URUGUAY VS GERMANY PREVIEW FOR 2010 WORLD CUP 3RD PLACE MATCH PART TWO
Luis Suarez might play with a little extra verve here having earned himself the title of national hero with his goalline drama. He's 9/4 to score anytime and 11/1 to score first or last. Suarez is a solid 16/1 to score two or more and he's at 50/1 to get a very famous hat-trick.
If you think the match is going to be fairly tight, you may want to wager on the defenders to score, and if any of them are worth a bet it's likely Philip Lahm- the German captain is priced at 6/1 anytime and 33/1 first or last. Diego Godin is priced at 7/1 for Uruguay.
A 1-1 draw is the favoured correct scoreline here and that's priced at 6/1 with William Hill. A 1-0 result to Germany is at 13/2 and 2-1 to the Germans trades at 7/1. 2-0 pays 8/1 while Uruguay 1-0 and 2-1 pays out at an 11/1 price. Germany to win 3-1 pays out at 11/1 as well.
The bookmakers definitely favour goals in this one with the over/under for Uruguay vs Germany at 2.5. The over 2.5 bet is priced at 4/6 while under 2.5 trades at 11/10. Over 3.5 goals pays out at 2/1 while over 4.5 rewards at a solid 9/2.
The match is 5/1 to go to penalties.
If you're looking to add some value to your goalscorer bets, try the player specials where you can back players to perform certain actions. I think Miroslav Klose to score from a header at 9/2 is a very solid bet while Luis Suarez to be booked at 10/3 is also a great selection. Thomas Muller to hit the woodwork at a 9/2 is a decent option for those feeling adventurous.
Germany are odds-on to score first with an 8/15 price while Uruguay are available at 8/5 to notch the first strike. I think the first goal is going to be crucial and Uruguay will definitely not want to be chasing this one.
Germany are 7/5 to keep a clean sheet and are 15/4 to score in both halves.
I think that this one could definitely come down to who takes their chances the best in the opening phase. I think a longer, low-scoring match favours Uruguay while Germany will want to get forward with some momentum and exercise the demons of their loss to Spain. I think that Germany's defense needs to stay organized and can't allow Uruguay to hit them from a set-piece. If it's scoreless at half-time, I think extra-time is a great bet.
