FIFA Confederations Cup: Group Aby Ben, last updated 2005-06-20 23:35:47
Argentina v Germany Odds: Argentina (2.75) Draw(3.25) Germany (2.88)This match is pretty meaningless in terms of who goes through to the next round. Two wins for both sides has guaranteed them passage in to the semi final. The only thing at stake here is pride.
The last time these two met was back in February in Dusseldorf. The Argentineans score a late goal to escape with a 2-2 draw. That was friendly though - this match will be a little more competitive.
As I said before the Germans are a side which have fallen from grace. I can’t believe they scored 3 goals in the last 16 minutes against Tunisia. Before Ballack's penalty it looked like it was going to be a 0-0 draw. The Germans only need a draw to finish top. I’m not sure whether that’s desirable for them though. Brazil look certain to finish second in group B so whoever comes top has to play them in semis.
Argentina, even though not at full strength have played some good football so far. They were beat Tunisia 2-1 and Australia 4-2. They showed some defensive problems against the Aussies, they gave away a penalty and a defensive error allowed the Aussies to score a couple. Against a German side that has scored 7 in 2 matches this could be fatal.
I’m going to go for Argentina on this one. Germany haven't beat a top side since 2000, when they beat England 1-0. The Asian Handicap is +0 and the best odds I can find is 1.95 at bet365. The Germans are slight favourites here but almost everywhere else they are the underdogs. If you fancy the German side to win then you can get a draw 'no bet' at bluesquare at evens, which is the same as a +0 handicap but it’s a better price then I could find at any Asian Bookie.
