USMNT vs. Germany predictions
Goal.com: Germany 2, US 1
The site writes: “The United States’ opening clash with Paraguay is just over a week away, and they’ll want to start the tournament strongly. Defeating Germany will not define their tournament chances, but it does present an excellent opportunity to test themselves. A strong performance in Illinois could be massive for Pochettino and his players.
“Regardless of the exact lineups, we expect the German team to prove too strong for their opponents in Chicago. An away victory seems highly probable.”
Sports Mole: Germany 2, US 1
The site writes: “An end-to-end, high-intensity contest could be in store between these two in-form nations, though Germany enter the weekend as distinct favourites. USA have the tools to breach Germany’s backline, but Nagelsmann’s men possess greater overall strength and we are backing them to prevail in this World Cup dress rehearsal.”
NBC Sports: Germany 2, US 1
The site writes: “This feels like Germany will have a little too much in attack for the USMNT and will get the job done off the bench.”
Sportskeeda: Germany 2, US 1
The site writes: “Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann uses a high press and has managed to get the most out of his creative players, including Musiala and Wirtz, by relying on quick transitions to create goalscoring opportunities.
”The USA are likely to adopt a compact defensive block while using their pace on the wings through stars like Pulisic to trouble the Germany defense on the counterattack. This should be a high-intensity game, but we expect Germany to edge the win.”
