Germany v Uruguay
The World Cup Third Place Playoff has traditionally been a high scoring game with both teams throwing caution to the wind with relatively little at stake.
Both teams are better in attack than in defence so we could be in for quite a game, but which side will score the most goals and win the match?
Germany v Uruguay 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 URUGUAY
Uruguay were outplayed by both Holland and Ghana and were not strongly tested in previous games at the World Cup so you would expect Germany, who have put in some of the best performances of this World Cup, to have their measure. Germany are a confident selection at what looks a great value price.
Germany v Uruguay 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
Germany may not have scored against Spain but they have shown enough in previous games to suggest they have loads of goals in them, they should be able to win this match by at least two clear goals making this bet a winner, but even if they could only win by one you would only lose half your stake so the risk seems limited compared to the reward.
Germany v Uruguay Goals 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.
BACK GERMANY 3-1 AND OVER 2.5 GOALS
This match is traditionally a high scoring game, in the last six renewals of the third place playoff there have been a huge twenty three goals, which works out at almost four goals a game. The reason for this is neither side is particularly fussed about winning the match but there are usually a few players still in contention for the Golden Boot (there are at least three in this match) and you tend to see plenty of goals, we expect to collect on over 2.5 goals.
Backing 3-1 always has a large degree of risk but this is reflected in the price. Germany have already scored four goals three times and Uruguay conceded three in their last match so plenty of German goals are likely. Uruguay have Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez and between them they can get a goal. Take a chance and go for a 3-1 German win at big odds.
Germany v Uruguay Player Odds
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.
Germany v Uruguay Team News
Germany are able to welcome back Muller into their side after he was suspended for the semi final against Spain, he should fit in back on the right and Germany should look more like the side that beat Argentina. Uruguay have a fitness doubt about star player Diego Forlan and he will undergo a late fitness test, Luis Suarez does return after serving his one match ban.
BACK MIROSLAV KLOSE TO SCORE ANYTIME
Miroslav Klose is not only chasing the World Cup Golden Boot for the second time, he is chasing the all time World Cup scoring record so expect to see plenty of him in the six yard box. The good news is he is the most likely scorer for Germany and Germany should get a few goals so Klose makes plenty of appeal to score at anytime.
Germany v Uruguay Half Time Odds
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.
BACK GERMANY / GERMANY IN THE HALF TIME / FULL TIME BETTING
With plenty of goals forecast for Germany and a relatively easy victory expected there is no reason not to think Germany won't be winning this game at both half time and full time. They scored early against both England and Argentina and can keep that up against Uruguay.
Germany v Uruguay Best Bet
BACK OVER 2.5 GOALS
We don't know exactly how many goals there will be in this but you would expect plenty of goals between these two teams in any match. Add in the fact that it is the third place playoff and there is good reason why there are always goals in that match so over 2.5 goals is the best bet of this game on Saturday night.
