Chile v Honduras

Chile, who are fancied to put up some good performances at the World Cup 2010, face probably their easiest group game here against World Cup outsiders Honduras. Chile have the top scorer from the South American qualifying section in their team but Honduras probably have a few more players that you will have heard of than you think, so things might not be too clear cut in this opening match from Group H.

The Asian Handicap is an interesting bet as it usually gives one team a lead that should be enough to cancel out any superiority the favourites for the game have.

BACK CHILE -0.75

Chile are unlikely to win this by a huge score but should be able to pick up a victory by a two goal margin and this makes the odds on Chile -0.75 in the asian handicap look very reasonable at a shade odds on. Chile have goals in their team and although Honduras are likely to play quite defensive, by the end of the match this bet should be a winner.

BACK CHILE TO WIN 2-0 AND TO WIN TO NIL

Chile were high scorers in qualifying with thirty two goals in eighteen games and although they conceded quite a lot too (22 in 18) they are unlikely to meet the same level of scoring power against Honduras. Chile are likely to win this match to nil and that is worth a bet whilst it could be best to ignore the overs/unders betting as Chile are most likely to win this match 2-0 or 3-0, so it could go either way, but with a low scoring World Cup so far and a defensive Honduras on the agenda Chile 2-0 just gets the shout.

Chile v Honduras Team News

Chile striker Humberto Suazo was the top scorer in the South American qualifying section and scored more than twice the goals of Chile's next best scorer, an injury to their star striker could be a massive problem were it to happen. Honduras will look to players such as Wilson Palacios to make them much stronger in the middle of the pitch in tough games like this so if he was to pick up an injury Honduras would have big problems.

BACK HUMBERTO SUAZO TO SCORE FIRST AND AT ANYTIME

Humberto Suazo was in great goalscoring form in Chile's qualifying campaign, he scored more than the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Fabiano with ten goals and he also scored more than twice what Chile's next best goalscorer came up with. If anyone is going to get on the scoresheet for Chile it should be Suazo and he looks likely to score the first goal as well as at anytime and he should be the subject of all goalscorer bets on this game.

This game will probably only be a draw at half time if it is 0-0 and with 0-0 looking an unlikely half time score the best bet in this market is surely Chile to be winning at both half time and full time.

Chile v Honduras Best Bet

Chile will be heavily reliant on top scorer Humberto Suazo's goals if they are to be a force to be reckoned with at this World Cup and the best first goalscorer bets are usualy against teams who are very unlikely to chip in with any goals. Suazo scored ten goals in qualifying, their next best scorer was Matias Fernandez with four and that difference in goalscoring means Suazo is the best bet of the game in the first goalscorer betting.
