The second major quarterfinal clash of the favourites at the 2010 World Cup will see Argentina and Germany battle it out, as the two take to the Green Point Stadium for a spot in the semis tomorrow night.
Our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is to back an Argentina win at $2.30, with the manner in which they win your decision, as it is simply too close to call!
Kicking off at 4pm locally, it will be a midnight start tomorrow night AEST and so SBS will start their coverage from 11.30pm for this thriller.
In a rematch of the 2006 World Cup quarterfinal where 90 minutes could not separate the two, and saw Germany advance on penalties, the Argentineans take the title of favourites as they go into the match at $2.30 with SportsBet.
This is the point in the tournament where overall predictions can realistically be made, and so the youthful German side which has done so well so far, will need to prove themselves against one of the biggest forces in international football at the moment, as they are outsiders at $3.20.
The two nations have different playing styles, with the South Americans’ individual flair driving them forward, and the German solid teamwork preventing many from breaking through – but which style produces World Champions?
The best player in the world at the moment, Lionel Messi did not train on Thursday with Argentina, but has confirmed he is not in doubt for tomorrow’s game and the football wizard is at $3.50 for the Man Of The Match Award, and $4 to score first – both realistic punts.
Germany’s Miroslav Klose could be a good bet at $18 to score two or more goals, as the striker has a record of 12 at the World Cup finals, three off the Brazilian legend Ronaldo’s 15-goal record, and has his eyes firmly on the challenge.
In what is set to be an incredibly close game, our ‘Tip Of The Match’ is to back an Argentina win at $2.30, with the manner in which they win your decision, as it is simply too close to call!
