Germany vs San Marino - June 10th

Germany will play against San Marino on June 10th in what we can expect to be a very one sided World Cup 2018 Qualifier. Nuremberg will be hosting a likely predictable match between the best team in the world and one of the worst in Europe. With Germany leading the group with 5 wins in 5 matches and only one goal conceded, there isn’t too much to talk about in terms of upsets in this match up. San Marino,  have lost every one of their group games so far, with only one goal scored against Norway.

With the Confederation Cup as the nearest objective, Joachim Low is aiming for some young players to gain international experience prior to the World Cup. This match could serve as something of 'pre-season', but due to the nature of the rival, it’s hard even to see it in this way. Young prospects such as Timo Werner, Julian Brandt and Amine Younes are ones to watch in this match, as they’re making their first steps with the national team. San Marino will have their usual line-up, with most of the team defending Simoncini’s net until the inevitable goal arrives.

This match can be reduced to how many goals Germany will score, on account that they are 1-100 for an outright win. The last encounter ended in a crushing 8-0 defeat for San Marino, and can serve as a comparison point. In this kind of match, betting for the correct score might be the best bet for someone looking for a punt. Although a little riskier, the payoff usually is greater. For example, a hat-trick for Timo Werner has a good payoff  at 5/2, so it might be a good place to look. Enjoy the game!
