World Cup Betting Odds: Germany Looks To Topple Uruguay

Germany and Uruguay went farther into this 2010 World Cup than many analysts believed was possible. The two teams reached the semi-finals, but fell short of their dream of playing for the Cup. Now they will meet in the third place match.

If the World Cup betting odds have shown anything over the past month, it is that the underdogs can give gamblers a reason to rejoice. Upsets have been commonplace throughout the event, and that is exemplified with the runs both Germany and Uruguay have made.

Germany will head into the third place game as the betting favorite with odds of -135. That means bettors will have to wager $135 to win $100. Uruguay returns odds of +375, giving gamblers the opportunity to win four times what they wager should Uruguay pull the upset.

The total for the match is 2.5. Germany had been scoring almost at will before their loss to Spain in the semi-final. Uruguay gives the game a sharp contrast in style, with more of a defensive oriented squad. Uruguay scores their goals most of the time on counter attacks created by their defensive play.

A chance exists that both teams will use this game to get some of their younger players experience playing at the World Cup. Playing younger players has been common among teams playing for third place. The thought process is that the young players can get their jitters out in this game, and when the next World Cup rolls around in four years, the players will have the experience of their first action behind them.

The finals will be played in South Africa on Sunday. Spain is the gambling favorite, but the Netherlands have odds that suggest it could be a tight affair. The total for the final is only two.
