Two early matchups Sunday leading up to the much anticipated Brazil vs. Ivory Coast game included Slovakia vs. Paraguay and Italy vs. New Zealand.
Paraguay was getting a little better than 60 percent of the backing in this one at Sportsbook.com. Paraguay would pay out even odds here with a win while Slovakia would pay US$28.50 for every US$10 wagered.
All the teams in Group F come into their respective matchups with a point each having drawn with no goals.
Italy faces New Zealand as the huge -555 favorite while New Zealand would pay out US$120 for every US$10 bet.
Only 55 percent of the betting action was going Italy's way however.
