World Cup Betting: Ballack can strike first

Two of the main contenders for the Golden Boot meet today as Miroslav Klose and Hernan Crespo face each other in Berlin. The Tote offer 13-5 that Crespo scores more goals in the match and 3-1 that Klose comes out on top. The tie is 4-6.

With Klose and his striking partner, Lukas Podolski, likely to be well shepherded by Argentina's defence, Michael Ballack may be a better bet to score first. He is on offer at a generous 10-1 with Ladbrokes.
