Germany vs Spain Prediction & Betting tips
On the way to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the German national football team bakes no small rolls and tests right at the beginning of the World Cup year against the Spanish and Brazilian national teams, which are naturally next to the team of Germany coach Joachim Loew to the title contenders. The prelude is the DFB-Elf on Friday (23.03., 20:45 clock) in the already sold-out Düsseldorf “Esprit Arena” against La Furia Roja.
The direct comparison speaks with nine to seven wins just for the Germany team (9/6/7), but not the recent record in which the Spanish team has prevailed with three to two wins more often. Here were for the German soul the 0: 1 in the European Championship finals 2008 and the end in the semifinals of the 2010 World Cup, especially painful. In the upcoming test match we expect but just like the bookmakers a narrow victory of the DFB-Elf and over 2.5 goals. A corresponding special bet offers Tipico with a quota of 3.80, which we play with seven units.
Germany:
The German national team is reigning world champion, won the Confederations Cup last year with a “B-Elf” and is in first place in the Fifa World Ranking. The last defeat of the team of football national coach Joachim Löw – in the European Championship semifinal 2016 against France (0: 2) – is now almost two years back. Since then, the DFB-Elf won 16 out of a total of 21 games. The qualifying for the upcoming World Cup in Russia completed the Löw-Elf for the first time with ten wins from ten games and a superior goal difference of 43: 4 almost effortlessly.
After the extremely successful qualification for the World Cup, Joachim Löw already looked for two decent challenges at the end of the year and found them in the national teams of England and France. Against England, the DFB team offered at least in the first half an appealing performance, but built after restarting noticeably from and had luck in the end to save the goalless draw over time. An opposite course took the game against the French selection. After a moderate first 45 minutes Löw-Elf put in two halftime and rewarded in stoppage time with the well-deserved equalization to 2-2 final score.
Spain:
The Spanish national team was in the years 2008 to 2012, the measure of things and won two times the European Championship and once the World Cup trophy. This era ended but promptly at the 2014 World Cup, where La Furia Roja already retired in the preliminary round. Also at the European Championships 2016, things did not get much better. Here came the end against Italy in the second round. The previous World Cup qualification won the Spain selection with a 9-1-0 balance and a goal difference of 14: 2. Here, the team of Julen Lopetegui, who took over the sporting direction two years ago, also took revenge on Italy, who were known to have finished second in the playoff games and there eliminated Sweden.
The Spanish selection went a little different way last year than the German team. In the first test, the national team of Costa Rica was dealt 5: 0. Doubts about the sovereign success let the Lopetegui-Elf at no time pay. For the last test, the Spaniards traveled to Russia and played in St. Petersburg against the upcoming World Cup hosts. However, the performance after six previous wins in a row was a bit meager, so the game ended with a 3: 3 draw.
