World Cup betting - Uruguay vs Germany correct score betting odds

The World Cup third place playoff match, contested this year by Germany and Uruguay, is famous for being a high-scoring affair and bookmakers seem to think we could be in for a goal-fest tonight, with 10Bet offering 3/4 (bet £40 to win £30 profit) that the game has more than 2.5 goals in it.

At least three goals have been scored in the last eight play-offs and the sides who meet today have both have shown a considerable amount of attacking talent so far in the competition, with Germany scoring at least four times on three separate occasions.

Despite the likelihood of a high-scoring game, the bookmakers have made a 1-1 draw the favourite score for the game, with Sky Bet and Canbet both going 7/1. This is followed by a slim 1-0 Germany win at 15/2 with Bet 365.

The score will depend a lot on the approach of the two sides. Uruguay will surely lend more importance to finishing third rather than fourth than their opponents, and Miroslav Klose looks as if he could miss out due to injury.

Diego Forlan, of Uruguay, will be keen to challenge for the Golden Boot and should play most of the game, while Klose may not be the only German to miss out as Joachim Loew looks to give some of his squad players a World Cup match.

An exciting 3-2 win for the European Championship runners-up is 27/1 with Canbet, while a surprise 1-0 win for Uruguay is available at 14/1 with Paddy Power. However, Uruguay have not beaten Germany is any of their eight previous meetings, with Germany running out 5-0 winners last time they met, in 1993. A repeat of that scoreline tonight is 100/1 with Blue Square and Totesport.

Another 4-0 humiliation of a South American side is 40/1 with Coral but given the motivation of Uruguay and the team Germany may send out, a 2-1 Uruguay win could prove to be the better bet, at 19/1 on Betfair.

The match kicks off off at 7.30 pm BST on Saturday 10 July in Port Elizabeth.
