The Germany v Portugal odds for this Germany Portugal betting Euro 2008 quarter final see the pre-tournament favourites Germany as underdogs against Portugal in this first quarter final of Euro 2008. Both teams have won two of their three Group matches and both have looked good and bad in so doing. The Germans got off to a great start winning against Poland 2-0 and their odds for the tournament shortened after their impressive display. However one match was clearly not long enough for an assessment and the way they were humbled by Croatia suggests that they are not well enough equipped to win the tournament and they may not be well enough equipped to beat Portugal.

Portugal did what they had to do in Group A, winning their first two games very comfortably and then being able to rest half the team for their final match against co-hosts Switzerland. A game which saw them play poorly and deservedly lose

There were impressive things about Portugal in their first two games; one was that they seem to have goal-scorers galore. They scored five times in qualifying and each by a different player, add this to the clear sense of togetherness within the team/squad and you have a team that is going to be hard to beat when at full strength. It has to be remembered that both these sides expected to win their respective Groups and avoid each other at this stage. That has not happened and now it is a question of who is the best equipped and who will go into the game with the most confidence. We think it will be Portugal, but we say that with a degree of caution as any football fan knows, Germany are not beat until the final whistle blows. Football often produces a quirk of some description and there may well be one here to consider. Michael Ballack to score the goal which knocks his new boss’s team out of Euro 2008? Stranger things have happened and the possibility might be worth a small wager.
