2010 world cup New Zealand vs Slovakia preview

2010 world cup New Zealand vs Slovakia preview: New Zealand vs Slovakia Live Betting odds, Slovakia have realistic expectations of maybe taking second place in Group F, and so a win here is essential if that’s going to happen. Slovakia will attack with quick and talented midfielders like Marek Hamsik, Miroslav Stoch and Vladimir Weiss Jnr. (his dad is the coach).

New Zealand will defend with big captain Ryan Nelsen of Blackburn Rovers, but will be without vice-captain Tim Brown who didn’t recover from his shoulder injury in time to play.

Slovakia are the stronger team, so this game is a perfect opportunity to make a confident start before meeting the bigger boys. For New Zealand, this is arguably their best chance of getting some sort of result. The 1982 World Cup team were handed three straight defeats, so if they pick up a draw and a point here, that would be a historic achievement.
