Germany will return to Port Elizabeth on Saturday, some three weeks after they were humbled at the same ground by Serbia. They were massively unfortunate to lose that particular Group D match, with Miroslav Klose sent off for two innocuous challenges and Lukas Podolski missing a penalty later in the game.
However, there’s every reason to think that Die Mannschaft will win this match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, with Paddy Power – £20 Free Bets offering a best price 8/11 that the Germans come away from the 2010 World Cup with the tag of being the third best team. It’s impossible to imagine that Uruguay would have torn apart England and Argentina in the same way that Joachim Low’s team did, with Stan James – £25 Free Bets offering a tempting 7/4 that they lead at half-time and full-time.
Their South American opponents deserve tremendous credit for reaching the semi-finals, although they are surely no better than a handful of other teams that played in this tournament. Their only great performance was beating a South Africa team that couldn’t defend, although you can back them at 9/2 (William Hill – £30 Free Bets) if you think they can win a fourth game of the tournament in ninety minutes.
Luis Suarez will return the starting line-up for La Celeste, the player that provided the ‘Hand of God’ in the quarter final against Ghana, something that helped his team go through. William Hill bookmakers are surprisingly big about the Ajax striker scoring first, offering 11/1 compared to the 15/2 on offer with Bet Fred – £50 Free Bets.
However, this could be an opportunity to end the World Cup on a punting high by backing Germany to win this match handsomely. They have produced some of the memorable moments of the World Cup, in particularly those four-goal salvos against England and Argentina. They also slotted a quartet of goals past Australia in the group stages and Coral – £20 Free Bets offer 40/1 that this young team win by a 4-0 scoreline on Saturday. You can get 4-1 at odds of 33/1 with the same firm and they are likely to be going for the jugular.
Miroslav Klose needs two more goals to break Ronaldo’s all-time World Cup scoring record and the Bayern Munich striker is available at 9/2 (William Hill bookies) to break the deadlock and go level with the great Brazilian. Thomas Muller will be back from suspension and he’s on offer at 8/1 (bet365 – £200 Free Bets) to score the first goal as he did against Argentina a week ago.
Germany at -2 on the Asian Handicap look a great bet at 4/1 (bet365 bookmakers), with a two-goal deficit easily surmountable one would think. Alternatively, Paddy Power go 13/10 that the Germans oblige with a -1 goal handicap and they might be that little bit more motivated than their opposite numbers.
