France and Portugal Feeling the Heat in Sport Betting Online. Sport betting online has France and Portugal feeling the heat as they play World Cup qualifying games on Saturday. France is five points behind Serbia and really need a win on Saturday in sports betting against Romania. Portugal is in no better shape as they are seven points behind Denmark in their group.
Sport betting online had France winning the World Cup in 1998 and the runner up three years ago. They might not even make it this year if they don’t win on Saturday. They do not want to lose against Romania and then have to face Serbia in a must win situation next Wednesday. It is not all bad for France if they can turn things around since two wins would put them at the top of the group. Two sports betting losses would put them into the runner-up playoffs in November and that is not a spot they want to be in. “There’s a lot of pressure and a lot at stake. The two games are really important for the future and for the World Cup,” France striker Nicolas Anelka said.
Portugal was not expected to be in this sport betting online spot as they take on Denmark. Cristiano Ronaldo is considered one of the top players in the world as is his teammate Deco. “There’s not much to say. We have to win. That’s it,” said Deco, “We’d have liked to have been in a more comfortable position at this point, but we can still do it and we have to win these upcoming matches.” A Portugal sport betting online loss could put them in a very bad spot because second place Hungary has a winnable sport betting online game against Sweden.
In other sport betting online action at the sports book on Saturday, Spain should get another win as they host Belgium in Group 5. Second place Bosnia-Herzegovina could put themselves in great shape with a win at last place Armenia. Defending champion Italy could put themselves into a lot better shape with a win over Georgia in sports betting and then against Bulgaria.
England has Saturday off but can clinch Group 6 with a win next week against Croatia. Ukraine and Belarus are battling for the sport betting online runner-up spot. Group 2 has Greece and Switzerland battling on Saturday for the top spot while in Group 3 it is a big sports betting match at the sportsbook between Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
