Germany vs Belgium prediction
Germany held their nerve to defeat USA by three goals to one, which booked their place in the second round. They face Belgium, who did enough to get through Pool C as table toppers despite proving fairly inconsistent offensively. They left it late to get the better of Ireland in their last game, but an Ambre Ballenghien goal at the death won the day.
This is expected to prove a close encounter, especially if Belgium cannot step up a gear compared to what we saw in the first round. We’re likely to see a tight battle as both prioritise a solid defence and not giving anything away to the opposition. With that in mind, consider backing under 4.5 total goals across the match.
Germany vs Belgium tip: Under 4.5 goals
