Paddy Power favors Brazil to beat Portugal, win World Cup group

It’s a meeting between one of Europe’s finest and one of South America’s finest when Portugal and Brazil face off in a World Cup Group G battle for supremacy on Friday.

With over 100 lines on this game, Paddy Power online sportsbook has Brazil the favorite at 6/5 and a draw at 2/1 – both lines would give Brazil the group’s top seed going into the knockout round.

With a win Portugal takes the group, and only a huge loss plus a huge win by Ivory Coast over North Korea will eliminate Portugal from the tournament. This is good news for the Portuguese, as star player Deco won’t be playing.

For those wanting to see a goal from international superstars Christiano Ronaldo, Luis Fabiano or Robinho, PaddyPower thinks you will: These three are the favorites to be the first goalscorer (at 11/2, 5/1 and 11/2 respectively) as well as to score at all during the course of the match.

With a huge selection of sportsbook offerings, Paddy Power has over 30 markets in World Cup betting still available and up to 110 further prop bets each match. Live in-game betting is also on offer at Paddy Power throughout the 2010 FIFA World Cup – and don’t forget to take advantage of £50 in free bonus betting with first deposit!
