Spain and Germany lock horns for a massive Group E World Cup game that looks one of the matches during this early part.

Germany suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Japan in their opening game, so will need to get a win here if they want to progress, while having thrashed Costa Rica 7-0, then Spain will head here full of confidence and are now into 7/1 (from 10/1) to follow-up their 2010 World Cup win and go all the way.

The match betting sees Spain as the favourites at 2.30, with the draw 3.40 and Germany 3.00.

The last time the sides met Spain thumped Germany 6-0 and have only lost one of their last 7 against the Germans, so the 2.30 price looks fair value.

Spain also holds the edge in the overall head-to-head record with 5 wins to Germany’s 3 (3 draws) and the 2010 World Cup winners also come here having now won 9 of their last 12 games.

Despite Spain winning 6-0 in their last match against Germany, we’ve actually seen 6 of the last 7 head-to-heads go Under 2.5 Goals – this can be backed at 2.10.

That recent defeat to Japan was only Germany’s second loss in their last 17 games, but they have drawn 5 of their last 9 too – four of those have been 1-1, you can back 1-1 at 7.00.

Germany’s Muller, with 44 goals from 115 caps, will be popular in the scoring markets, while Spain’s Morata, who was on target last time out, has netted 28 international goals from 58 caps.

Overall, it expected to be a cagey game for Germany as they really do need to win it. Spain will know a draw will probably be good enough to see them progress, but they will want to win this to have a good chance of topping the group and also putting a big rival in Germany out.

Spain looked impressive in their last game and even though they are favourites for the game, it’s hard to think why they are not shorter. With that in mind, we are happy to stick with Spain here at 2.30 and send Germany packing.

BEST BET: SPAIN TO WIN @ 2.30
