Uruguay vs Netherlands 2010 World Cup Semifinals Odds & World Cup Predictions: The Netherlands and Uruguay will get together on the pitch in Cape Town, Tuesday (July 6) in what is an unpredictable match-up of sides in 2010 FIFA World Cup play. And predicting a victor in this one is even more unpredictable; especially the way this tournament has played out.
Oddsmakers at Bodog.com list the Netherlands as solid odds (-165) favorites for a SU moneyline victory with a 2 1/2- total. Uruguay backers will have a big payday with a win getting +550 odds as an underdog. Those wagering for a Draw after regulation play are getting +250 odds.
Netherlands looks like a team of destiny advancing to set up a second-successive all-European final, leaving egg on the face of those writing off the continent only a week ago.
Holland is on a terrific run. Having won all their qualifying matches to get to South Africa they won all three group games there and two knockout matches. The last of them, 2-1 against Brazil after weathering an early onslaught, has left them buzzing and feeling unbeatable.
With four-goal midfielder Wesley Sneijder pulling the strings, they look like a well-balanced side, with goals conveniently coming from a wide variety of sources. Arjen Robben, whether by scoring, creating, or drawing fouls, is their key weapon and the winger can expect some very close attention from Uruguay's uncompromising defenders.
Uruguay needs to be at its absolute best to have any chance but suspensions and injury have hit them hard. Striker Luis Suarez, who spent the last three years terrorising Dutch defences for Ajax Amsterdam, is banned for his match-saving goalline handball against Ghana, as is defender Jorge Fucile, who earned a second yellow card against Ghana.
Uruguay has had a nice run in World Cup play but gamblers should look to the Dutch (-165) for a winning side. A Uruguay win would be a shocking upset.
