World Cup Wagering Preferred Chile vs Honduras
Chile was anticipated to rout Honduras in World Cup soccer betting last Wednesday in a competition that was broadcast on ESPN.
Chile competes in a group that features Spain but they’ve got the capacity to advance from Group H since they are capable of beating Honduras and Switzerland in World Cup odds at the sportsbooks.
World Cup betting probabilities showed Chile as a one-goal fave on Wednesday versus Honduras with a total of 2.5 under. The three-way line has Chile at -170, Honduras at +480 and the draw at +260. This will be the eighth World Cup appearance for Chile. This squad is coached by Marcelo Bielsa and he has led the team to their 1st World Cup in 12 years. He will have his team all set and ready to strike from the second the game starts. Humberto Suazo, who had 10 goals in 18 matches, was Chile’s leading scorer in qualifying. Matias Fernandez and Alexis Sanchez are various other talented participants on the team. Chile is going below the radar with plenty of folks but they’ve got some capability and may even give Spain a run for the leading spot in Group H.
Honduras is making only their second showing in the World Cup and it looks to be a short one. They do not compare well with Chile or Spain so their only shot of receiving a point looks to be the competition with Switzerland. It seems unlikely they can match the scoring ability of Chile or Spain. Honduras will require David Suazo to play very well for them to have any opportunity. Carlos Pavon was the top scorer in qualifying as he had seven goals. Honduras is effectively coached by Reinaldo Rueda but it doesn’t look as though they have the skill to compete with either Spain or Chile. Suazo and Pavon are good competitors and Wilson Palacios is a excellent midfielder and Georgie Welcome can score the occasional goal but overall, Honduras basically doesn’t have the depth of many other squads in the World Cup.
Winning this game in World Cup odds shouldn’t have been too tricky for Chile as long as they do not disregard Honduras. That shouldn’t have been an issue since this is their first game in Group H.
Chile’s Jean Beausejour scored the team’s sole point when they defeated Honduras 1-0 in Wednesday’s match. It was the first World Cup win for Chile since they hosted the tournament in 1962. The winning point came in the 34th minute of the game.
In spite of their win, Chile’s coach Marcelo Bielsa was unfulfilled. He really believed that the team could have made more goals vs Honduras. In fact, repeatedly during the match the team came close to doubling its lead with another goal. Nevertheless Honduras, to their credit, had a pretty extraordinary goalie in Noel Valladares who made more than 1 great save. However Honduras’ only genuine possibility came from a free kick in first-half injury time by midfielder Ramon Nunez. That was tipped over the net by Chile goaltender Claudio Bravo.
