GERMANY VS SPAIN PREDICTIONS AND SEMI FINAL BETTING TIPS PART TWO
Spain are a solid 3.2 to win the first half and I think that's a great bet if you fancy Spain to win the match. Germany are just behind at 3.4, while a half-time draw is at even-money.
Either side to win on penalties is listed at 10.0 while Spain to win the match in extra-time is listed at 11.0 and Germany are 12.0 to capture an extra-time victory.
A penalty to be awarded at any point in the match is priced at 3.25 while no penalties is trading at 1.29. A red card is listed at 3.0 and no red cards is priced at 1.33.
Bastian Schweinsteiger is the favourite to be the first carded player, priced at 9.0, while Sergio Busquets is just behind at 10.0 while Arne Friedrich is alongside Xabi Alonso, Gerard PIque, Carles Puyol and Sergio Ramos at 11.0.
David Villa is the favoured anytime goalscorer and he's listed at 2.1 and that's a better price at Stanjames.com than you'll find at a few other bookmakers- many of whom have him at odds-on to score anytime.
Miroslav Klose is priced at 2.63 and that's the same listing as Spain's Fernando Torres. I think Torres is a due a goal, but he look woefully out of form doesn't he? Fernando Llorente is at 2.75, just ahead of Mario Gomez and he's priced at 3.0. Lukas Podolski is listed at 3.25 to score anytime and Cacau is at 3.5.
It could really be one for the in-play punters as there are just so many variables here with this many quality players on the pitch. The first goal will be extremely important and I think that Germany should take this one if they can hold onto the ball and dictate the play going forward. So far in this tournament nobody has been able to handle David Villa and, if Germany can mark him out of the match, can they step up and show another dimension against a team that's significantly better than the others that they've faced? If you can't answer that question, you should save your money until the match starts.
