Germany vs Chile
I had an inkling this will be the Confederations Cup final we’ll be seeing when they met in Group B, and I feel validated to be proven right.
Football betting fans are in for a treat when defending World Cup champions Germany square off against South American juggernauts Chile for the Confederations Cup. If you’re still unsure on who you should bet online for, let me help you with a couple spoonfuls of facts and analysis.
Credit must be given to Joachim Low and Germany’s attackers: the Nationalelf sat atop Group B with seven points and seven goals. They tied with Portugal for the most goals scored in the competition. Players such as Julian Draxler, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Timo Werner are young stars that can easily outrun the very veteran squad Pizzi brought along with him.
However, it is vital to note that Portugal’s red-hot scoring streak was abruptly stopped by Chile in the semi-final. A Selecção held less of the ball and were forced to settle for wide shot attempts. The defence did well in stopping Cristiano Ronaldo and Andre Silva from wreaking havoc in front of their goal.
Both nations have their share of players that enjoy success in Europe. Lars Stindl and Sandro Wagner are the veteran players in a locker of talented young Germans. Besides Draxler, Kimmich and Werner, Germany’s young squad boast the likes of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Emre Can, Niklas Sule and Shkodran Mustafi.
La Roja achieved considerable success with their very experienced team. Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal are the names that pop out the most to the casual fan, but Chile have more than enough talented vets to hold the team together. Claudio Bravo and Mauricio Isla lead the defence, Celta Vigo’s Pablo Hernandez and Marcelo Diaz join Charles Aranguiz in bolstering the midfield, and ex-Hoffenheim attacker Eduardo Vargas is prowling on the final third.
This case study of Energy-Versus-Experience is a must-watch for football academics and betting fans worldwide. Given how their group match went, I think Chile have the slight edge. No amount of running and energetic passing can overcome experience, and Chile got the latter in spades. Unless Joachim Low addresses his squad’s defensive weaknesses, I see Chile winning this one.
My tip is a 🌟🌟 bet for Chile +0.25 @ 1.80. Best of luck to your bets!
