Before you lock in your Germany vs. Spain picks or World Cup 2022 predictions, you need to see what proven soccer insider Martin Green has to say.
After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated almost $35,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
Green knows that the Spaniards come in with tons of confidence after the rout of Costa Rica. They held an astonishing 82% of possession, and holding the ball is their M.O., but they rarely score at such a rate. Ferran Torres scored twice, and Alvaro Morata got a goal after starting on the bench because of illness. The German back line is shaky, and while another seven-goal outburst is unlikely, Spain should get their chances. La Roja did not allow a shot in Wednesday's opener.
Green also has considered that Germany will be desperate and will play with their typical discipline and grit. They also dominated possession and outshot Japan 26-12 (9-4 on target) but gave up two goals on the counter in the final 20 minutes. The likes of Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller and Kai Havertz can still cause a lot of havoc in the German attack, and midfielders Joshua Kimmich and Ilkay Gundogan are elite. Gundogan scored the only goal on a penalty against Japan.
Green has taken a close look at the Spain vs. Germany match from every angle, and we can tell you he is leaning Over on the goal total.
