Germany vs France prediction

Germany demonstrated their class with a two-period blitz against Japan which saw them rack up five points over the course of the opening two periods. They then proceeded to close the game out efficiently, not conceding in the third. France will need to be prepared for an early blitz here but their defence has hardly inspired confidence in this tournament so far.

As it stands, France are the only team to have lost three matches and are looking very much like a side who won’t make it to the knockout stage. The expectation is that Germany will add to the French misery and inflict another defeat upon them, making it back-to-back victories for ‘The Eagle Carriers’ in the process.
