Germany vs Argentina Prediction & Betting tips
For a lifetime, the Germans will connect Argentina with the World Cup final of 2014 in Brazil. Even today, the images of Mario Götze’s Torjubel, Bastian Schweinsteiger’s cut or Christopher Kramer’s knock-out are as present as if the final of the Gold Cup was not five, but a maximum of two years in the past. Strictly speaking, it would be time to write a new story.
Whether this, however, finds its beginning on Wednesday evening in the Dortmund Signal Iduna Park, may be doubted, because on the one hand it is just a friendly game and on the other hand, numerous top performers will not be available. Nonetheless, the DFB-Elf will face Germany vs. Germany. Argentina acted as favorites according to bookmakers’ odds.
For national coach Jogi Löw the friendly match against the South Americans at the same time as the last endurance test before the final qualifier this coming Sunday in Estonia. There, the Germans want to take the next step towards the European Championship 2020 and claim the lead in Group C.
Accordingly, it will be interesting to see whether Löw, who has not always been positively eyed on all sides, uses the friendly game to give numerous youngsters or debutants the chance to present themselves on the international stage. Even in this case, we face the prediction that a tip on the home win by far the most likely and lucrative alternative is by far the classic football Germany against Argentina.
Germany :
After the World Cup title in 2014 Jogi Löw was considered a coach of the German national team as inviolable. Millions of compatriots would have preferred to build a monument to the south German homeland for the Swabians. The standing has in recent years, however, especially under the embarrassing exit at the 2018 World Cup, suffered extremely.
In the summer of the previous year, many Germans would have liked to see a new strong man on the sideline, in order to actually underline the proclaimed upheaval. The critical voices have not become less in the now almost one and a half years after the World Cup, quite the contrary.
Loew was due to his unpopular measure, Boateng, Hummels and Müller from the DFB team to “throw”, taken very seriously, especially since especially Mats Hummels delivered in the wake of this decision strong performances and the newly installed center-back (except Niklas Süle) could not really convince.
Additional need for discussion was last in the goalkeeper discussion. The Bavarians responsible for Uli Hoeneß had echauffiert about that in the Federal Republic at all the question is asked for the number one.
Main responsibility for this would be the DFB, who would not have made it clear that Manuel Neuer undisputed keeper. Ultimately, however, we believe that this debate has been over-hyped in the media.
By the way, on Wednesday evening Marc Andre ter Stegen will be guarding the case of the world champion of 2014. Manuel Neuer is set for next Sunday in the significantly more important competitive match in Estonia. In general, it can be assumed that the DFB-Elf will play a very different role than the recent 2-0 win in Northern Ireland.
This is, of course, due to the fact that Löw does not want to take any additional risk of losing other regular players due to injury. On the other hand, it is also the case that many players had to cancel anyway. A total of ten potential regular players are not available on Wednesday. Joining Ilkay Gündogan and Timo Werner are two more injured professionals.
This should be the chance for some debutants. Luca Waldschmidt, Niklas Stark, Nadiem Amiri, Robin Koch or Suat Serdar are all about to make their first appearance in the national dress of the A-team. For this reason, it is certainly understandable that you can compare before the match Germany vs. Argentina makes more intense thoughts about a forecast. Nevertheless, we would all certify the newcomers the quality that it takes to play an important role in a functioning collective.
Statistically home games were not always successful in the calendar year 2019. Of the three matches in front of home crowd, the Germans won only in the first leg against Estonia (8: 0). In addition, there was the bitter 2: 4 defeat against Holland and the disappointing 1: 1 draw against Serbia. It was noticeable that especially the new defensive is far from having such a firm fit to Argentina to aim for a “to-zero-success” of the home side.
Argentina:
While the German national team uses the test match against a renowned opponent – as mentioned – to prepare for the upcoming tasks in the European Championship qualification, the “gauchos” have their highlight in this calendar year behind them.
In the summer, however, it missed the “Albiceleste” once again to win the Copa America. In a dramatic semi-final, Lionel Messi and Co. defeated the Brazilian rivals 0-2 and finally took third place thanks to a success in the “small final”.
Before the qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar begin in March 2020, there are still a few tests on the program. After the match in Dortmund, the Argentinians are heading straight to the Spanish Elche, where another international match against neutral Ecuador is planned.
Looking at the entire international match year 2019, then are the South Americans – similar to the DFB team – in a change. Many deserving players have ended their careers in recent years; In addition, a rejuvenation cure was also initiated in the country of the Vice World Champion of 2014.
The new way is to pretend with Lionel Scaloni a coach who worked so far only as an assistant coach on a world level. By results, there is still room for improvement. Only six of the eleven matches have been won. Footballers could convince one hundred percent the “Gauchos” even more rarely.
Anyone who had hoped to see Lionel Messi play football at Signal Iduna Park for the second time in a few weeks on Wednesday, will be disappointed because the newly crowned world football player is still missing due to a controversial red card during the Copa America. Although the blue-and-white stripes have a lot of individual quality even without their leader, we were surprised by the numerous unknown names in the squad.
Emblematic of the turnaround is the personality Leonardo Balerdi. The only 20-year-old central defender has been playing for Borussia Dortmund since winter, but so far has not played in the Bundesliga.
Otherwise, Scaloni relies more on players who earn their living in the domestic league. Only in the offensive are there with Dybala or Lautaro Martinez two absolute shooting stars of world-class level, on which it is important to watch. Certainly, the squad, in which Marcos Rojo is just a pro from the 2014 World Cup finals, but one of the reasons why between Germany and Argentina, the lower odds in favor of the DFB-Eleven are offered.
