Offensive Edge – Germany (+120)

The firepower of the German side was on full display during the team’s preliminary assignments. The Germans have scored 15 goals thus far in the tournament, netting two goals in the opener against Mexico and three more against South Korea.

Then they made it rain like it’s World War 2 all over again when they ended their group play schedule with a merciless 10-0 decimation of lowly Fiji. Manager Horst Hrubesch should be looking for Serge Gnabry and Nils Peterson to deliver anew with the former collecting five goals in Rio so far, while the latter is coming off a five-goal performance in the Fiji match.

Defensive Edge – Portugal (+191)

While the Germans blanked Fiji in their previous outing, it’s pretty much what people should expect from the German side considering the quality of its opponent. Portugal had better showings on the defensive side of the ball in the tournament, having blanked superpower Argentina in a 2-0 victory and limited Honduras to just one goal in a 2-1 win. They also drew with Algeria, 1-1, to cap their group play schedule and secure the top spot in Group D.

Writer’s Prediction: The Germans (+120) get it together on both ends of the field for a 2-1 victory.
