England vs Germany Predictions

• England have failed to score in four of their last five games.
• Six of Germany’s last seven have seen under 2.5 goals in total.
• The reverse fixture finished 1-1 in Leipzig.

England and Germany both need a pre-World Cup boost

England suffered relegation from the top level of the Nations League following a defeat in Italy on Friday and Germany also head into Monday’s clash between these two rivals licking their wounds.

The Germans suffered a humbling 1-0 loss to Hungary in Leipzig, ending their hopes of reaching the Nations League finals.

Both of these European heavyweights could do with a morale boosting win in their final game before the World Cup but this could end up being a close affair between two sides lacking form and low on confidence.

Goals could be at a premium at Wembley

England’s 1-0 defeat in Italy means they are now winless in their last five, losing three of those games, and they have scored just once during that run.

Boss Gareth Southgate was booed by the travelling fans at the San Siro in Milan on Friday and he will be desperate for some sort of reaction from his players. We may see a better performance from the Three Lions, but given their struggles in front of goal it is hard to back them to win this game.

Germany have won just one of their last six games but their 1-0 loss to Hungary is their only defeat during that run. The Germans have at least been scoring, and their failure to grab a goal on Friday ended a run of 13 consecutive games in which they have scored – going back to last summer’s Euro 2020 defeat to England.

Under 2.5 goals stands out as our main bet in this fixture as there have been fewer than three goals scored in six of Germany’s last seven games and in four of England’s last five.

Repeat result on the cards?

The reverse fixture in June finished 1-1 as Harry Kane’s late penalty cancelled out Jonas Hofmann’s second half opener and I’m predicting another 1-1 draw between these two rivals.

England may have scored just once in five Nations League games so far but they are facing a Die Mannschaft outfit who have conceded in each of their last six games, and four of those have finished 1-1. After both side’s results on Friday, this looks like a ‘must not lose’ rather than a ‘must win’ game for both nations and that may lead to them cancelling each other out.
