Germany vs. Ghana betting (June 21st)

Thomas Mller won the Golden Boot in South Africa four years ago, and he continued his prolific International goal scoring record with a hat-trick against Portugal in their opening game. The Bayern Munich forward is currently 3.690* to leave Brazil as the tournament’s highest scorer.

The Germans looked dangerous against Portugal and are now considered the second favourites, behind Brazil. They will now face Ghana – who they beat 1-0 at South Africa 2010 – in Fortaleza on June 21st.

Another Germany win is available at 1.319*
on the 1×2 at Pinnacle Sports – a 75.82% implied probability, while bettors can get 10.790* on Ghana. There were four goals in Germany’s opening game and three in Ghana’s. The OVER/UNDER Total Goals has been set at 3, with odds of 1.962* offered either side.

USA vs. Portugal betting (June 22nd)

There will be contrasting emotions for these two nations based on their opening Group G results. Portugal are on the brink of elimination after suffering a 4-0 defeat to Germany, while they will also be without Pepe who was shown a straight red card for violent conduct.

Meanwhile, the Americans will be delighted with their late 2-1 win over Ghana; an 86th minute header by John Brooks gave them a valuable three points. Interestingly the USA may have a psychological edge over Portugal, knowing they beat them 3-2 in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea.

Despite that result, Portugal are the favourites and are available at 1.820* on the 1×2, while USA can be backed at 4.930*. Cristiano Ronaldo will hope to lead A Seleco to a victory and three points, knowing that their qualification hangs in the balance.

USA are currently being offered at 2.060* to advance from the Group, with Portugal at 2.300*.
