Who to Play for Monday?s Games

Italy -200 vs. Australia +600

The first matchup for Monday is Italy against Australia. At first glance the situation may seem dire for the Socceroos. The books have the odds as Italy -200 while Australia +600 seems like a stretch. Futhermore, Australia has suffered minor injuires to key players. Italy boasts three World Cup victories, while this is only Australia?s second appearance in the World Cup. Despite all of this, Australia +600 is the key play. It maximizes returns while minimizing the risk involved. Guus Hiddink in 2002 lead an undersized Korea Republic squad to the semis with no notable players represented in any major club teams. Australia on the other hand has many players represented in the Serie A and elsewhere. The Australians know and are very familiar with Italian football. Hiddink is also familiar with the Italian squad, as in 2002 the Korea Republic successfully defeated the Italian squad. Look for Hiddink to further improve his record over the Italians. Australia +600 is the winning play.



Switzerland +150 vs. Urkaine +200

Switzerland a surprise advance from Group G faces superstar Shevchenko and the Ukraine squad. Neither team offers enough value, but both teams ability to score along with missing defensive pieces all point to an winning play on the Over 2.5 +130. Ukraine is missing both Rusol and Sviderskyi due to carded suspensions. Switzerland also is missing Senderos, a key player who?s height and defensive play has managed to keep Switzerland from conceding a goal during this World Cup tourney. All these missing defensive pieces backed with plenty of finishing talent ensures the winning play is Over 2.5 +130.
