Germany vs Spain prediction
The winner of this contest, if we have one will go a long way towards determine who will make it through to the semi-finals. Germany and Spain each won twice in the first round of pool play, accumulating seven and six points respectively. That sets things up for what should be a very close game between these two European rivals.
It would be no surprise if we saw a low-scoring game between these two such is the importance of the fixture, not to mention the fact that both teams are solid defensively. The result could go either way, so backing under 4.5 goals looks a shrewd move.
