The second quarterfinal scheduled, and the second game tonight, sees Uruguay against Ghana – two sides who have overcome the odds to get this far, as they play at the Soccer City Stadium for a place in the 2010 World Cup semifinals.
Our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is to go with the odds and back a Uruguay 2-1 win at $9.50, as the monumental fixture could overawe the Africans.
Kicking off at 8.30pm tonight locally, the fixture will start at 4.30am AEST tomorrow morning, and so SBS will start their coverage from 4am with lead up program content.
The odds are currently implying a closely run game, with Uruguay just claiming the title of favourite at $2.10 with SportsBet.
Claiming in-form strikers Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez – at $4.50 and $5.50 respectively to score first – helping them to three consecutive victories in South Africa, Uruguay will be hoping they can deliver once again tonight.
Ghana, the remaining African nation still vying for the crown and the youngest to have competed at South Africa, are at $3.75 for the win, and will the pressure felt from an entire continent push them on to win? Or will they crumble?
It looks as though Kevin Prince Boateng could be out for the fixture, with the striker worsening a hamstring injury recently and so Asamoah Gyan – the man who scored the winner over the USA will have to step up and is at $7 to score first.
Our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is to go with the odds and back a Uruguay 2-1 win at $9.50, as the monumental fixture could overawe the Africans, and by the time they compose themselves, may well be too late.
