USMNT vs Germany Friendly Odds & Betting Tips

In its final tune up before the start of the World Cup, the United States Men’s National Team will tangle with global powerhouse Germany in an international friendly on June 6. The U.S. got a confidence boosting win over Senegal last week putting a pair of March losses behind them.

Listed among the top 7 favorites to win the upcoming World Cup, Germany enters this contest on an 8-match winning streak having tallied 26 goals in that span. The Germans are No. 10 in the most recent FIFA men’s world rankings.

Public Betting Odds Factors

• Team USA’s 3-2 win over Senegal on March 31 was a relief for Coach Mauricio Pochettino. The squad sat on a pair of disheartening losses in the March window getting outscored 7-2 by Portugal and Belgium.
• The Americans flirted with different lineup combinations in their most recent friendlies and we are likely to see more of the same with several positions reportedly still to be decided. With this being the final match before World Cup competition begins Pochettino is out of time.
• We typically see plenty of experimentation in a friendly right before the World Cup. While certain areas and players will be evaluated, it’s anticipated that Pochettino will play his strongest available lineup at least for the first half to better simulate a World Cup match.
• The most prolific offensive threat on Team USA finally got off the schneid in the team’s last match. Christian Pulisic is expected to supply goals in the World Cup and he finally got one in the Senegal match, ending a drought that extended for five months. Pulisic also added an assist on Sergino Dest’s marker.
• Defense remains a concern for the Americans and needs to be addressed one last time before the World Cup. USA conceded seven goals in two March losses allowing way too much time and space in front of their net. The challenge on Sunday will be trying to slow down Germany’s fluid attack.
• Germany is in fine pre-World Cup form having beaten Switzerland and Ghana in the March window and blanking Finland 4-0 in its most recent match. The victories extended Germany’s streak to eight in a row.
• Young playmakers Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala, who each tallied a marker against Finland, will look to take advantage of breakdowns by the U.S. defense. Containing those two increases the Americans chance of success.

USMNT vs. Germany Predictions

• Germany suffered a potentially huge loss in their match with Finland when Deniz Undav was escorted off the pitch shortly after scoring his second goal of the game. Looking to avoid any more fitness issues I think we can count on Coach Julian Nagelsmann to play it safe. 
• The U.S. hasn’t shied away from playing top-level competition in their pre-World Cup matches. They took on FIFA World top 10s Portugal and Belgium in March and beat then-No. 12 Senegal last week. Historically the USMNT has had a difficult time against top tier opponents. Germany enters ranked No. 10.

USMNT vs. Germany Betting Tips

• Soccer betting odds favor Germany by a significant margin with an implied win probability of around 59 percent. That does give value to the Americans, though, with matches like this always unpredictable.
• Given Team USA’s shaky defensive line against teams that counter and press, and Germany’s current run of goal scoring, backing the OVER on 2.5 is a smart play.
• With Christian Pulisic finding the back of the net and the recent play of Folarin Balogun, Sergino Dest and Ricardo Pepi getting at least one goal is a probable outcome. Drop a dime on the BTTS wager.

USMNT vs. Germany Head to Head and Key Stats

• Five of the last seven encounters between the nations have gone OVER the 2.5-goal total.
• Though draws are a common outcome in soccer, the US and Germany have never played to one in their 12 all-time hookups.
