Antoine Griezmann, who is currently Euro 2016&#8217;s leading scorer with four goals, has flourished since playing\u00a0in the middle off of\u00a0Olivier Giroud. Giroud and Dimitri Payet both have three goals apiece, while midfielder Paul Pogba has also grown stronger as the tournament has worn on.<\/p>\n<p>Germany at full strength has the talent to match France, but <em>Die Mannschaft<\/em> will be without main striker Mario Gomez for the remainder of the Euros after suffering a hamstring injury against Italy. That position has been a problem for manager Joachim Low. Mario Gotze struggled mightily in that position during the first two games. Meanwhile, Thomas Muller and is having\u00a0a\u00a0very quiet tournament\u00a0so far and is still goalless in his career at the Euros.<\/p>\n<h3>Defensive Edge \u2013 Germany (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/uefa-euro-2016\/semi-finals\" target=\"_blank\">+175<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Germany will be missing some key pieces on defense. Starting center-back Mats Hummels is suspended, while defensive midfielder Sami Khedira is unlikely to feature after an early injury against Italy. But despite those absentees, they should still have the edge defensively against France.\u00a0The Germans have capable replacements that can fill the void. They also have a bit more tactical astuteness about them, which is a big reason why they have yet to concede a single goal from open play all tournament long.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, defense remains the main weakness for the French side.\u00a0Defensive midfielder N&#8217;Golo Kante is back from suspension, but with the 4-2-3-1 formation working so well against Iceland, manager Didier Deschamps could be unlikely to revert to the 4-3-3 and accommodate Kante. The unexperienced Samuel Umtiti, who started in place of the suspended Adil Rami at center-back,\u00a0could also be a big liability if he retains his place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writer\u2019s Prediction:
