World Cup 2014 Group C Betting has
provided some of the most exciting action so far in the UEFA
qualification zone. The draw for Group C placed European powerhouses
Germany alongside the battling qualities of both Sweden and the
Republic of Ireland. Over the early stages of qualification for the
2014 World Cup the group has taken on a somewhat expected shape.
Germany, Euro 2012 and World Cup 2010 semi finalists are the
strongest side by far, their potent forward attacking displays giving
them a solid grip on the qualification race. Although the Germans
netted fifteen goals in their first four matches, they were tripped
up in a draw against Sweden, one of the most remarkable games we’re
likely to see in 2014 World Cup qualification.
Leading 4-0 at half time on home soil
against the Swedes, a stunning comeback from Sweden saw them take a
point away in a highly unlikely 4-4 draw. While that has offered some
automatic qualification hopes for Sweden and the Republic of Ireland,
it is highly unlikely that collapses like that are going to happen
too often to Joachim Loew’s Germany. They are second ranked side in
the world for a good reason and the most plausible outcome is that
they will power their way to top spot in the group, but at least
Sweden the Republic of Ireland have the potential to cause upsets,
and that is what makes Group C so interesting.
Sweden made an unbeaten start to their
qualification group, although they looked as if they were going down
against Germany until that stunning fight back. The return match
between those two should be another group highlight. Sweden have
goals in them and they are not that likely to concede too many in the
group. There may well be a bit of value in looking at Sweden in World
Cup 2014 Group C betting, just as an outside shot to win the group.
Sweden of course have the goal scoring threats of Zlatan Ibrahimovic
to potentially fire them towards Brazil 2014.
The Republic of Ireland, who were
handed a tough group at Euro 2014 are usually a very solid
qualification side. The Irish always put up a battle and will push
and challenge hard to muscle their way into a qualification place. As
long as Germany keep themselves on track to win the group, and they
should take enough from their home matches to do so, it could leave a
really tough tussle between the Irish and the Swedish to get into the
mix. The Irish though perhaps are not as defensively organized and
strong as the Swedes and that could be the difference at the end of
the day. Sweden are trading much stronger in the qualification market
than Ireland.
Making up the numbers in the group will
be Austria, Kazakhstan and the rank outsiders Faroe Islands.
