4 Major Underdogs in 2010 world cup Gambling

09 Jun

There a lot of squads that are big underdogs in World Cup gambling but four really jump out.

New Zealand, North Korea (Korea DPR) and Honduras are all 500-1 in World Cup odds. Algeria is 200-1 but considering they might not get a point in Group C, you can chuck them in as a huge longshot.

World Cup gambling shows Japan and South Korea with higher odds than Algeria but all those squads at the least has a chance to score a point. New Zealand, Honduras, North Korea and Algeria probably won’t even get a point in the World Cup. North Korea is in serious trouble as they play in the toughest group. They’ll be fortunate to actually stay competitive in Group G. They are likely to get beat by Brazil, Portugal and Ivory Coast. The question isn’t if North Korea can get a point; the question may possibly be if they actually score a goal. Out of all the teams in the 2010 World Cup, North Korea seems to be the weakest.

Honduras seems to have very little chance in their group. They need to compete against Spain, Chile and Switzerland in Group H. It’ll come down to the match vs Switzerland to see if they can get a point, since they’re improbable to get anything vs Spain or Chile. It is only the second World Cup in history for Honduras. The entire team looked weak in a 2-2 draw in a friendly game vs Belarus recently.

New Zealand looks in over their head in World Cup odds but at least they play in a group that looks to be low scoring. Group F favors Italy but the Italian team isn’t full of powerful scorers. This is Slovakia’s first World Cup and Paraguay won’t score a ton of goals. New Zealand isn’t very good nonetheless they may be lucky and squeak out a goal in Group F and if they can, they may choose who advances.

Algeria competes in a challenging group with England and the United States nonetheless they are at least a team with a chance. The United States has been challenging and England is one of the favorites in World Cup gambling, but Algeria can at least be competitive vs both squads. It is very improbable they will advance from Group C nonetheless they may steal a point or two.
