Uruguay vs France Odds: World Cup Predictions

The second kick-off game on Friday will feature the 1998 World champions against a team that is making only their second appearance at the finals. Uruguay will face France at 2:30pm EST in a game that can be seen on ESPN while South Africa vs Mexico will be the featured kick-off game starting at 10:00am EST. World Cup predictions have France favored at EV money in odds to defeat Uruguay +265 while a draw would pay +225. Online sportsbooks have the point-spread at a PK for France (-200) while the over/under total is favored to go UNDER -150.

Uruguay is a huge longshot to win the tournament in 2010 World Cup predictions at +125-1 odds but could have the possibility to reach the round of 16 in the Group A bracket against their opening round opponents France, South Africa and Mexico. Uruguay has had convincing wins over Switzerland and Israel and claim to be in their best form for the match on Friday. "Our conscience is clear," captain Diego Lugano (Fenerbahçe) said this week. "We have done everything possible to arrive at this game in the best possible condition."

France comes into the 2010 World Cup in somewhat of a controversy among other qualifying nations. Thierry Henry had a "Mano de Dios" moment like Diego Maradona (Argentina) in the 1986 finals, to defeat Ireland and claim a spot in the Group A bracket. Add in the fact that head coach Raymond Domenech is expected to leave after this year's tournament, they lost to China 0-1 and drew vs Tunisia 1-1 in International friendly matches and you have to seriously question if France should be the betting favorites for Friday's match. "They are clever in front of goal, far or near. But it is not just these two players," said goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (Olympique Lyonnais). "We must be wary of the whole Uruguay team," he added.
