\"12-06-2016
\nAs with all German teams, there\u2019s a certain level of expectation for them to rise to and they usually manage it. They\u2019re perennial latter stage competitors and they know how to get the job done in major tournaments. The 2014 World Cup winners will be hoping to end Spain\u2019s grip on the trophy and are third favourites at 9\/2.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s form heading into Euro 2016 is patchy to say the least. They\u2019ve suffered numerous defeats, notably against Republic of Ireland in the qualifiers and more recently Slovakia in a friendly. The German squad has been depleted, with Mats Hummels unavailable until the knockout stages and no Antonio R\u00fcdiger either. Philipp Lahm\u2019s retirement after the World Cup, alongside Miroslav Klose\u2019s has led to gaps in the German team that need filling. Mario Gomez has been recalled, while Thomas M\u00fcller is a prolific tournament goalscorer. He\u2019s the favourite to win the Golden Boot at 7\/1, but hasn\u2019t scored in 5 games in the Euros. The Germans have never lost their opening game at the Euros and are unlikely to do so again, priced at 10\/17 to beat Ukraine. If Gomez isn\u2019t selected upfront, expect Mario G\u00f6tze\u00a0to play in a false-nine position and he\u2019s backed at 41\/20 to score anytime.<\/p>\n

\"Thomas<\/p>\n

Ukraine qualified via a 3-1 aggregate victory over Slovenia in the play offs. They\u2019re in a tough group, however a third place finish is good enough to see them qualify for the knockout stage. A game against Northern Ireland is to come and you\u2019d expect them to qualify at odds of 1\/2. Dynamo Kiev\u2019s Andriy Yarmolenko is their key player. He scored 6 goals in qualifying and is coveted by many of Europe\u2019s big clubs. He\u2019s 17\/2 to score first and 33\/10 to score anytime. Oleksandr Zinchenko is one to watch for the future. He broke Andriy Shevchenko\u2019s record as Ukraine\u2019s youngest scorer. He\u2019s reportedly caught the eye of Pep Guardiola, and although he might not start for Ukraine, he could be someone to come off the bench.<\/p>\n

Match Prediction<\/h4>\n

History tells us that Germany have never lost to Ukraine in their five meetings. Their five meetings though, have produced just 11 goals, meaning that this might not be a high scoring affair. Both sides will be easing their way into the tournament, and with the format the way that it is, a loss for either side is not the end of the world. It wouldn\u2019t be surprising for this game to end as a draw, with odds of 3\/1 on this happening. Expect both sides to score though and 1-1 is priced at 27\/4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
