World Cup: Bet on England vs Slovenia Odds

World Cup: Bet on England vs Slovenia Odds

One of the most exciting brackets in 2010 will close on Wednesday must win matches for everyone. Slovenia vs England will start the Group C final opening round games at 10:00am EST (13:30) from Nelson Mandela Bay while the USA vs Algeria match will also kick-off at the same time from Tshwayne. Online bookmakers have England -250 money line favorites in FIFA World Cup betting odds vs Slovenia +650 while a draw would return +330. The Three Lions are also -1 goal (-160) favorites in point-spread soccer odds vs the Zmajceki +1 goal (+125) with the over/under total sitting at 2.5 UNDER (-130).

England sits tied with the USA for runners-up of the Group C bracket with 2-points but the Americans hold a slight 2-goal difference. If England can finally put in a performance they can be proud of and the USA fall behind vs Algeria but can’t recover, England could find themselves reaching the round of 16. It won’t be easy though as Slovenia slapped the USA with two early goals before giving them right back in the second half and sit alone on top of the Group C bracket with 4-points. “I hope that after playing a big performance the minds of the players will be free and we can play like the England that I know,” said manager Fabio Capello this week.

Slovenia has been a surprising up and down team at the finals in South Africa defeating Algeria 1-0 and drawing with the USA 2-2 in one of the most controversial games of the tournament as a late third goal by the Americans was disallowed. Some could say that Slovenia is “lucky” to be sitting in the position they are in but manager Matjaz Kek knows that in order to stay there they will need a win on Wednesday. “I don’t care how they played in the first two matches,” Kek said this week. “I believe we’re facing the toughest match for Slovenia under my management.”

If England doesn’t win this match they might as well be grouped together with France in the losers bracket. The French squad was a mess before they even got to South Africa based on a uncalled hand ball so they have an excuse. England on the other hand were one of the favorites to win the tournament in World Cup odds and the Group C bracket but for the best of the Premier league to have only managed 2-draws and one goal… well they frankly don’t have an excuse. Unless Slovenia can pull off another stunner, I expect to see the Three Lions win 2-0 or 2-1 putting them into contention to qualify.
