Group G – Brazil’s Chances

The 2010 World Cup Group G is a loaded group that should bring some exciting tournament play. Group G contains record all-time winner Brazil, Portugal, Cote d’Ivoire and North Korea. Brazil has won a record 5 World Cups and is the current holder of the Copa America and FIFA Confederation Cups. Portugal is always a contender and Ronaldo brings excitement to the game every time he steps onto the field.

The favorites are Brazil and Portugal, however, Cote d’Ivoire gave an impressive performance in 2006 and should not be taken lightly. That being said, Cote d’Ivoire and North Korea are still generally viewed as the underdogs in this group of teams. Many were stunned to even see North Korea qualify for the South African tournament and they have their work cut out for them.

There are many World Cup betting opportunities this year. Players can find great odds at sites like Bodog, BetUS, Sportsbook.com, Ladbrokes and more. The Brazil versus North Korea offers odds of -1000 for Brazil and +1800 for North Korea at BetUS. The draw is +700. Bet365 offers Brazil -900 and North Korea at +1800 with a draw of +800.

The World Cup – Brazil

If anyone has a chance of advancing out of the group stages and onto the final rounds of the World Cup it is Brazil. They have a powerhouse team holding two titles and a lot of World Cup experience. Players such as Maicon, Fabiano, Robinho and Cesar make this Brazilian team quite dangerous.

Ladbrokes offers options for players to bet on who is going to win each group, the overall tournament and which player will score the most goals. Brazil offers 4/6 odds that they will win group G. Ladbrokes also offers 5/1 odds that they win the whole tournament and 9/1 that Fabiano scores the most goals.
