Germany vs. Colombia picks and predictions
Prediction
Germany 2, Colombia 0
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
Germany is the better side here, and it is among the most technically gifted teams in the world.
However, it was able to get some help from a sloppy Morocco defense, which allowed 2 own goals, so expect a somewhat closer match. At (-450), there is little value in betting Germany to win, but it should be too much better in the final third to bet again.
The books also heavily expected Germany to be the only side to score with BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE NO (-185), which also isn’t worth the juice.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+115).
Both sides showed a strong defensive acumen in their respective opener. Both teams held their opponent scoreless. Colombia allowed just 3 shots on target, which should bode well against a high-octane German attack.
Books already assume Colombia won’t score, and Germany held Morocco to just 4 shots on goal and 25% possession. That might be a similar story Sunday. The last time Germany scored 3 or more goals, before its match with Morocco, was Sept. 6, 2022.
It isn’t necessarily a scoring machine, and Colombia held up well against a top-25 South Korea side. That said, back the UNDER 2.5 (+115).
