Argentina v Germany Quarter Final Odds: Messi Can Decide World Cup Classic

Germany take on Argentina in this World Cup Quarter Final on Saturday in Cape Town in what should be, quite simply, an epic. The two countries have enjoyed outstanding rivalry over the years, particularly in the 80s and 90s where they met in two finals, winning one each. Bet365 Bookmakers make Argentina favourites to win the match with odds of 11/8 with the draw at 11/5 and a Germany win 9/4.

Germany of course come to Cape Town in jubilant mood after thrashing England 4-1 last week in the Round of 16, that win and their earlier 4-0 trouncing of Australia is a very strong indication of their resolve at this World Cup. They play very much as a team with a strong mix of youth and experience with any one of the team capable of scoring at any time. They will certainly be testing the Argentine defence but will no doubt also be respectful of the South Americans 100% record so far in South Africa

Argentina v Germany World Cup Quarter Final Odds Comparison.

Argentina quickly moved into the World Cup reckoning after their first win over Nigeria, they appear to have gone from strength to strength since then and showed some awesome form when winning against Mexico in the Round of 16 last weekend.

It is a very difficult game to call the outcome as the two teams are very evenly matched, with the exception of course, of one player, Lionel Messi. The Barcelona talisman is increasingly becoming a player of significance in the Argentine team after a reasonably quiet start. Should he play to his absolute best, then we are confident that he will be the difference between the two sides. It seems staggering to us that Messi has yet to get on the scoresheet in South Africa, but we also think that he is now worth backing to score in this game. Messi is 15/4 to score the first goal, he is the same price to score the last goal and he is a mouth-watering 7/1 to score two goals or more. These odds are available via bet365.

Assuming therefore that Messi is at his best, we think that Argentina will win a very close game and one which we are sure will go to extra time. We think a scoreline of 2-1 looks good and would not put anyone off backing that outcome with odds of 8/1 from Bet365.Online Bookmakers.
