South Korea v Nigeria

Fancy a risk free bet on this game?

It's pretty close between the two teams with the bookies split over who should be favourite. Personally after watching both teams I'm plumping for a South Korea win as I thought the Nigerians have looked pretty poor in both games, as have most African sides. But no matter what outcome you fancy you can minimise risks by backing online with William Hill.

I know many of you may already be signed up with Hills but if you have not I suggest you do so now as they have a great offer on at the moment.

Bet £10 and they will give you £30 worth of free bets.

So stick a tenner on and if you lose you have still profited by £30. Thats not to be sniffed at, just click below to take a look (don't forget to use the promo code WORLD30 when signing up).

Greece v Nigeria

Greece v Nigeria
World Cup 2010
June 17, 2010 - Kick off 15.00 GMT

After the Super Eagles' opening match against Argentina, we know that the team have a very good goalkeeper in Vincent Enyeama. The Hapoel Tel Aviv stopped denied Lionel Messi a hat-trick of goals and Nigeria will be confident of keeping a clean sheet against Greece. They will also be optimistic of scoring one or two at the other end, especially as they improved as the game wore on at Ellis Park.

Obafemi Martins might get the chance to start alongside Yakubu and surely Lars Lagerback should field the talented Peter Odemwingie.

While Nigeria were reasonably impressive in their opener, the same cannot be said for the Greeks, who look to be a very ordinary team. The South Koreans comfortably beat Otto Rehhagel's men, who laboured throughout the contest and it must have been worrying for the manager to see captain and talisman Giorgios Karagounis labour to the extent that he was withdrawn at half-time. It remains a fact that Greece have never won a World Cup match and this is likely to continue after this match at Bloemfontein.

Prediction: Back Nigeria @ best price 6/5 with STAN JAMES

Day 2.......

Well its day two in South Africa and it is Englands turn to take centre stage (hence the early posting - the pub is calling). If I wasn't English I would be tempted to back the draw @ 10/3 with BETFRED as the Yanks are not that bad a side, just ask Spain whose long unbeaten run was ended by the Americans. Plus we have the unfortunate scenario of a midfield pairing of Gerrard & Lampard rearing its ugly head, but as I said, patriotism rules out a serious punt on the match so I'm giving it a bodyswerve (sort of).

So todays suggested bet is a treble, stick England in (yeah I'm going against all rules of betting here, don't let the heart rule the head etc.) and you have to side with Argentina who are surely good enough to see of the Nigerians. Meanwhile I think Greece have enough in there locker to see off a poor South Korean side whose enduring inability to defend set-pieces gives them an air of vulnerability at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium today. The treble pays just over 6/1 with STAN JAMES.

And don't forget, in international football there is a fine line between success & failure, we like to call it Hadrians Wall.

The next Guaranteed profit bet will be on the South Africa v Uruguay game on June 16th and will be posted by Monday morning
