Spain vs Holland betting preview
World Cup Final - Spain vs Holland
So Spain and Holland will contest the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa but will it be a Spanish year or an Oranje one? Whatever happens in Sunday’s Soccer City final we’ll have a new winner of the most coveted trophy in world football. The Netherlands will be hoping it’s a case of third time lucky after falling at the final hurdle in ’74 and ‘78 while Del Bosque’s Spain are bidding to become only the second European champions to be crowned world champions. Arguably the best two sides never to hold aloft the famous Jules Rimet trophy finally have the chance to break their eagerly anticipated ducks, but which will rise to the challenge?
Best odds for Spain vs Holland:
Spain - 6/5 Willaim Hill
Draw - 11/4 Betfred
Holland -
12/5 Stan James
Van Marwijk’s side have won all their games on route to the final dispatching of Brazil in the process and Coral go 11/4 they complete a clean sweep of victories and triumph in Johannesburg’s showcase final. Paddy Power offers best priced odds for them to lift the trophy at 6/4 which may be the best option should extra time and/or penalties be forced. Spain are sure to prove their the sternest test yet but for a country that has given us Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit, Marco Van Basten and Dennis Bergkamp, wouldn’t it be deserving of their current crop of players to go down in world footballing folklore.
Spain shrugged off their opening game disappointment recording knockout victories over Portugal and Paraguay before seeing off the Germans, ironically all by the same one nil scoreline. Bet 365 chalk up the best priced odds for a Spain win at 11/10 which seems very generous indeed considering they are are as short as 4/7 (Stan James) to lift the trophy. Similarly, the correct score market appeals with Spain seeming to have a habit of winning
by a goal to nil. Ladbrokes offers 11/2 they win again by this scoreline and this could appeal should we have a low scoring final as some might expect.
If we’re to see an extra thirty minutes football at Soccer City then the draw is currently trading at 12/5 with Betfred. However neither side has needed extra time in the tournament and expect the winners to be crowned in ninety minutes play.
There are several bets that catch the eye as we prepare to say farewell to South Africa and the 2010 World Cup. Spain’s shut-outs of late make leading claims for them to keep a clean sheet and win Sunday’s final and Paddy Power offers 21/10 that this so happens. The half time market must not be overlooked either, the Irish bookmakers again go 6/4 the first forty-five ends goalless. And if you think this final will be flawed with a controversial dismissal as in Berlin four years ago, a sending off in the match is available at 3/1 with Victor Chandler.
