[Friendly] Armenia +0.5 [+102]
Greece against Armenia in a friendly played in Austria. The Greeks will play their typical stifling/boring defensive match which normally leads to a close match and potential for a draw. Armenia prefers an open, attacking style - so it will be interesting to see how they respond. Greece has not won a match since qualifiers for EuroCup. They have three draws and a loss since then. Main question for Armenia is their goal keeping as they have resorted to using an older keeper after their first choice keeper fell out of favor with the manager. I think if Armenia isn't afraid to probe the Greek defense some, this has the potential to be a match where they can earn a result. If they shy away from attacking - then Greece will always have a chance to snatch the one goal that could make a difference.
[Friendly] Germany-Israel Over 3.5 [-130]
Germans getting a lot of key cogs back into their attack today with the return of their Bayern Munich players who were out against the Swiss on the weekend. The Germans still scored three with those players out, but conceded five. The Israelis lost to a weak Czech side 2-1 on the weekend and I expect their defense will have some problems with the attack of the Germans. Think the Germans win here, but the handicap @ -2 seems like it could be right on the mark. I think if Israel scores, this gets done with the Germans blowing in multiple goals.
