Germany v Spain Betting Preview – International Friendly 23rd March

This is one of the big highlights of Friday’s list of international friendly matches. Germany are going to the World Cup’s the joint-favourites alongside Brazil and given the form of the Germans, they are going to receive plenty more backing. Spain are up there in the leading pack as well though, but which one of these can make a nice bold statement for themselves in this Friday night friendly fixture?

Germany v Spain Betting Tips

Germany, who are the current World Cup holders, went through 20127 without suffering a single loss with a W11 D4 record. They played back to back friendly matches against England and France last November and they were held to a draw in both of those games. So it will be interesting to see how they deal with the Spaniards. Timo Werner is Germany’s shortest-priced option with bet365 at 7/4 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 07:27 p.m. on March 19th, 2018) in the anytime goalscorer market and the youngster could be a big star at the World Cup. Germany have rattled off thirteen goals in their three home fixtures and just back in the summer they sent a youth team to the Confederations Cup and won the tournament still.

Spain and Germany have met 22 times before and from those games, Germany are 9-7 ahead with sixteen drawn games. Thirteen of those games have been friendly fixtures and from those, the Germans are 5-4 ahead. The last time they were together in a friendly was in November 2014 which Germany won 1-0 away from home.

Spain also had an unbeaten 2017 which may have gone unnoticed as their progress was pretty much under the radar. That is because most of their matches were winnable ones as they had a really easy World Cup qualification group aside from Italy, who they took four points off anyway. Spain were W8 D2 last year across their matches. They were held to a 3-3 draw against Russia in their last match, an international friendly so they are needing to go out and test themselves against higher quality oppositions. They will go on to face Argentina on March 27th in another big match for them. The Spaniards have found the back of the net regularly enough, and it is Diego Costa who is the 21/10 bet365 outright anytime goalscorer favourite, the former Chelsea man getting called up ahead of Alvaro Morata. Even though they had a lot of easy games last year, they did take a 2-0 win away at France in a friendly.

Germany v Spain Predictions

There may not be too much to choose between them at the end of the day, but of the two, Germany are the ones who carry a greater threat. They are more likely to find the end product at the end of the day as Spain just haven’t had those big tests against better quality opponents for a while.
