USA vs Germany prediction

Germany arrive into this game on an impressive five-match winning streak scoring an average of 3.20 goals per game. With their defence keeping a four clean sheets in their last five outings, including the recent 4-0 victory over Finland last week.

The USA dispatched Senegal 4-2 in their first World Cup warm-up game, netting nine goals across their last three wins.

There is pressure on Mauricio Pochettino to ensure the USMNT give a real account for themselves in their home World Cup.

A run to the quarter finals would be seen as a success. And this match against Germany will be seen as a true test of their credentials.

Julian Nagelsmann may use this match to shuffle his pack. Denis Undav scored a brace against Finland to strengthen his case. But that may mean Nick Woltemade leads the line in this one instead.

Die Mannschaft last won the World Cup in 2014, but failed to advance from the group stages in 2018 and 2022.

With a change in manager since then, their players should be champing at the bit to show their true colours.

USA vs Germany betting tips

Kai to continue to shine?

Kai Havertz has scored some massive goals for his club side Arsenal at the back end of the season. The German scored in the last home game against Burnley, which effectively laid the way for the Gunners to win the league.

He also scored in the Champions League final against PSG last week. Having just arrived into the squad, he may only get a smattering of minutes.

But Havertz will likely be Nagelsmann’s first choice number nine at the World Cup and he’s got the guile to find the net again.

On the spot

Germany have been awarded and scored two penalties in their last six internationals. While USA conceded one in the loss to Belgium back in March.

The 3/1 on a penalty scored in the match looks like top value for a match that is expected to be a very high-intensity, end-to-end encounter.

Especially as both manager’s test out their squad’s ahead of the World Cup, it could present opportunities for both sets of players to exploit.
