Germany takes on Spain in the second 2010 Football World Cup semifinal in Durban on Wednesday evening.
Germany has been the form team at the World Cup to date, and Spain will need to find its best form to put away the Germans and reach the World Cup final.

Germany vs. Spain Betting Tips
Spain is the favourite to beat Germany, with Betfair offering the best price of 13/8 on the Spanish win. Germany is trading as high as 19/10 at William Hill while you can back the draw at 23/10 at Bodog.
Germany is overpriced for this match considering the superb form it has shown of late. The young German team seems to have a knack for cracking even the strongest defence, and we don’t expect them to treat the Spanish with undue respect on Wednesday evening.
With this in mind we’re going with a lay bet on an underpriced Spain at Betfair, banking on the German win with a bet that will also pay out if the match produces a draw.
