The Germany v Spain World Cup semi final is shaping up to be a great game between two attacking sides and it should also prove to be a great betting heat.

The Germany v Spain odds make Spain the narrow favourites over Germany in both the outright World Cup Betting Odds as well as the match odds for this game, it should be close but Spain are fancied to come out on top.

Germany have certainly put in the most impressive performances of the World Cup 2010 so far but they face a new type of team in Spain, the Spanish will control possession meaning Germany are going to have much fewer attacks. Germany create loads of chances but they also miss plenty and if Spain restrict the number of chances Germany have by keeping possession themselves then they should be able to win the game.

As you would expect from these sides there should be goals, they met in the Euro 2008 Final which was only 1-0 but with David Villa in the team (he was injured for the Euro 2008 final) Spain are always worth a few more goals, in fact other than David Villa at this World Cup only Andres Iniesta has scored.

Spain are fancied to end up as 2-1 winners for the match and that scoreline is available at more than fair odds, which can be viewed by clicking on any of the highlighted links for the match above.

Some of the most popular bets on matches are on who will score and in games where both teams should score it normally pays to back players to score at anytime. David Villa has so far scored five of Spain’s six goals so if Spain score he should be amongst the goals and he should be backed to score anytime at odds against.

Another player expected to score is Germany’s Miroslav Klose, he gets on the end of most the chances Germany create and he is in good form scoring twice against Argentina.
