Germany are 2/5 favourites to progress to the final of the Euros, also offered at 10/11 by William Hill to win the match in 90 minutes. Germany are expected to win the match comfortably, and Mario Gomez and Miroslav Klose are 9/2 favourites to open the scoring. As if to highlight the perceived dominance of the German side, only one Italian player is in the top five in the first scorer betting the mercurial Mario Balotelli (13/2).

The Italian has the potential to light up any stage with his ability but he is also prone to seeing the occasional red mist. Super Mario is 12/1 to receive a red card in Thursdays encounter in 90 minutes. It is 25/1 that a red card is the first thing that happens to Balotelli in the match. The favourite is that he gets subbed at 11/10, 13/8 he will finish the match, 5/2 he will be booked and 4/1 he will score. With a character like Balotelli on the pitch, each of those are as likely as the other but William Hill believe he will behave himself without scoring and will be replaced.

There is another Super Mario expected to be on the pitch on Thursday night and that is the German one, Gomez. The joint top goal scorer at Euro 2012 is 5/2 that he will be beat Balotelli in a goals match bet with the Italian at 10/3. The odds suggest they may do as well as each other with a tie rated at 8/15.

It could be argued that Gomez has been the stand out performer in a Germany team that has done so well at this tournament but Balotelli, while not being as prolific, has the ability to turn a game on its head in an instant, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Its All About The Moneygreece 50/1 For Euros/euro Exit

June 28, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bastian Schweinsteiger, Euro 2012, Euro 2016, Georgios Samaras, German Fans, Greek Player, Greek Team, Haves And Have Nots, Joe Crilly, Lukas Podolski, Mario Gomez, Mesut, Miroslav Klose, Reus, Salpigidis, Theofanis Gekas, Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos, William Hill, Williamhill

Germany are the 1/3 favourites to defeat Greece in 90 minutes on Friday evening, with William Hill making the 96 winners 1/7 to qualify for the semi final.

Germanys dominance is highlighted by the fact that the first six runners in the Man of the Match market are German, with Mesut Ozil 5/2 favourite and Mario Gomez 3/1. Theofanis Gekas is 10/1 joint seventh favourite for that honour and the first Greek player in the betting.

Hills also offer 2/1 that Mario Gomez scores more than the whole Greek team put together.

The match is being built up as the head to head between the haves and have nots and Hills are offering 50/1 that Greece exit both the Euros AND the Euro before the end of the week, while it is 5/1 for Greece to still be using the Euro by the start of Euro 2016 (1/9 not to be).

This match is expected to mirror the contrasting financial differences between the two teams and with that in mind, we reckon the German fans will be bouncing higher than a Greek cheque, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
