The reigning World Cup champions put up an underwhelming performance against Mexico, to express it politely, especially in the first half. It was just plain awful and they had huge problems against a fast and counter-oriented Mexico offense. Their wingbacks were pretty much overrun by Chicharito and Hirving Lozano and Germany could have easily conceded more than just one goal.
Nevertheless, Germany obviously remains the huge favorite in this match. 1XBet offers 1.52 odds for Germany to win this game. Something that might cause some trouble for the Germans is their lack of goal scoring opportunities. The team did not only fail to create a sufficient amount of chances but they also failed to convert on all of them. When looking at their past matches, you will also notice that they only managed to score a combined 6 goals in their past 7 games – that’s definitely not enough for such a good team.
However, I am still confident that Germany will bounce back in this game. Spain has also lost their first match of the 2010 World Cup and we all know the outcome. Most of the tournament favorites have disappointed thus far and Germany was no exception. I expect a hard fought battle and a close victory by the favorites. If you are interested in a more risky option, you might be inclined to bet on the handicap victory. Bwin offers 2.30 odds for a Germany handicap victory which seems reasonable.
One of the most entertaining teams will be taking on South Korea. Mexico had an absolutely brilliant performance against the reigning World Champions and shook the world. They played a fast-paced and aggressive style of football and absolutely dominated their opponents.
I think this is a way more one-sided game than the current odds may suggest. Pinnacle is your best option @1.70 if you are planning to bet on Mexico to beat South Korea. I am pretty confident in this bet; however, looking at the over/under betting markets is worth the time as well. 18bet offers over 2 goals at odds of 1.82 which seems decent.
Belgium pretty much dominated Panama throughout the whole game but that was obviously not a big surprise. Even though they did not manage to score a goal during the first half they kept playing their usually play style and took home three points. Tunisia is considered to be stronger than Panama, but I think they are still not a big test for the Europeans. England vs Belgium is the key matchup in this group and the winner of this game will obviously advance to the Round of 16 as the group winners.
The Belgian team is considered to be World Cup favorites by many experts and rightfully so. Their team is all around really decent and they are playing an entertaining, yet efficient type of football. Once again I am going to stick with the favorites in this game and I expect Belgium to win to nil. Redkings offers 2.01 odds and is your number one choice for that particular bet.
