Germany v England Betting Preview
Big game for England and their momentum ahead of Euro 2016.

Can the England youngsters take a great confidence-building win on the road on Saturday and confirm themselves as one of the front runners for the Euro 2016 title, or will the Germans show their class and power?

Germany v England Betting Tips
England could be in with a great shot of winning Euro 2016, at least that is what Germany boss Joachim Low seems to think as he has pegged the Three Lions as one of the front runners for the summer. Germany have won the last two matches played against England, the most forgettable one of those being the World Cup 2010 clash when England limped out of the tournament 4-1 and put fans out of their misery. The last time the two old rivals played was in 2013 which was an international friendly meeting that Germany won 1-0. England didn’t manage to get a shot on target during that match. Germany, to some surprise, have lost two of their last three games played. One of them was in Ireland at the end of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign and then they took a loss against France in a friendly last November, on the night of the Paris attacks.
But at home, they have won their last two games, beating Georgia and Poland on home soil. But both of those games highlighted some issues that Germany have at the back. Germany haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last five games and only on one occasion in the last year have they done so, which was against Gibraltar. So not great from them at the back that’s for sure so England should have some chances out in Berlin on Saturday. Germany are a strong attacking side though of course and have more genuine scoring potential than England do. They have Thomas Muller for starters who is 6/5 in the anytime goalscorer market, with Mario Gomez at 7/5 and Marco Reus at 2/1 along with Kevin Volland and Andre Schurrle.
England have won two of their last five games against the Germans. Their last win came on their last visit to Germany which was for a 2008 friendly, when John Terry scored a late winner in a 2-1 win. England had an easy time of things in Euro 2016 qualification and since then, they lost 2-0 against Spain in a friendly but then beat France by the same scoreline, which was hard to read because of it being such an emotional night in the first game for the French after the Paris attacks. England are a team in form having won five of their last six played then (L1) and then took a clean sheet in each of the five wins in that sequence. Tottenham’s Harry Kane is an 11/4 anytime goalscorer for the game and with the German defence leaking goals at the moment it has to be worth going over 2.5 goals for a price of 10/11 with Betfred.

Germany v England Predictions
Hard to say which way this one will swing because Germany are having a few issues at the back whereas England have been pretty sound. Germany have more firepower than England do so it all could a balance out to a draw at the end of the day. It’s well worth having a punt on both teams to score though. A 1-1 Correct Score may have appeal at 6/1.
