The USA have brought a fairly old team to the World Cup, but still without any bright stars, with chief goalkeeper Desmith being Pittsburgh's second choice. Even with this squad, though, the national team are the main favourites for the tournament.
But Germany should certainly not be underestimated, as the team has achieved solid results in recent years. So far Germany have lost their first two games but have played on equal terms with Sweden and Finland. There are a number of NHL players on the squad, and the German championship has improved noticeably in recent years.
Prediction: Germany to score at least 2 goals. We recommend the “1 Over 1.5” bet, odds 1.71
