Euro 2012 Odds: Germany vs. Italy

A slew of bets is at your fingertips for the Euro 2012 semifinals, and the match between Germany and Italy has a hundreds of different wagers available for you to feast on.

Though it was six years ago, Joachim Low still bitterly remembers what it felt like when Italy defeated Germany at the near-impenetrable fortress in Dortmund in the semifinal of the 2006 World Cup. He now seeks vengeance at the same stage at Euro 2012.

 

The favoured Germans are paying 1.85 to gain their revenge on the Italians in 90 minutes, while an offering of 1.40 is available should they advance to the final regardless of how or when they do it.

 

The draw result after 90 minutes of regulation is currently slated at 3.25 and is a bet that you should deeply consider.

 

Cesare Prandelli's squad played a stunning match against England were unfortunate to not win ahead of the penalties. The play of Daniele De Rossi and Andrea Pirlo has been outstanding and both men regardless of the final result should be listed in the tournament Best XI.

 

The Azzurri are slated at 4.50 for the outright win while simply to advance sees them at 2.62, which is not bad at all considering how well the team has risen to the challenges so far.

 

If Germany can deliver another strong performance as it has against all of its opponents thus far in the competition, then consider a home/home bet at Ladbrokes.com which sees a payout 2.87. But the better value, and more likely result would see the draw/home bet which increases to 4.50.

 

It would be a monumental shock should Mario Gomez not make his return to the starting lineup after Miroslav Klose started against Greece. Gomez, who is tied for tops in the Golden Boot race with three goals, is paying 6.00 to score first or last, while the score at anytime bet sees a lower, yet still valuable, bet of 2.37.

 

Flipping to the Italian goalscorer offerings, Mario Balotelli pays 9.00 to open up or close out the goalscoring, while the anytime is at 3.75. Meanwhile, Antonio Cassano, who has started every match thus far for Italy, is at 10.00 and a 4.33 to score at any given point during play (minus penalties).

 

The ever-so-popular Asian Handicap bet sees Germany down a half goal with a payout of 1.88 while Italy up a half goal is at 2.00.

 

The over/under is at 2.0/2.5 with the over at 2.10 and the under at 1.78.
