German v Bosnia - Betting tips for the World Cup warm-up
Germany’s preparations for the World Cup have been hit hard by the injury to captain Michael Ballack, and tonight against Bosnia they will attempt to find a solution to the void left in the centre of midfield by the Chelsea star.
Sami Khedira and Bastien Schweinsteiger will play in the middle, and it is imperative that the Bayern Munich playmaker steps up on the biggest stage if his side are to have any hope of challenging in South Africa.
Germany are a best priced 3/10 (StanJames) to beat Bosnia, and it would be a shock if they didn’t, given that head coach Joachim Loew has told his players that this is a dress rehearsal for their opening match of the World Cup, against Australia.
It is 10/11 (Bwin) that Germany lead at half-time and go on to win the match, but for a better bet, take the 13/10 (PaddyPower) that Low’s side win to nil, as clean sheets are the German’s speciality.
Bosnia are 10/1 (Bet365) to upset Germany’s plans with a win, but in truth, they may struggle tonight, and Edin Dzeko (11/1, Bet365) is likely to be starved of service in attack.
Recommendation
Win to Nil – Germany (13/10, PaddyPower)
