The biggest question so far has been whether Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to participate in the game. He seems to be fit for tonight giving punters betting on him to win the Golden Boot a boost at online sportsbooks in Germany .

Germany v Portugal clash delivers prospects of a great game and a long list of betting offers
 
• Online sportsbooks in Germany supply punters with lots of wagering opportunities

• Cristiano Ronaldo is the favorite to score first

• However, Germany are still the favorites to win the fixture

Germany are of course one of the favorites to win the World Cup with 7.00 outright winner odds, third in line behind Brazil and Argentina. Portugal, however, are occupying 10th spot in that regard with pretty long 29.00 odds from Bet365.

If Portugal were to reach late World Cup stages, they certainly need Ronaldo to perform at his peak form. Portugal captain, at 29 years of age surely understand that this World Cup is probably his last opportunity to really shine on the international arena of this magnitude. That is why he will most certainly be trying to find the back of the net with every opportunity, thus making the 19.00 odds on him becoming the tournament’s topscorer a pretty rewarding line.

Those who bet on sports in Germany can also back Cristiano Ronaldo at 2.00 odds to score at any time, and at 5.00 odds to score first. But there’s naturally more talent on Portugal’s rooster besides CR7. Helder Postiga is given 3.25 odds to score at any time, and there are 4.33 odds on Hugo Almeida to do the same.

Betting on Germany

Naturally, the loss of Marco Reus to injury has put a dent into Germany’s hopes, but not a big one. Die Manschaft still boast a long list of high-class players capable of causing serious trouble for any opponent. Veteran Miroslav Klose is still on good form and is given 7.00 odds to open the scoresheet tonight.

There’s also Tomas Muller, much younger than Klose and a huge force to be reckoned when it comes to both speed and skill. The Bayern player is given 2.75 odds to score at any time, and judging by his 5 goals during the last World Cup, this wager looks like a pretty smart one to make.

Interestingly enough, Klose got the same line of 10.00 as Muller to score 2 goals or more: 10.00, while either of them scoring 3 or more times will bring a massive payout of 41.00. Winning margin odds are also pretty nice for this match, where 1 goal difference for Germany pays at 3.75 and at 6.00 odds for Portugal. But for 2 goal difference in favor of Germany the odds are already at 5.00 and 10.00 for Portugal.

The odds on the teams winning from behind are 9.00 for Germany and a whopping 15.00 for Portugal. There’s also a pretty rewarding line of 3.75 for a penalty to be awarded to either teams. Same line is given for a prospect of a red card either to Germany or Portugal.

But the smartest bet is still backing Cristiano Ronaldo to score first: 2.00. His will to find the back of the net will not be under question, and if he does make the starting team, which looks like a pretty certain thing, his chances of scoring first are also pretty high.
