USMNT vs. Germany picks and predictions
Prediction
Germany 3, USA 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET GERMANY (-120).
While the United States has been in good form recently, it has not played as high caliber of teams as it will see when facing Germany. On the contrary, Germany is coming off of a statement win against France. The USMNT will certainly be looking to make some noise Saturday in front of its home crowd, but Germany outmatches the U.S. on both offense and defense, pointing towards a German victory.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 2.5 (-165).
Three of the last 4 meetings between these teams have resulted in more than 2.5 goals. With German attackers in Muller, Sane and F Niclas Fullkrug, Germany’s leading scorer with 4 goals in 5 matches, the U.S. defense will have its hands full. On the other side of the pitch, U.S. forwards Brandon Vazquez and Ricardo Pepi have been impactful on the score sheets, which will assist the Over in hitting. Expect a scoring thriller on Saturday.
