Northern Ireland v Germany: Betting Preview

Northern Ireland and Germany face off in Paris this evening and both teams have something to play for in their last group game.

Michael O'Neil's Northern Ireland have defied expectations so far in France and a point this evening would secure them a place in the knockout stages as one of the best third placed teams.

They played well in their opener against Poland despite falling to a 1-0 defeat. In hindsight, they were perhaps a little too reserved and should have gone forward more rather than sit back and try to soak up the Polish pressure.

They certainly didn't make the same mistake in their second game against Ukraine, where they looked exceptional in their 2-0 victory.

Northern Ireland have got a tough task ahead of them however, and they must get something against the World Champions at PSG's Parc des Princes this evening.

Germany haven't blown anyone away yet but aside from couple nervy moments in their 0-0 draw with Poland, they haven't been troubled either. A win tonight would see them finish Group C as winners and most importantly give them a more favourable draw in the next round.

It'd be fairy tale story if Northern Ireland were to get something from this game and guarantee progression in to the knockout stages but we think that the Germans might have a little too much depth and quality in their squad for them.

There's not much value in the Germany win at 1/3 but we expect Germany could win this one comfortably and the Germany -1 handicap is certainly worth looking at at 21/20.

Thomas Muller was heavily backed to finish the tournament's top scorer coming in to Euro 2016 and it's surely a matter of time before he gets off the mark. The Bayern Munich hitman is 6/5 to score anytime.
