Often regarded as a nothing match the World Cup Third Place play-off between Germany and Uruguay in Port Elizabeth, might not mean much to many, but to the players and the countries of both teams it means a great deal. It also should mean a lot to soccer punters who have this penultimate World Cup game to capitalise on. Germany of course are favourites to win the match, with odds 4/5 available from Bet365 while Uruguay are given a tasty 7/2 to win themselves, with the draw being an 11/4 option.

Soccer fans should also know that this match carries important rewards, not least in terms of FIFA ranking points, which could be extremely helpful to both teams when the draw for the 2014 World Cup comes around. There are also the small matters of the Golden Ball and Golden Boot winner, with both sides having candidates for both awards. Germany’s Miroslav Klose, is still in with a great chance to win his second Golden Boot and knows if he can snatch a brace in this match, then he has a huge chance of achieving. As it stands, Klose is a 5/1 shot with bet365 to be the outright Golden Boot winner and has odds of about the same price to score two or more goals in this match.
Uruguay v Germany Third Place Play-Off Odds Comparison
Although the Golden Ball is usually awarded to a player who plays in the World Cup Final, there are two players, who play in this match still in the running. Although not having had his best game in the Semi-Final against Spain, Bastian Schweinsteiger, the German midfield dynamo, has had a terrific World Cup overall and could still be worthy of the Award, for which he is a 28/1 outsider to receive. While the Uruguay captain too, Diego Forlan is another who should certainly be considered, he has been a major inspiration to his team throughout the Finals with fantastic play and regular goals and at 28/1 he could be well worth backing each way.
