Germany v Denmark Euro 2012 Odds at Bet365
Germany 8/11, Draw 12/5, Denmark 9/2
Sunday’s action in Group B will wrap up the final standings there, and Germany, with two wins from two are in the driving seat. After taking a long time to break down a defensive Portugal in their opening match, in a game which was not flowing at all, we got to see the best of Germany when they squared up to bitter rivals Holland in their second group match. Germany were ruthless and clinical all over the pitch. Coming into the tournament, if you had to pick out an Achilles heel, it may have been their defence, but at the back, Germany have been very good. They have an immense midfield, with Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sami Khedira running the show, allowing the creativity of Mesut Ozil to pull the strings of invention. Up top, Bayern Munich striker Mario Gomez has netted three times in two games and is well on course to finishing the tournament with the honour of the Golden Boot. So two different performances from Germany, both resulting in wins, and the coach has promised that there is even more to come from his side. That is a bit of an ominous warning, and they will be firm favourites to enjoy a comfortable ride against Denmark, even though their opponents do have something to play for as well.
A point will be enough to confirm top spot in the group and Low has a fully fit squad to chose from. There is just one missing player through suspension for this game, with Jerome Boateng sitting out after bookings in the first two games. Of course, Germany have Mario Gomez in their ranks, the sharpshooter of Euro 2012, and the man most likely to fire them to glory. Interestingly, he managed just 18 seconds on the ball against the Netherlands, and managed to score two goals, and in Euro 2012 so far he has scored three from his six shots at goal (four on target). So that is some clinical finishing and he will be worth looking at in your goalscorer markets as well. Lukas Podolski will pick up his 100th cap for Germany if he makes an appearance. There is really nothing to suggest that Germany won’t win this. The only meetings between the two sides in previous European Championships was back in the final of Euro 92, which Denmark won 2-0 and in the 1988 Championships, Germany also won 2-0. Denmark won by a 2-0 scoreline at the ’86 World Cup, their only meeting in those finals, so there’s a pretty good scoreline trend to be riding. Germany hold a 14-8 head to head record against the Danes.
Germany have not beaten Denmark in the last three meetings between the two nations.
Marten Olsen’s men are still in with a chance of qualifying for the knock-out stage, but they may have to produce a win. If they manage to beat Germany, which would be some feat after taking down the Netherlands 1-0 in their first match too, then Denmark would be through, regardless of what happens in the other match. A draw may well suffice for Denmark, but that would be a nail biting affair for them, because a point would only be enough to qualify, if Portugal lose against the Netherlands. So everything to play for for Denmark and so far they have given a decent account of himself. In their second group match, Denmark though that a double strike from Nicklas Bendtner was enough to secure a point after equalising late own. But they were unstuck close to the final whistle as Portugal pounced to restore their lead. Denmark haven’t been bad, they have produced just what people had expected them to do, solid football and a team which works hard. Is that going to be enough to take down Germany? Well, the Danes are on a run of seven wins in their last ten matches and that is nothing to be sneezed at. It looks as if they need to hold and try to grab an early lead. 13 times out of 14 matches in the European Championships when Denmark have fallen behind, the Danes have lost. Michael Krohn-Dehli could be the lucky charm. In the five matches he has scored for Denmark, his side have won the match.
Prediction: The Danes have put up a decent show, and they will be hungry to get rewards for having beaten the Netherlands. However, a draw looks as if it is going to be the best that they can get out of this to be fair. Germany are a real class act and therefore a Germany -1 Asian Handicap for a positive price of 13/10 at online bookmaker Bet365 looks good.
