Spain Chile Betting – Spain Will Reign Over Chile
Spain had a very disappointing opening contest and because of it, they have to play well in their third World Cup groups stage game to make sure that they advance. They lost to Switzerland, who like them, has three points. The only difference is the Swiss get to play Honduras while Spain has to play the group leaders in Chile. Should Spain fail to win, World Cup betting fans may see the Euro 2008 Champions heading home early.

Team Spain – Betting Preview
Spain came to life in their second match against Honduras, firing 22 shots on net and finally breaking through with a pair of them. David Villa scored two dazzling goals and Spain finally came to life. This is a team that is far too talented to be held off the score sheet regularly.
The good news is they didn’t seem to feel the pressure in their second game. They were still very relaxed in the contest and didn’t feel the weight of the world on their shoulders, as England did (and in turn choked in their second game as well).
Overall, Spain is on the right track and if they play their game, online betting fans should see them overwhelm Chile.
Team Chile – Betting Preview
Very quietly, Chile has climbed to the top of their group and while Spain couldn’t find a way through the Swiss defense, Chile did. Meanwhile, on the defensive end, Chile has yet to concede a goal through two matches. They have been very disciplined to this point and they do deserve a lot of credit for that.
Against Spain, they’ll have a much tougher time keeping them off the sheet as the Red Fury offer far more weapons than Honduras or Switzerland. Chile also has six points already and has moved on to the knockout stage, so they might not be so fired up to win this game.
Who To Bet On?
Soccer betting fans have to take Spain in this contest. After a sluggish start against Switzerland, they have woken up and rebounded well. That should continue against a Chile squad that may not be so into this game since they don’t have a lot to gain.
Meanwhile, Spain is going to keep on coming forward and that Chilean defense that was strong in the first two games is going to break down a couple of times en route to a Red Fury win.
