Germany v England Odds

The Germany v England odds for this Germany England betting friendly international has the two nations very close in the betting; despite the fact that both teams will be short of several key players for the match. It must be very depressing for England boss, Fabio Capello, he has had the England team playing to their full potential in their world cup qualifiers but will not be able to maintain that momentum, with so many players missing.

That said, on the bright side he will have the opportunity to blood new players and will be able to assess their ability in a fixture steeped in history and one that both teams will want to win.

The two countries last met in a friendly in August 2007, where Germany won 2-1, that was the first time they had played since England, under Sven Goram Eriksson had trounced Germany 5-1 in 2001

Likely regular players missing will be Steven Gerrard, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick, leaving Capello a problem with who to appoint for Captain, the likeliest candidate is Chelsea star, Frank Lampard. All in all it is a sad state of affairs for International football, it is no fun for the management and certainly no fun for the fans who are expected to travel to watch a match short of its best players and absent of any competitive edge. The Bookmakers make Germany 26/19 to win, while England are 9/4. The draw can be backed at also at 9/4.
