Sporting Index and IG Index, the largest bookmakers, expect the match to be several times busier than an FA Cup Final, thanks to the importance of today's encounter and the needle between the two teams. Bookies are likely to make profits if the numbers of goals and bookings in the match are low, since punters usually make more up-bets than down-bets. Last week's 8-0 win for Germany over Saudi Arabia cost Sporting Index £300,000, the most it has lost on a football match.
