Ghana 2010 World Cup Team

Ghana Football Team Profile & Form

Ghana will be hoping to build on the success of its under-21 team when it travels to South Africa in 2010. The squad will feature a number of the players who defeated Brazil in the final of the under-21 World Cup in South Africa, and the Ghanaians are likely to be the only African team with the self-belief required to win the cup.

Gauging the form of the senior Ghanaian team isn’t a simple matter, as the national team found itself up against relatively lightweight opposition during qualifying, becoming one of the first African teams to qualify for the tournament by heading Group E.

Ghana World Cup Betting Tip

The Ghana football team is the second shortest priced African team at the World Cup, trading at around the 50/1 mark. Whether this team is capable of producing a serious upset remains to be seen, but it may be worth placing a small bet on the team at these odds as they could provide good trading value later in the tournament. One stand-out feature of Ghanaian football is excellent defence, which means betting on clean sheets and low scoring matches could be profitable when this side is up against quality opposition at the 2010 Football World Cup.
