Few games come much bigger than this Germany v Spain World Cup Semi Final, the two teams that contested the final of Euro 2008. Spain has been made favourites to win by the narrowest of margins, although some Bookmakers have the two teams level in the market. Paddy Power for instance have the Spaniards at 8/5, the Germans at 9/5 with the draw being a 11/5 option.
Apart from a sloppy defeat at the hands of Serbia in the Group stages, Germany have been a revelation in this World Cup, the manner in which they have disposed of England (4-1) in the Round of 16 and Argentina (4-0) in the quarter final makes them very difficult to oppose when it comes to betting on the outcome.

Those wins have achieved two fundamental aspects that will have a huge bearing on this game, firstly they have given Germany a confidence level that is surely higher than that of Spain and it has given Spain much food for thought on how they will tackle their quick counter attacking, free scoring, opponents, while still attempting to play their normal possession game.
Spain v Germany World Cup Semi Final Odds Comparison
Spain will be grateful that the highly dangerous Thomas Mueller will be missing from the German line-up, but they must be fearful of the influence that the German playmaker, Bastian Schweinsteiger will have on the game and they will also know that the German striker, Miroslav Klose is in the form of his life and will deadly if given any sort of chance in front of goal.

The Spanish will no doubt rely on their possession game with Xavi and Iniesta controlling the flow from midfield, but they should also be working on the release of the football from the midfield to the strikers as it appears that throughout the World Cup they have lacked the final defence splitting pass that has so often been the reason why they have won so many games. It is true that striker, David Villa is still scoring regularly of course, but most of his goals have been self created and of course also the reason why they have even managed to get to this stage of the World Cup. It is no surprise therefore to see Villa as favourite at 4/1 with paddy power to score the opening goal, but we would rather back Klose at 5/1 to beat him to it.
It is a difficult game to call, but we think that greater German pedigree and their apparent greater desire will see them through to yet another World Cup Final, but we think that they may have to wait until extra time before getting there. We would therefore back a 2-1 German win at excellent odds of 9/1 with Paddy Power.com We list a few other alternative Correct Score Betting options below for further consideration.
