Germany v Serbia

Germany were the most impressive side so far with their 4-0 win against Australia, can they continue in good form here?

Serbia managed to finish above France in Group 7 of the European Qualifying section and that should not be put down to fluke, Serbia deserved to top that group and are unlikely to be beaten far by any side at the World Cup.

Germany v Serbia Match Odds

Match betting is a massively popular market and the first market most punters choose to look at as your decision in this market is likely to impact all other bets you place on the game.

BACK GERMANY TO BEAT SERBIA

Germany looked very good against Australia and whilst it is not always a good idea to get too carries away by one performance, they did enough to suggest they can win this game. Serbia were very disappointing in their opening match, they didn't create too many chances but they did look solid defensively and that may give them some hope of a result, but Germany are confidently selected .

Germany v Serbia Asian Handicap Odds

The Asian Handicap is an interesting bet as it usually gives one team a lead that should be enough to cancel out any superiority the favourites for the game have.

BACK GERMANY -0.75

This game should be very close and Germany may only win by one goal, in which case this bet would produce a quite small profit. However, if Germany do not win this game by one goal they will probably win it by more than one goal, either way this bet would produce a profit so we just have to hope Serbia don't improve significantly from their first match.

BACK GERMANY TO WIN 1-0 AND UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Germany may have scored four in their opener but against a better team with a much better defence we expect to see a much closer game here. Both teams looked solid in their opener and the likes of Ivanovic and Vidic are likely to have the measure of Miroslav Klose in the air, so goals could be at a premium here, although we think Germany will come out on top with a 1-0 win.

Germany v Serbia Team News

Germany are expected to be unchanged after impressive opening display, goalscorers Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski should continue in advanced positions. Serbia may also be unchanged despite an opening game loss, they will hope there are no late injuries to the likes of Ivanovic and Vidic who are key pleayers at the back.

BACK LUKAS PODOLSKI TO SCORE FIRST AGAINST SERBIA

Miroslav Klose had enough chances to break the World Cup scoring record against Australia but he could only score once, the majority of chances are likely to head his way again but he faces a different type of defender in Namanja Vidic and his dominant aerial style may be nullified here. they should clear the way for Lukas Podolski, who scored six goals in qualifying (one less than Klose) and also outscored Klose at Euro 2008. Lukas Podolski looks good value to score first.

Germany v Serbia Best Bet

BACK GERMANY TO WIN 1-0

A close call between this and unders, but since we don't particularly fancy Serbia 1-0 or 2-0 there should be much better value in trying to be more accurate with our predicition by going for a 1-0 correct score. Two strong defences meet but Germany have the attacking talent to get a goal, perhaps Serbia don't.
