Slovakia, Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand World Cup odds were available at SBG Global.
Italy was a -220 favorite vs. Slovakia while the underdog would pay out US$65 for every US$10 bet and the draw would pay out US$27.
Italy is expected to win on Thursday against Slovakia. Italy has not played that badly in their first two matches but they simply haven't gotten much scoring. Paraguay and New Zealand only scored one goal each against Italy but the Italians couldn't create much offense. What may help Italy on Thursday is the addition of playmaker Andrea Pirlo who missed the first two matches of the World Cup betting due to injury. He would definitely help Italy's offense and he might create room for striker Alberto Gilardino. Italy head coach Marcello Lippi said that his team can play much better than they have so far.
Slovakia is in last place in Group F but they are not without a chance. If they can find a way to upset Italy they would just need Paraguay to beat New Zealand to advance. Slovakia should have beaten New Zealand in their opener but gave up a goal in injury time that cost them the win. They then played very poorly in a 2-0 loss to Paraguay.
And Paraguay comes into their matchup against New Zealand as a -230 favorite with New Zealand paying out US$65 for every US$10 bet with a win. The draw would pay 3/1 odds.
