Live on BBC1: Sat 19.45: As one of the pre-tournament favourites Germany will fancy their chances of getting their Euro 2012 campaign under way with a victory over Portugal, for whom an over-reliance on Cristiano Ronaldo could ultimately be their downfall.
Bet365 price Joachim Low’s troops at 10/11 to get the better of the Portuguese, an 18/5 chance at Boylesports and that looks plenty skinny enough so it’s worth seeking value elsewhere ahead of the mouth watering Lviv showdown.
In a potentially tight affair for example, Ladbrokes quote Germany at 3/1 to shade it by a one-goal margin and Coral make them 8/1 to finish on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline.
With so many talented attacking players on show meanwhile, the first scorer market looks like something of a minefield, even if Skybet’s 9/2 chance, prolific Bayern Munich front man Mario Gomez does tempt slightly.
Instead, Coral’s 4/1 for Low’s team to nick it following a drawn first half is arguably the value wager in the Group B tussle, which is 10/11 (William Hill) to produce three or more goals.
