WORLD CUP: WC 2010 Qualifiers (Europe)
Albania vs. Portugal (-285)
$2565 to win $900
On paper it looks like a trap. Whether you believe in them, or not... it's indeed no trap. Portugal has been straight trash in their last 4 qualifiers ---- which they haden't scored in 3 of them. But EVERYTHING is leaning to a Portugal win. Some huge reasons why:
-Christiano Ronaldo quotes: "If we don’t beat Albania we won’t be at the World Cup." He's absolutely right. As that statement is reflected on their current standing in points, I think he also truly means that if they can't beat a team like Albania, they don't deserve to be there either. He's bringing his A game.
-One win in five matches. Although Portugal manager Carlos Queiroz is loved by both players and fans, if he doesn't prodouce a result here, it could mean big trouble.
-Albanian manager Josip Kuze has OPENLY admitted that he does not expect his team to be fully motivated for this match, and DEFINITELY not as motivated Portugal.
These signs force me to take Portugal. Honestly, I would be playing this at any price of -700 or under. The likes of Ronaldo, Simao, and Deco should get it done here.
Albania 0-2 Portugal
