India vs Germany prediction
India and Germany each made it to the second round of pool play but that was as far as they went, the pair having both finished third-place in the second round. India were beaten 2-0 by Netherlands before a goalless draw against Australia sealed their fate. Germany overpowered Spain with a 4-1 win but their defeat at the hands of Belgium left them with too much to do.
This contest will likely be decided by the respective attacks of both teams. India have struggled offensively of late, failing to score in their last two whilst the Germans have scored at least once in all five of their matches played in the tournament and are coming off the back of a four-goal-game. Expect them to overpower India from an attacking standpoint and pick up the victory here.
India vs Germany tip: Germany to win
