Germany vs. Chile – Confederations Cup – Best Predictions and Tips
Germany and Chile will play each other in their round two Confederations Cup group stage fixture on Thursday. The winner of this game will advance to the semi-finals but even with a draw, the two teams have the 1st chance to qualify in the knock-out stages. Both have started the tournament with positive results (Germany 3-2 Australia; Chile 2-0 Cameroon) and it looks like their two opponents (Cameroon and Australia) can’t compete with them for a place in the semi-finals. Germany’s “B team” is full of young talented players that can make the difference and win you matches. This competition is their best chance to show their coach what they are capable of and win their spot in the 1st XI for the World Cup next year. Germany started strong the 1st match against Australia but their lack of experience made them lose important scoring opportunities. On the other side, Chile arrived at the Confederations Cup with their best squad with Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal amongst other important players. Bayern’s Munich’s Arturo Vidal was the man of the match scoring a goal in their 2-0 victory against Cameroon. At the beginning of the competition, we were expecting Germany and Chile to dominate their group and fight for the trophy. Well, they might face some issues in the semi-finals but we expect them to meet each other once again in the final.
Germany’s youngsters have shown exceptional qualities exiting without problems from their defense when they were under pressure, controlling the pace all match long and showing good team effort. Nobody was expecting Australia to score twice against Die Mannschaften and put them so many problems. This time they should be careful because Chile are an experienced side with fantastic players and if you give them spaces they will score. These two sides have met just once before this clash with Germany winning 1-0 thanks to Mario Gotze’s goal. We expect another type of game, a more exciting one as the stakes will now be higher. Chile has scored 11 goals in their last five matches while Germany has netted 13 in their last four fixtures.
From the 1st round of fixtures we were expecting goals and it’s clear that the teams are not here to defend. We wish to see a thrilling match with goals from both squads and of course with at least three goals in the match. Germany is priced at 2.8 with the green listed bookmaker Bet365 to win the match. But I think we shouldn’t concentrate on the winners market as both teams have their chance to win this contest. Best picks for the match:
