England v Germany

England have only lost once in the last five competitive matches between the two teams and they will be hoping to continue their recent good record against the Germans.

BACK ENGLAND TO BEAT GERMANY

The thought of playing Germany would have had many fans quaking in thier boots after they beat Australia 4-0 but Germany have looked distinctly average against Serbia and Ghana and it could be that Australia just had an off day. Germany's defence looks there to be got at whereas England look realtively solid at the back, had it not been for a Rob Green howler England would be sitting on three clean sheets in a row. If England improve again from their Slovenia performance, which they should do, they are selected to beat the Germans and progress to the Quarter Finals.

England v Germany Asian Handicap Odds

The Asian Handicap is designed to make the match betting more equal by giving the underdog a head start. If you have a strong opinion about a match you can often find a better bet in this market.

BACK ENGLAND +0

The bookies make this too close to call which is why neither team has been given a head start in the asian handicap, so now you are effectively betting with the draw as no bet. If you had backed England in this bet the last five teams the two sides have met in a competitive match you would have won twice, got your money back twice and only lost once so it looks best to support england again.

England v Germany Goals Odds

Many bets can be placed related on how many goals there will be in the match so working out whether it will be high scoring or low scoring is usually a must before betting on the game.

BACK ENGLAND 2-0 AND UNDER 2.5 GOALS

All of England's games so far have had under 2.5 goals and it could be argued that had Tim Cahill not been unluckily sent off for Australia against Germany all three German games might have had under 2.5 goals, as it stands two of their games contained just the one goal. This is a strong pointer for under 2.5 goals.

England have started to look solid in defence again, David James will be brimming with confidence having kept two clean sheets since he came in for Rob Green and with Germany missing the best chances they create England should be well capable of keeping a clean sheet. The German defence has not looked well organised so far and with England starting to click up front they could end up winning fairly comfortably, 2-0 looks a good bet on the correct score front.

A look at the best bets involving the players of the match, usually the most popular bets in this category revolve around who will score the goals in the match.

England v Germany Team News

Wayne Rooney was taken off with an ankle knock against Slovenia but he is expected to be fit for this match. Fabio Capello faces a bit of a selection dilemma at the back, he could continue with Matthew Upson who looked solid against Slovenia, bring back Jamie Carragher who was suspended for the last match and then Ledley King could still prove his fitness having picked up a groin injury against USA. For Germany Miroslav Klose is expected to come back in for Cacau after serving a one match suspension against Ghana.

BACK JERMAIN DEFOE TO SCORE FIRST

Jermain Defoe looked lively against Slovenia and that word lively is something many England players have lacked so far. He looks unlikely to be dropped having scored such an important goal for England and his ability to be in the right place at the right time could be crucial, he is an out and out goal scorer so back him to score the first goal of the game, just like he did against Slovenia.

England v Germany Half Time Odds

Make extra money from each game by betting on what happens at half time as well as full time, the odds are often better than you would think.

BACK ENGLAND / ENGLAND IN THE HALF TIME / FULL TIME BETTING

England have only scored two goals so far but both of those cam relatively early in the match whilst the one goal Germany conceded also came in the first half. With England expected to perform well in this match we could see a goal quite early on and England are taken to take the lead in the first half and go on to win the game.

England v Germany Best Bet

The evidence from recent matches suggests that this game as a huge possibility of not being high scoring, perhaps we are even being generous thinking there could be two goals in the match, but it looks as though under 2.5 goals is good value and that gets the vote as the bet of the match.
