Iraq

vs.

New Zealand

FIFA Confederations Cup

Saturday 20th June 19:30 UK Time

Iraq have impressed with their determination in the tournament, but, yet to score a goal, this is a must win game and must win by a few goals. Iraq will assume that Spain will beat South Africa, but they must win themselves. Neshat Akram and Younis Mahmood have yet to make themselves really felt and the Middle East side should have enough power to beat New Zealdn, for pride if nothing else.

New Zealand will not have been displeased with the way they bounced back from their opening day 5-0 defeat to Spain. The loss against South Africa may have still been a loss, but at just 2-0 it was more easy to stomach. For New Zealand this will be another game to test themselves against better opponents, and, crucially, with them facing an Asian team in the World Cup playoff, this is their most important learning match.

Iraq are good enough to beat New Zealand and they should do it. Take the 1.40 for an Iraq win, but also, there probably won't be lots of goals, so Under 2.5 goal at 1.80 is appealling. Both at bet365

South Africa

vs.

Spain

FIFA Confederations Cup

Saturday 20th June 19:30 UK Time

South Africa should be roared on by a passionate home crowd here, and they know a draw would be good enough to get them through to the semi-final. Playing for a draw is difficult though and the home fans will urge them to go forward. The win against New Zealand was welcome, but Spain are a completely different kettle of fish. This game should tell South Africa where they are with their World Cup preparations.

Spain are determined to try to win the Confederations Cup, but how will they play this game? Certainly they won't want to lose top spot in the group, so for that they need at least a draw. The European Champions are very capable of winning here though and should be able to carve South Africa apart. That is if they play their first choice team.

This game can stay tight for the first half at least. So try Draw to be the half-time result at 2.00. Also, Under 2.5 goals at 1.75. Both with bet365

bet365: LEADER IN ASIAN HANDICAPS & MORE!

Finding the market leader in football betting is certainly not an easy job, but with bet365 we're confident we have found a bookie that has succeeded in combining all that's required to satisfy us punters' needs:

- A staggering 100% Deposit Bonus awaits new customers from mainland Europe and most countries of the rest of the world. The English speaking folk among us don't go away empty handed either as we are welcomed with a Free Bet Baskets of £100*.

- Unlike many other bookies, bet365 do not charge when making a deposit. Payments via credit/debit cards, Moneybookers, Neteller, Click2Pay and more are all available - and you are not charged a single penny!

- Probably the biggest plus for big football fanatics: bet365's fantastic range of markets cover almost every league & competition, and give you the opportunity to take advantage of markets that are unheard of with many bookies, such as a long list of Asian Handicaps and Scorecast bets.

Downside: Moneybookers users and residents from certain regions/ countries might be required to send their ID and fees are charged for more than one bankwire withdrawal per month.

Our Verdict: With free Live Streaming, good In-Play Markets & all of the above, this bookie offers one of the best services and betting markets in the field - and all in all we'll gladly give them 8 out of 10.
