England vs Germany prediction

Any time England and Germany play each other it’s an exciting time, no matter what age group and the winner of this one will finish top of Group B. However, it is a significantly more important game for Lee Carsley’s side and they’ll need to show significantly more cutting edge in front of goal compared to what we saw against Slovenia. Whilst England created plenty of chances, putting the ball in the net eluded the young Lions.

Germany have already racked up seven goals across the group stage so far, conceding twice at the other end. All signs put to a potentially high scoring contest and with the outcome not easy to call, backing over 2.5 goals over the course of 90 minutes is well worth considering this time around.
