The bookmakers don't favour many goals in this one though, that much is apparent, with the over/under on goals at 2.5. The under is priced at a very short 1.47 while over 2.5 goals is listed at 2.6.
I think if England can get their players to step up, and that includes you-know-who, then I think they are the favoured side here. I think if England can start with some verve and put the Germans on the back foot then they should take this one. Trying to defend a 1-0 result could prove disastrous though.
