World Cup 2010 betting - Honduras vs Chile

Chile are favourites at 3/4 bet £40 to win £30 profit) with Canbet to beat Honduras as both sides open their World Cup campaigns in Group H. The underdogs are generally available at 5/1, while Boylesports offer 5/1 that we see another draw today.

Chile are in good form going into the game after winning eight of their last ten matches, last time out beating Israel 3-0. Honduras, however, have not won in five attempts since beating the USA in January, most recently losing 3-0 to Romania.

The bookmakers believe Chile will be too strong for their opponents today and Boylesports have made 1-0 the favourite score at 5/1, with Canbet best price on 2-0, offering 13/2. The same firm also offer 7/1 on a 1-1 draw and Sportingbet go as long as 9/1 on 0-0. This does not seem too unlikely in such as goal-shy tournament.

Humberto Suazo has been made favourite to open the scoring today for Chile at 9/2 and the Zaragoza forward has an impressive record of 18 goals in 42 caps. He is followed in the betting at 6/1(Stan James) by Udinese`s Alexis Sanchez, who will be hoping to do better at the World Cup than he did in Serie A, where he managed only five goals in 32 appearances, 25 of themstarts.

For Honduras, David Suazo is seen as the biggest threat, at 10/1 with Extrabet and Stan James. Injury disrupted his season in Serie A but the 30 year-old has always performed for his country and he has 16 goals in 54 caps. The vastly experienced Carlos Pavon, who will be earning his 103rd cap tonight, is 12/1 on Betchronicle. He may be 36, but Pavon hit seven goals in nine qualifying games and seems to be in the form of his life.

Chile are 2/1 on Betfair to lead today at both half-time and full-time and 7/2 with Canbet to win after drawing at the break The bookmakers generally offer 5/1 that both halves are drawn, while Honduras are 12/1 with Victor Chandler to be in front at both the interval and the final whistle.

Both of today`s teams are definite outsiders for the World Cup but Chile are seen as the better by far, priced at 80/1, with Honduras as long as 1000/1.
