Pre-game: Italy vs New Zealand (20 Jun 2010)Match Details
Italy-New Zealand, Group F, Nelspruit, Sunday 20 June, 16.00 (local time)

Why New Zealand would win?

New Zealand was able to come from behind and score a goal against Slovakia to tie the match. They can defend well, and patient enough for counter attacks. If Italy doesn’t improve their defense on aging Cannavaro, New Zealand could stick one against the Italians.

Why Italy would win?

Italy’s power relies heavily on their defense anchored on Buffon and Cannavaro. Buffon is out and Cannavaro has aged since the last world cup that he has lost a step or two behind. If he improves on this game and gets to rub it off his younger teammates, then Italy could be back in winning form.

Key Takeaway

Both of these teams are desparate for a win especially because Paraguay was able to win earlier which puts them on top of their group standings. Whoever wins this game has their eyes on the next round matches.

Why Paraguay would win?

Paraguay played a draw with a stronger team in Italy, not to mention against the defending FIFA World Cup Champions. This team is confident and they believe they can take a lesser team Slovakia out.

Why Slovakia would win?

Slovakia drew against a lower ranked team in New Zealand but this team needs to win badly or they can kiss their hopes good bye.

Key Takeaway

Both of these teams need to win to ensure they got a shot to the next 16. Expect these teams playing to win like its the last thing on their mind.

Pre-game: Netherlands vs Japan (19 Jun 2010)Match Details
Netherlands-Japan, Group E, Durban, Saturday 19 June, 13.30 (local time)

Why Japan would win?

If there is anything we have learned in the previous matches in FIFA World Cup 2010 is that lower ranked teams can win games against high profile opponents. Take Switzerland vs Spain. Serbia vs Germany. A draw by Algeria vs England.

Japan is riding high on their win against Cameroon and coach Takeshi Okada is putting Honda again on the attacking side hoping to score another goal and win on their side.

Why Netherlands would win?

The last time these two teams competed with each other the Dutchmen scored three goals against none for Japan. Netherlands is not just a high profile team but they have already proven they can demolish this team. Netherlands are not taking any chances and they would be coming off blazing.

Key Takeaway

This is a crucial win for both these teams that would assure them of a place in the next round. We should see an exciting match. On the contrary, if Netherlands gets in the groove, Japan might get demoralized and this match could turn into a shooting range for the Dutchmen.
