Germany put four past a decent team yet again against Argentina and they look so good going forward it is hard not to see them scoring against World Cup favourites Spain.
Spain have not really put in too many impressive displays so far and have given their backers some nervous moments but they keep on grabbing those wins and winning is all that matters in this match.
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.
On performances alone you would probably want to be with Germany to win this but with Spain keeping the ball so well it isn't really going to give Germany the chances to create as many attacks as they have done against England and Argentina, who both looked poor defensively before playing Germany. Spain have given the impression they still have another gear they can move into at this World Cup and Spain should be able to win this match, and are a very nice price to do so.
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.
This is effectively a bet on Spain in the draw no bet market, so you are getting worse odds on Spain but the risk is significantly reduced as if the game is a draw you get your money back. If you are backing this compare the latest odds with the draw no option betting above and back whichever has the better odds.
Take a look at recent results for the two sides to help decide what the best bets are in the over/under betting and also the correct score market.
Spain have been having some low scoring games recently, both of their knockout games were 1-0, but this was more down to the tactics of the opposition. The only team really to come and play football against Spain were Chile and they were beaten 2-1.
Germany have scored four in each match that Miroslav Klose has not been sent off or suspended so they look likely to score at least one goal in this. Everything points to a few goals so over 2.5 goals appeals and with Spain expected to gain a narrow win then 2-1 has to be the correct score pick.
Some of the most fun markets to bet on are the player markets, such as first goalscorer and anytime goalscorer. They are usually relatively big odds and can give plenty of reward if you pick correctly.
Both Carles Puyol and Cesc Fabregas have been passed fit for this match having both picked up knocks in the quarter final. Spain may be tempted to drop the misfiring Fernando Torres for Fernando Llorente to make the team a more effective unit.
David Villa has so far scored five of Spain's six goals at the World Cup so if Spain score tyou can be pretty sure that it will be David Villa who scores for them, at odds against he looks a good bet to score anytime.
Germany have looked very good with Miroslav Klose in the team, he has scored four goals for Germany and the way they play with Klose the main focal point of their attack he gets plenty of chances to score goals. Despite this he looks overpriced in the anytime goalscorer odds for Germany.
The latest tips that include the half time result in them, some of the most popular bets here are half time result and half time/full time.
Germany have made a habit of getting early goals at this World Cup and as they are likely to score against Spain, there is a fair chance they will score in the first half. Spain have failed to score in the first half of three of their World Cup games so far and although are expected to win this match, may actually be losing at half time. The odds on one team winning at half time and the other at full time are always pretty good and this should be backed to relatively small stakes.
With Spain expected to win this match they will obviously have to score more goals than Germany. The man who has been scoring the majority of Spain's goals (5 out of 6) is David Villa and if Spain score, Villa should score and that is why he is great value and the best of the match to score at anytime.
