United States vs Germany prediction
After doing all the hard work to come from two goals behind against Argentina, Germany threw it away in dramatic fashion, conceding a third late on to lose 3-2, leaving them on just three points after two rounds of fixtures in Pool B compared to Argentina and USA’s four points respectively. United States know that just avoiding defeat here will be enough to reach the next round.
When taking into account a draw does the job for USA, expect them to prioritise defence and solid foundation at the back, making themselves as hard as possible to break down. This could lead to a frustrated Germany and a match that doesn’t flow as much as a neutral would want with USA trying to take the sting out of proceedings. With this in mind, consider backing under 4.5 goals in a low-scoring affair.
United States vs Germany tip: Under 4.5 total goals
