Serbia v Australia

Serbia gained a much needed win against Germany and whilst Australia could only get a draw against Ghana but that still gives them the chance of qualifying if they can win this game.

Australia have had a player sent off in both of their games whilst Serbia have given away penalties for handballs in both of their games so both teams need to improve their discipline for this crucial match.

Serbia v Australia Match Odds

Match betting is a massively popular market and the first market most punters choose to look at as your decision in this market is likely to impact all other bets you place on the game.

BACK THE DRAW

Serbia are favourites for this vital Group D game but it is not exactly cut and dry in the Serbia v Australia match odds and the bookies do still give Australia a good chance. The outfield players for Serbia have enough quality to win this game but the Serbia goalkeeper is a big worry for Serbia backers and with this game expected to be tight, one mistake could make all the difference to the results, which makes the draw look the best bet in this fixture.

Serbia v Australia Asian Handicap Odds

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 AUSTRALIA +0.5

Australia are probably fairly unlikely winners of this match but it is not to have that result on your side if backing Australia in the +0.5 asian handicap. We also have the draw running for us with this bet and between the two results there is a good chance of this bet being landed at nice odds.

Serbia v Australia Goals Odds

Take a look at recent results for the two sides to help decide what the best bets are in the over/under betting and also the correct score market.

BACK 1-1 AND UNDER 2.5 GOALS

This game is likely to contain some goals but don't expect too many. Australia conceded just one goal eight games in the their final qualifying group for the World Cup which means if they do concede, they are unlikely to concede more than one. Serbia had many quite high scoring games in qualifying so it is not difficult to see them scoring and conceding in this game. They will probably only score and concede one goal so backing under 2.5 goals is a decent enough bet but going for 1-1 should provide a just as good bet at much bigger odds.

Serbia v Australia Player Odds

Some of the most fun markets to bet on are the player markets, such as first goalscorer and anytime goalscorer. They are usually relatively big odds and can give plenty of reward if you pick correctly.

Serbia v Australia Team News

Serbia will look to their stars such as Premiership defenders Nemanja Vidic, Branislav Ivanovic, veteran midfielder Dejan Stankovic and massive goalscorer Nikola Zigic to all be fit and win them this match, and possibly a place in the second round. Australia will be heavily reliant on players such as Tim Cahill to get them vital goals in game like this so is return from suspension gives them a big boost, although Harry Kewell is suspended after his sending off against Germany.

BACK MILAN JOVANOVIC AND TIM CAHILL TO SCORE ANYTIME

With both teams likely to score it may be best to back an anytime goalscorer from both sides, there is a good chance at least one of them will come in. The most likely Serbia goalscorer has to be Milan Jovanovic who scored five goals in qualifying for the World Cup. Australia have Tim Cahill who chips in with many goals and he remains the most likely goalscorer in this match for the Aussies. Both Milan Jovanovic and Tim Cahill are good anytime goalscorer bets.

Serbia v Australia Half Time Odds

The latest tips that include the half time result in them, some of the most popular bets here are half time result and half time/full time.

BACK DRAW / DRAW IN THE HALF TIME / FULL TIME BETTING

This game has a decent chance of ending a draw and if the game is 0-0 obviously it will also be a draw at half time. Even if the game is 1-1 there is a good chance both the goals will come in the same half so the odds on draw / draw in this match seem very generous with two fairly evenly matched teams going head to head.

Serbia v Australia Best Bet

BACK 1-1 DRAW

The draw looks a good bet in this match but the odds on a 1-1 draw are much bigger despite 1-1 being by far the likeliest of the correct scores if the game does indeed turn out to be a draw. It is a bit more risk having this as the best bet rather than the draw but the odds on 1-1 make it worthwhile.
