The competition at the 2010 World Cup continues to heat up as teams get closer and closer to the end of the group stage of the tournament. A number of matches will take place today including Australia vs. Serbia, Ghana vs. Germany, the US vs. Algeria, and Slovenia vs England. The odds are out about which teams will be triumphant at this days competition and for those who enjoy sportsbetting we'd like to share what the experts think about the upcoming matches.

In the Australia vs. Serbia match Serbia has a major advantage over the Australian team. Serbia upped its chances by beating out the German team last week and by finally getting Aleksandar Lukovic back on the team. The Aussies have never defeated a European team at the World Cup and have had just one draw against the continent (tying things up with Croatia back in 2006). We'd put our money on Serbia in the match up any day and a smart sports bettor would do the same though should Australia do the unthinkable and win the payout would be enormous.

The Ghana vs. Germany match up should also be an easy call. Ghana holds a major advantage over Germany but with so much on the line Germany could pull a fast one and surprise us all. Ghana sits in a comfortable position on the score board one win ahead of Germany and a win will be vital to Germany should they wish to continue with the competition. A loss would put the Germans in legitimate danger of failing to reach the elimination round for the first time ever at the World Cup and we expect to see them pull out all the stops to assure their victory. Despite their best efforts though chances are they won't be able to turn things around. We'd put our money on Ghana for the win.

The US is also in desperate need of a victory in the USA vs. Algeria match. So far Group C has provided some of the most exciting odds of the game and Algeria holds a small advantage going into today's competition. We have an obvious bias in this match up since we hail from the states so we'd put our money on the US and hope for the best. Since the odds are relatively close the game could really go either way so in this case we say put your money on the team you like best. As of writing this article, the game has already begun and the US has scored the only point in the game so far.

Then there is the Slovenia vs. England match. England which looked to be a front runner going into the World Cup remains favored against Slovenia despite a bad performance so far at this year's competition. England has yet to claim a single victory so far drawing in both of their matches and are in desperate need of a win if they want to survive at this year's competition. Even though Slovenia stole a draw from the Americans they still are still in a good position to make it into round 16. Despite our love for England we think our money would be best served by placing a bet on Slovenia.
