USA v Algeria 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 USA TO BEAT ALGERIA

The bookies don't seem to be giving USA as much credit or respect as they deserve and this means they have been available at some generous World Cup odds so far in the competition. This is likely to be their most winnable game yet they are only a shade odds on which makes them look great value to beat the Algerians. Algeria are not underestimated though, they will be a tough side to beat but USA should hold the edge in this final set of matches in World Cup Group C.

USA v Algeria 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 USA -0.5

USA look to be a very good bet in the asian handicap -0.5 at the current odds. This game may be very tight but USA should win by more than this margin which makes the odds available on the bet look far too big. Best to get on this bet early before the bookies can change their odds.

USA v Algeria 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.

Algeria Recent Competitive Results

BACK USA 1-0 AND UNDER 2.5 GOALS

From February 2009 until the beginning of March 2010 Algeria played seventeen matches and twelve of those included at least one clean sheet. This could be an important stat with USA also looking a solid team at the World Cup so expect a low scoring game, under 2.5 goals appeals as the first good bet. In the correct score market 1-0 should appeal, Algeria have conceded just one goal in two games and should continue to give little away whilst USA have looked good going forward so they can get one goal.

USA v Algeria 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.

USA v Algeria Team News

USA will probably need to win against Algeria to guarantee reaching the knockout phase, this means their top players such as Tim Howard, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidore will all need to be available for the final group match of their 2010 World Cup. For Algeria skipper Yazid Mansouri and veteran goalscorer Rafik Saifi will be key players and are expected to be in the line up.

BACK CLINT DEMPSEY TO SCORE FIRST

Algeria's main goal threat will probably be 35 year old striker Rafik Saifi, who plays his football in France, he has a goal record of one in three and if Algeria score then he is likely to be the man. However, we think USA will keep a clean sheet in this match and the players to look at as goalscorers are probably their top scorers in qualifying which were Jozy Altidore as well Fulham midfielder Clint Dempsey. Dempsey is always trying to get goals from midfield and he looks a good price to score the first goal having already scored past England and gone close against Slovenia.

USA v Algeria 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 / USA IN THE HALF TIME / FULL TIME BETTING

We know how tough Algeria are to break down and they are yet to concede a goal in the first half at the World Cup. USA's only first half at the World Cup so far has been a massive goalkeeping error from Rob Green so this game looks highly likely to go in at half time all square. Hopefully for us USA will be able to score a winning goal in the second half of the game making this a winning bet.

USA v Algeria Best Bet

BACK USA TO BEAT ALGERIA

USA look a better team than Algeria and presuming they can get in front against the tough Algerians they should have few problems holding on to thier lead. It is likely to be a tough game for USA but that is more than reflected in their odds and the chances of USA winning seem much better than the odds suggest, making this a good value call.
