Germany v Serbia World Cup betting

The reliable Germans should continue to be so against the lesser teams at the World Cup and although Serbia command plenty of respect you would expect the efficiency of the Germans and the class of a few players to be enough to secure victory.

Many shrewd punters are tipping up Serbia as World Cup outsiders and it is not hard to see why, they have defenders who play for Man Utd and Chelsea and a man mountain of a striker in the form of Nikola Zigic. They are sure to give all teams at the World Cup a decent game.

Germany v Serbia odds and tips

Germany are a decent price to win this game and one of the best teams to back often, despite their reputation not always making them the best value, they are extremely efficient and clinical and probably have the best mentality of all the nations in the world. Many have written Germany off but they remained unbeaten in qualifying and conceded just five goals so the ruthless streak and great organisation seems to still be there. Germany are so well organised it is hard to see there being too many goals in this game, add to that how solid Serbia are and under 2.5 starts to look a really good bet.

In what should be a low scoring game it could pay to go with the 1-0 win to Germany, that means only the first goalscorer market should be used of all the goalscorer betting markets and there is one standout bet. Miroslav Klose will be a threat but his height and aerial ability could be nullified by Namanja Vidic, instead it should pay to go for Lukas Podolski who was Germany's top scorer at Euro 2008 and he also managed to rack up six goals in qualifying, one less than top scorer Klose.

Germany v Serbia best bets

Plenty of players are capable of scoring the first goal here but with real reason to ignore likely favourite Miroslav Klose there should be plenty of value in backing Podolski, who is one of Germany's biggest goal threats anyway, if not the biggest. Back Podolski at best odds 6.5 with Will Hill where new customers get free £30 in bets.
