 Pim Verbeek’s Socceroos couldn’t have been handed a tougher opening 2010 World Cup game, or could they? Whilst you will hear plenty of “Never underestimate the Germans” they are without influential midfielder Michael Ballack, do not have an experienced or reliable goalkeeper to call upon and the squad is plagued by internal squabbling.

And so Australia may indeed have a very good chance of getting off to a positive start against the Germans. Early preparations have gone well as a shaky 2-1 win over New Zealand was followed up by a more assured 1-0 victory over Denmark, Josh Kennedy scoring against the Danes to net his seventh in just 18 starts for the Socceroos.

However, it is still unclear as to whether Kennedy will even make it into the starting 11 as Harry Kewell continues his return from fitness. Kewell is still believed to Verbeek’s first choice striker in his preferred 4-5-1 formation. Kennedy can be backed at $11.0 to open the scoring and Kewell at $9.0.

With tough games against Ghana and Serbia to come it is important that neither team loses this opening game, odds of $3.80 on the draw with Centrebet looks to be a good value bet. If you’re looking to back Australia then using the Draw No Bet market might be the wisest option with Sportsbet.com.au offering a generous $5.0.

And the final word goes to the goals betting. Neither team wasted much time in getting out of the blocks in the 2006 World Cup with the Germans winning their opening game 4-2 against Costa Rica and Australia beating Japan 3-1. Over 2.5 goals can be backed $1.95 with Bet365 and looks to be the best bet of the match.
