Argentina's Nicolas Burdisso eyes winning start - William Hill give £30 in free bets
Argentina defender Nicolas Burdisso will be happy to put substance over style in their World Cup opener.
Despite their qualifying struggles, Argentina are one of the favourites (13/2, William Hill) to lift the Jules Rimet Trophy next month.
And Burdisso knows victory over Nigeria on Sunday would be the perfect start, so he will be content with maximum points even if the performance is not of a high standard.
“I give more value to starting the tournament with a win than playing well,” he admitted.
“There is a lot of anxiety and to start with a win would mean a lot to us.
“We must win our first game and although it will be difficult, we have to know that a good result is all that matters.”
Argentina are 4/9 favourites with William Hill to win the match, while Nigeria are 13/2. And if you register for an account at the bookmakers’ official website using the promo code WORLD30, you will receive £30 worth of free bets.
