South Africa vs Uruguay World Cup betting

South Africa continue their World Cup with perhaps their most winnable game from all three, their opponents are Uruguay. Uruguay qualified as the worst South American team, which is hardly an insult but does show they are not in the class of the likes of Paraguay and Chile who were both well ahead of them.

South Africa have a huge advantage in playing at home, not only are conditions in their favour but they also should get more than their fair share of refereeing decisions and it is not hard to see them picking up all three points here despite the fact that Uruguay are pretty strong favourites to win the game.

South Africa vs Uruguay odds and tips

South Africa are a great price to win this match, they might not win it but their chances of winning are much bigger than the odds suggest and that is the hallmark of a great value bet. It should be very close though, South Africa have had many low scoring friendlies leading up to the World Cup and on that evidence most of their games will be lowscoring fixtures with the odd goal. With that in mind it will be best to back them to win the game 1-0, which due to the odds on South Africa winning, is another great value bet. This means under 2.5 goals is a very likely winning bet and that is another to consider when betting on this game.

South Africa have a couple of players capable of scoring but against decent opposition it should pay to go with probably their most talented player, Everton's Steven Pienaar. He will be a good price to score the first goal and with a low scoring game likely it is probably best to only bet on first scorer, rather than anytime scorer as well. It would be unfair not to mention Uruguay's top scorer Diego Forlan, he will of course be a threat and those who are less risk adverse may wish to have a saver on the Atletico Madrid striker.
