Spain will be looking to build on their impressive start to the World Cup having thrashed Costa Rica 7-0 when they face Germany, who suffered a shock defeat to Japan having taken the lead. The 2010 World Cup winners have an impressive young side at their disposal combined with the experienced Sergio Busquets, they certainly look like potential contenders if they can keep up this f
Luis Enrique's side are priced as the slight favourites at 11/8 with Betfred while Hansi Flick's team are 19/10 and a draw is 13/5. This will be the fifth meeting between Spain and Germany at the World Cup with La Furia Roja winning the most recent encounter 1-0 in the 2010 semi-final on the way to lift the trophy in South Africa.
This match will be seen a must-win for DFB if they have any chance of staying in this World Cup with a Japan win the likely outcome against Costa Rica before this match. Failure to get out of the group stages in Hansi Flick's first full year as the new German head coach will raise some doubts amongst the fanbase while a win for Spain will secure their place in the round of 16 if results go their way.
