Oh my days. Turmoil in the bet-a-day challenge; I'm doubting if I'm the man to lead this blog forward, I doubt I'll be voted in for a future tournament and as I look at the profit/loss (-9.17) we come to the hardest game of the quarter-finals to call. Hardly bodes well...
Day 19 - Germany vs Italy
What a humdinger of a game we look set for here. Germany, yet to concede and supreme when brushing Slovakia aside in the round of 16 vs Italy, outsiders initially for Euro glory but a team that is more than the sum of their parts as proved when storming past Spain last time out. This looks set to be an absolutely thrilling match and is the quarter final I am most looking forward too!
Now to find a bet in the game; a bit more tricky. I've been very impressed with Germany thus far but quotes of 5/4 to win this in 90 minutes do seem skinny considering just how impressive Italy have been when thrashing Belgium and overcoming Spain with surprising ease. The draw is priced at 2/1 and Italy outsiders for the 90 minute win at 3/1. If pushed I'd have to go for Germany to win, they have really impressed me so far, but I wouldn't be confident.
Therefore, for the bet in this game I'm going for both teams to score at 13/10. Germany come into the game after hitting 3 past Slovakia, even missing a penalty in that game, whereas Italy put 2 past Spain and that could have been many more if it wasn't for the superb performance by De Gea in goal for Spain. Add into the mix that Italy are (probably) missing De Rossi with injury and Motta through suspension and I think we can definitely get a few goals here. I like this bet in knockout football as if one team scores the others are forced to attack and I'm hoping that both teams can notch here.
