Live on ESPN: Fri 19.45: Germany are just 1/6 (Betfred) to win their Euro 2012 clash with Austria and Miroslav Klose should be on target.
Germany are just 1/6 with Betfred to get the better of neighbours Austria in the pair’s Euro 2012 Group A clash in Gelsenkirchen and the way Joachim Low’s charges tend to qualify for major tournaments with the minimum of fuss, it’s hard not to fancy a straightforward home win in this one.
The Germans have won all seven matches so far and know a success here will clinch top spot so they simply can’t be opposed and at 27/20 courtesy of Sportingbet, they’re a decent bet to prevail by at least three clear goals.
Mario Gomez has struck four times in Germany’s last four Group A outings and bagged a brace in his side’s 2-1 triumph in the reverse fixture in Vienna in June but he misses this one so Miroslav Klose should be the focus of goal bets.
The Lazio man has an impressive eight qualifying goals so far and Blue Square make him 3/1 to add to that with the opener here while Totesport quote Klose at 10/3 to grab at least two at some stage.
Elsewhere, France look a banker at 4/11 (Stan James) to get the better of Albania, bet365 chalk a talented Belgium side up at 4/9 to collect maximum points in Azerbaijan, Betfred rate Portugal at 4/11 to come out on top in Cyprus and Slovenia (1/3, Paddy Power) complete a fourfold accumulator that pays out at 5/2 with Betfred.
Recommended Bets:
Germany (-2) to beat Austria in the handicaps – 27/20 (Sportingbet)
Klose to score two or more – 10/3 (Totesport)
France, Portugal, Belgium and Slovenia all to win – 5/2 (Betfred)
