Group A Confederations Cup Picks

BetAsia gives out top picks on the Iraq V New Zealand match, plus the Spain V South Africa match.

Iraq V New Zealand

This match will really amount to nothing more than pride for both teams, neither have any chance of progress in the competition, so its probably not worth getting too involved for betting purposes.

I do however think that Iraq are a better all round team than New Zealand.

Although not a strong betting heat, I think that Iraq will win 2-0 sending home New Zealand with three defeats from three and without scoring a goal.

Spain V South Africa

Spain find themselves in the semi-finals, regardless of Group A fixtures, being on 6 points they are guaranteed progression but will be looking to keep their winning run together to ensure that they win the group and so play the runners up in Group B.

As it stands South Africa are the only team that can stop Spain winning the group and South Africa are also unbeaten.

I can see this being a closely contested game with the hosts also wanting the group top spot.

Admittedly Spain have looked the best team in this group from the start, but they seemed short of idea`s against Iraq the other day and I am thinking this could be a 1-0 or 2-1 to Spain.
