In terms of the betting there is value backing either side as Argentina are 11/8 whilst Germany are at 21/10.
There isn’t a clear favourite because this is the biggest test either have had so far, they’ve similar form coming into the match and there are doubts over the quality of both sides defences.
What it probably means is that the attackers from both sides will cancel each other out and they’ll play out a draw and go to penalties.
11/8 Argentina Win
11/5 Draw
21/10 Germany win
Lionel Messi has shown glimpses of his class but has yet to get a goal which isn’t the same Messi we saw scoring in nearly every game he played in for Barcelona last season.
Yet the punters still keep backing him to come good and score; FourFourTwo's betting partner Paddy Power have him as the 9/2 favourite to score the opening goal in this quarter-final and 13/10 to score at anytime inside 90 minutes.
