England had a relatively reserved start to their campaign. They scored two goals in their three matches in the group. Both of these were scored by Raheem Sterling which makes him a threat in front of the goal. Bukayo Saka will likely be dropped in favour of Phil Foden even though he had a good game against the Czech.
Gareth Southgate is said to be seriously considering a formation change to a back three against the Germans. Trippier and Shaw should be the first choices to start as wing-backs, with Kyle Walker tucking into the defence alongside Stones and Maguire. Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell will only return to training from their 7-day quarantine on the day of the fixture, which all but rules them out.
Germany secured qualification with a late equaliser from Leon Goretzka - it might not be enough to get him a start here, but it still qualifies him as a goal threat. Kai Havertz played a crucial role in unlocking the Hungarian defence; he could be the potential difference-maker for Germany against a stubborn English defence.
German fans were happy to see Muller, Hummels and Gundogan playing against Hungary even though their fitness levels were doubtful. Thomas Muller will start, benching Leroy Sane, who had a relatively disappointing outing against the Hungarians. Klostermann and Hoffman are also out with injuries, but the likelihood of them starting were minimal.
From our analysis, 888sport seems to be the bookie providing relatively higher odds favouring an English win in 90 mins at 6/4. Germany to win is at 19/10, and draw at the end of the 90 comes to 9/4. The odds of qualification stands at 3/4 for England and 1/1 for Germany; this is a safer bet when you consider England's results in their recent knockout matches. Both teams to score at odds of 4/5 is an exciting market to explore given the fixture's importance, the teams' quality, and their recent form.
Both the teams will be looking for an early goal to bamboozle their opponents. England are solid in defence, as we have seen in the past four weeks. However, both teams will have to work very hard to penetrate each other’s goal line. What is interesting is that now with five substitutions allowed per match, England’s superior bench strength is going to come into play in the later stages of the game. Hence, the Three Lions should take home the win from this England vs Germany Euro 2020 tie. However, it is going to be a very neck to neck match, which may be decided past the scheduled 90 minutes. Hence, 888sport’s odds of 3/4 for England to qualify is our pick for the game.
