FIFA World Cup Betting: Algeria will partake in its third World Cup in its nation's history in 2010 in South Africa, but the World Cup odds are certainly stacked against it. Though a first game tussle with Slovenia seems to be a possibility, finding a point against either England or the United States could be virtually impossible for a nation that is really lagging behind most of these other countries in this field.

Qualifying was tense the entire time for the Desert Foxes, as they needed to play a one game do-or-die situation against Egypt for the final African spot in the World Cup. They got a goal from D Antar Yahia, his third of the qualifying efforts, to reach this stage.

There isn't a whole mess load of talent on this team to be able to make any sort of serious World Cup predictions on, but a midfield of Yazid Mansouri, Karim Ziani, and Mourad Meghni is considered the strength of the team.

Eking out a few goals is going to be the primary concern for Algeria, as it only scored 17 in 13 qualifying matches against a bunch of teams that weren't good enough to be in the World Cup. Now, against the world's best, that offense is going to be tested and tested in a severe way. Algeria clearly has the third best chance of qualifying for the second round of this tournament, but the World Cup lines are stacked against it at +1400 to win Group C. The Algerians are +40000 underdogs to win the World Cup.
