Group E will certainly be one of the more colourful groups in South Africa for the 2010 World Cup. The support for all four teams is renowned as being loud both vocally and in attire, so expect some cracking matches played in a fantastic atmosphere. Group favourites are the Netherlands, who arrive in South Africa with a 100% record in European qualifying. The Netherlands are joined by Denmark, Cameroon and Japan, but it is the Dutch who are epxected to top Group E, with Paddy Power best price with odds of 4/6 for them to do so.

The Netherlands are very much a nearly team when it comes to World Cup football. Losing finalists twice in the seventies, the Dutch have since had very talented teams on paper only to disappoint at the finals. Their best finish in recent times was in France 98, where they reached the semi-finals, but in their most recent appearance in a World Cup they lost to Portugal in the second round in Germany. However, with the likes of Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben and Robin Van Persie in their ranks, South Africa 2010 promises great things for this Dutch side and if you want to be extra safe with your bet you can back them at 1/6 to qualify from Group E with PaddyPower.

Denmark and Cameroon look to be battling it out for the second spot in the group with the bookmakers, as many make them the same odds to qualify. Paddy Power have nailed their colours to the mast however by making Denmark 10/11 to qualify and going best price 11/10 Cameroon make it out of the group stages. Cameroon are the most successful African team in World Cup history and it would be rather apt should they return the best perfomance of an African side this year when the tournament is hosted on the African continent. Paddy Power make them 4/1 joint second favourites to be top African team at the 2010 World Cup.

Japan will be keen to show they aren't just making up the numbers, although the bookmakers clearly see them as the outsiders of the quartet. PaddyPower make Japan the 9/1 outsiders to win Group E and 2/1 to qualify. You might be better off putting your money on them to finish bottom of the group at 11/10, as the other three teams should on paper be too strong for the Japanese.
Whether the Netherlands have the metal to win the 2010 FIFA World Cup is questionable, but if they keep up their fine form of qualification and don't suffer any of the dressing room bust ups that have hindered them in previous World Cup Finals, they have the quality to go a long way in the competition. With this in mind, we make the Dutch one of the 'Group Bankers' and at 4/6 they're a pretty attractive price. If you're looking for a little more value, it's difficult to look past the Danes to finish second, as they are well disciplined and have a goal threat carried by Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner. You can back Holland and Denmark in a straight forecast to finish first and second in Group E with Paddy Power at odds of 3/1.
