GERMANY VS SERBIA LAST MINUTE WORLD CUP BETTING TIPS
You'll find Germany still trading as the heavy favourites in today's match and you'll see them trending downwards on some popular sites, especially ones with a more continental focus. You can still get a great price on them with UK bookmaker Blue Square as Germany are available at 8/13 at the time of this writing.
You can back Serbia to beat Germany at a 5/1 price while the draw is listed at 11/4.
I don't think the bookmakers expect a similar type of blowout to the match against Australia, but many people got very carried away with the German performance. I think that they definitely lit up a dull World Cup with goals, but let's face it- you have to win 10 games to win this thing and Germany have won a single one, albeit quite handily.
Just because they scored a few goals against 10 men Australia doesn't mean they're going to walk all over Serbia- a team who can be extremely hard to play against if you don't keep yourself organized.
Miroslav Klose is listed at 11/10 to score a goal anytime and he's an enticing 4/1 to score a header specifically. He is well-priced at 3/1 to score first for Germany and 9/2 to hit the woodwork. I think he'll get a few chances and putting at least one off the post wouldn't surprise me.
Nicola Zigic is listed at 11/4 to score a goal at any point in this match while Mesut Ozil can be backed at 12/5. He is 100/1 to score a hat-trick and 5/1 to be booked.
I think Thomas Muller at 2/1 is a good bet for an anytime goal as well.
Germany on a (-1.0) handicap are priced at 8/5 and that's a damn good price if you think Germany should stroll this one.
Over 2.5 goals is available at an even-money price while over 3.5 goals trades at 5/2. Under 2.5 is priced at 8/11 and that shows the bookies don't see things getting too crazy.
I think the first twenty minutes are very important. If Serbia can get plenty of possession and keep the Germans from carving out clear-cut chances then I think they've genuinely got a shot at this one.
