YOU’RE probably fed up betting on international friendlies by now but Germany v England is always played competitively.

Their meeting in Berlin is a friendly in name only and should be a cracking contest and hopefully with plenty of goals.

Picking a winner isn’t easy as neither side will want to lose ahead of the Euro 2016 finals where both nations are expected to go well. England will be less experienced with the likes of Danny Rose making his first start and Jack Butland in for the injured Joe Hart.

Roy Hodgson has named his team and it's: Butland, Clyne, Rose, Cahill, Smalling, Henderson, Dier, Welbeck, Alli, Lallana and Kane.

We know from the qualifiers how leaky the Germans were. Scotland scored against them home and away and their only clean sheet in the past year was against Gibraltar.

Joachim Low’s men have conceded seven in their last five outings against France, Georgia, Ireland, Scotland and Poland since beating Gib 7-0.

The only time England failed to score in the last 12 months was a tough friendly defeat in Spain. Both teams to score pays 10-11 at William Hill and Ladbrokes while over 2.5 goals is a tad bigger at 19-20 (bet365).

World champions Germany look to have a stronger squad on paper with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Marco Reus, Thomas Muller, Max Kruse and Mario Gotze all involved.

England have Raheem Sterling and Wayne Rooney as well as Hart but there is plenty of youthful energy in the side.

Harry Kane will lead the line and the Spurs star is 8-1 at Paddy Power to score first and 3-1 at Ladbrokes to net at any time.

My first choice would be Muller – the scourge of the Scots – who is 5-1 with Coral to break the deadlock and 6-4 at 888sport to net at any time.

Kane is 9-4 with bet365 to finish as top England scorer at Euro 2016 and that looks a decent bet.

Drinkwater has been cut to evens by bet365 to make the final cut for Euro 2016 with Rose 4-7. Daniel Sturridge is an interesting one at 2-5 – and surely he’ll be on the plane if fully fit.

    Looking at that England defence Germany should score.4 Spurs players in that English side too who failed v Dortmund but on a positive have quality up top.

    from a forum about the game a few days ago :

    “I’m looking at these three (current odds with Coral)

    Goal in both halves – 4/5

    Germany -1 handicap – 33/20

    First half result, Germany – 6/5”

    I’m going with the goal in both halves, although it’s come in to 3/4 with Coral. Gonna twosie it up with another GIBH @ FC Legirus Inter v Mariehamn in the Finnish Suomen Cup at 1pm today.

    Goal In Both Halves Double 13/8 with Coral.

    Vardy not playing today, Henderson and lallana starting so doesn’t fill me with optimism.
    If it was Drinkwater and vardy playing with Kane would fancy England to net. But the hodgesaurus would rather play them against a team that’s not qualified in Holland on Tuesday, rather than play the in form players v world champions Germany today.
    1 or 2-0 for the Bosch for me with Muller 1st scorer.
