Serbia 2010 World Cup Team

Serbia Football Team Profile & Form

The Serbian football team was one of the surprise packages during qualifying for the 2010 Football World Cup. Placed in a tough qualifying group that included the Romanian and French national teams, Serbia managed to finish at the top of its group by securing some hard-fought victories.

The team was equally impressive outside of qualifying, thrashing World Cup hosts South Africa 3-0. The team let its guard down after qualifying for the World Cup, losing to lowly Lithuania. Nevertheless, the gritty performances put on during qualifying suggest that Serbia may be one of the genuine contenders for a World Cup upset.

Serbia World Cup Betting Tip

The Serbian football team is trading at over 50/1 at the majority of UK bookmakers. The team is definitely better than this price suggests and therefore provides value for trading at online betting exchanges.

Punters looking to bet on matches featuring Serbia can expect high-scoring affairs, with the Serbians fielding a lethal attack but hampered by a porous defence. The team’s sheer determination also suggests that they make a good bet on group winner markets.
