After an exhilarating round of 2010 World Cup quarterfinals, soccer betting fans have now seen the most prestigious football tournament wear down to just four teams.
On Saturday morning, Germany exposed Argentina’s defense en route to a 4-0 win while Spain survived a matchup with Paraguay. The lines are set for the semifinals, so let’s take an early look at the two contests that will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Uruguay vs Netherlands
World Cup Football Betting Odds: Netherlands -232
Uruguay has proven to be a very sturdy defensive team but the problem is that is nothing that the Netherlands haven’t seen before. They’ve already topped defensive-minded teams like Denmark and they broke through Brazil’s defense, which was supposed to be one of the best. So Uruguay’s tight defense is in for a test. But so is their offense. One of their star strikers, Luis Suarez, will be suspended for this match for his handball-red card he received for his game-saving stop against Ghana.Uruguay might find the going tough without him.
Overall, no one is playing better than the Netherlands right now and they’ll advance through to the finals.
SportsBetting.com Pick: Netherlands
World Cup Football Betting Odds: Spain +132
Strap yourself in for a dandy here.
Spain, who is the defending Euro 2008 champs, survived a wild game against Paraguay and will now take on the Germans. Germany was supposed to be too young, too inexperienced and too raw, but they have simply been too overpowering for anyone to handle. They have outscored opponents 8-1 in their last two games and those two opponents have been Argentina and England. Spain will have to be on their best defensively to get the job done.
Germany is clicking right now and while Spain is playing well, they’ll need more than just David Villa to advance. If Fernando Torres can wake up, Spain should advance but if not, it could very well be an orange-black final.
SportsBetting.com Pick: Germany +162
