Spain crushed Costa Rica in 1 of the more impressive 1st game displays. The No. 7 team in FIFA’s world rankings scored 7 goals on 8 shots on target while controlling possession for 82% of the time and holding Costa Rica without a single shot.
F Ferran Torres was the only player for Spain to score multiple times as 6 players managed to find the back of the net. The Spanish experience and poise looked better than ever.
Germany didn’t have similar success. FIFA’s No. 11-ranked team is considered one of the best teams in the tournament, but it lost 2-1 to Japan in their 1st game and now have their backs against the wall.
Germany had more than double the shots as Japan (26-12) and had 5 more shots on target (9-4). However, the only German goal was a penalty kick from M Ilkay Gundogan.

Prediction
Spain 1, Germany 1
Moneyline (ML)
LEAN DRAW (+275).
Most of the action here should come on Spain and rightfully so. While Germany didn’t struggle in their opener, they did lose. They had 74% of possession and more than double the shots and shots on goal.
With GK Manuel Neuer and an extremely talented midfield, Germany should be able to limit Spain. Germany must get a result to stay in the tournament.
Spain is talented and has an equally impressive midfield, but considering what Germany needs and the passion they should be playing with, expect their side to push for any points.
I think they’ll get something here, and the Draw (+275) is the best money line value.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+115).
The midfield is the strength for both sides as Spain has experience and poise in M Sergio Busquets. M Gavi, at 18 years old, is also a budding star. Expect his touch to help Spain.
While both teams did get 15-plus shots in their 1st game, the defense, and more specifically the goal keepers, should be of much higher class and help limit the goals.
Leading into the tournament, Spain’s only real competition in 2022 was a pair of matches against Portugal and Switzerland in which those games would have been 1-3 O/U.
This should be an intense game with quality touches and solid defending. I would back the Under 2.5 (+115) here.
