Online bookmakers have Mexico +250 slight money line favorites in 2010 World Cup picks vs Uruguay +275 while a draw would return -110. El Tri are also PK (-130) favorites in point-spread World Cup odds for their latin American clash vs La Celeste PK (EV) while the over/under soccer betting total is sitting at 1.5 OVER (-130).

Uruguay comes into the final opening round game on top of the Group A bracket with 4-points and 3 goals tied with Mexico while France and South Africa sit as the lower two with 1-point each. Uruguay played to a 0-0 draw with France in their first match but started finding the net with a 3-0 victory vs Bafana Bafana last Wednesday. Uruguay just needs to draw vs Mexico but defender Diego Godin feels his squad can do better. "Mexico will be a difficult rival just as all the teams in the World Cup," said Godin this week. "They play good football, but we have the weapons to destroy their game and we know how to cause them damage." Bet Uruguay +275 as underdogs in 2010 FIFA World Cup picks vs Mexico.

The Mexico camp will not be playing for a draw either and manager Javier Aguirre is stressing a bit of Latin pride in winning tomorrow's match vs Uruguay. "Tomorrow we're going to try and win," Aguirre said this weekend. "The law of the Mexican side is to win. If as a consequence of what happens on the pitch there's a draw or a defeat and we both qualify with no major goal differences, then we'll both be happy. But I can guarantee that the Mexican side is going to go out there to try and win," he added. Mexico handled France 2-0 with goals from Javier Hernandez (64th minute) and Cuauhtemoc Blanco (79th minute) and only need a point to reach the round of 16.

Tuesday's Mexico vs Uruguay game will be one of the more exciting games to watch especially since it is not known if France will even show up to play vs South Africa. La Celeste has Diego Forlan but Mexico has Giovani dos Santos, Rafael Marquez and depth on the bench with Blanco and Javier Hernandez. Although online bookmakers are expecting a low scoring affair, I plan on seeing plenty of shots from both squads since teams seem to be finding their grip on the ball now which should result in a 3-1 or 3-2 victory for Mexico.
