost in the title competition to Italy in a penalty shootout. This year’s France squad is definitely not at the level of previous year’s team, however they do have some big names and some talent. Head coach Raymond Domenech who will leave after the tournament, making this World Cup the previous one for him. The key for France in this beginning competition against Uruguay could be the health of defender William Gallas who has a calf injury. He is probably not ready for the opening game since he has not performed since March.
Uruguay is probably not gaining the respect in this competition that they ought to have in World Cup betting. They are ranked in the Top 20 in the world and they’re one of just 5 teams that have won more than one World Cups. Uruguay won when they had to against Costa Rica, however it was a struggle to qualify. Uruguay can make goals as they have Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez and Sebastian Abreu. Uruguay definitely is able to defeat an overrated France squad in this beginning match from Group A in World Cup odds.
