Argentina forward Javier Saviola claims his team have a 60-40 chance of winning their World Cup quarter-final clash with Germany.

Jose Pekerman's side take on the host nation in Berlin on Friday with a place in the last four at stake, and despite Germany's home advantage Saviola believes the balance is tilted in Argentina's favour.

"I think we have a 60% chance (of victory)," he said. "I'll give slightly more to us than to Germany. If we can impose our style of play, it will be very difficult for them to beat us."
