Euro 2008 Final: Germany v Spain Bet

Just 20 minutes to kick off and I’m still not sure what way this’ll go. I’ve been on Germany since the beginning but I think the Spanish have the skill to get the better of Joachim Low’s side who haven’t really hit top form.

The Germans look suspect at the back and if anyone can exploit it the Spanish can. But something deep down tells me that Germany are also the most capable of snuffing out the flair of Spain. Perhaps they’ll both cancelt each other out.

Ballack v Fabregas should be very interesting. Ballack was almost invisible in the semi-final and is apparently struggling with a knock. Fabregas came on in the other semi and helped Spain take control against Russia. This could be a key battle in the outcome of the match. Ballack is a big game player and can deliver on the biggest of stages but Fabregas’ lack of games may be a deciding factor as his fitness should give him an extra yard.

I still don’t know who to back?

I’m tempted by the 13/5 (VCBet) available on Germany – you simply shouldn’t get that price on the Germans in any final. It might also wipe that smug grin off Mr Lineker’s face on BBC1 – that would be worth it.

Otherwise backing Germany on the asian handicap might be the way to go. They’re 1/1 (VCBet) on the split handicap (0, +0.5) and that means if it ends in draw after 90 minutes I’d still get half a payout.

Ok, here goes;

• Germany win 13/5 (VCBet)
• Over 2.5 goals 6/5 (Blue Sq)
• Klose to score first 7/1 (Blue Sq)
• Sweinsteiger to be first booked 14/1 (Blue Sq)

Enjoy the game!
