2010 FIFA World Cup Odds Group H: As World Cup 2010 South Africa is set to begin (June 11), Spain is set to enter the tournament as favorite, according to oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com. Listed at +400 odds on the Sportsbook World Cup 2010 betting board , Spain is expected to have little trouble navigating through its opening round Group H schedule. Sharing the group with Spain are lightweights Switzerland and Honduras as well as Chile, a team that's getting some respect from pundits.
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque was recently quoted," We've got good players and a well-oiled team, but there are some very strong sides out there. Our aim is to challenge for the next World Cup but we know how difficult it is.
If Spain is to be challenged within Group H, that challenge will more than likely come from Chile, lined at +6600 on the Sportsbook World Cup 2010 board. Following a 12 year absence from World Cup finals, Chile has a team that has potential to advance deep into the tournament.
Coached by Argentinian Marcelo Bielsa, Chile qualified into the finals with ease, qualifying only one point behind Brazil in the continental qualifying group. The clincher came with a 4-2 result over Columbia last October. Leading the team are Matias Fernandez, Alexis Sanchez and Humberto Suazo, all solid professionals.
Switzerland and Honduras aren't expected to make much noise in the Group nor are they expected to advance to later rounds. The fact is, neither team has fielded a team of championship caliber. Sportsbook.com has the Swiss lined at +25,000 and Honduras at +100,000.
