For Germany, 21-year-old Jamal Musiala has been the star. He’s tied for the Golden Boot lead with three goals on just seven shots. Kai Havertz has added two goals, both from the penalty spot, while midfielders Joshua Kimmich and Ilkay Gundogan have been brilliant in progressing the attack.
While the offenses get the headlines, both defenses have been stout. Spain conceded its only goal of the tournament on an own goal against Georgia, while Germany has allowed just two goals (both to Scotland in a 5-1 victory). Manuel Neuer and Unai Simon are two of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Spain has looked like the slightly better team throughout the tournament, and players like Pedri, Rodri and Fabian Ruiz should be able to cope with Germany’s intense pressing. However, it’s impossible to count out a German side featuring the likes of Musiala, Havertz, Kimmich and Gundogan, especially with the home crowd behind them.
In the end, this match feels destined for extra time and possibly penalties. The betting value lies with the draw at +210 in regular time. For those feeling bold, Germany advancing at -108 could be worth a shot given the home-field advantage if the game does reach extra time or a shootout.
Spain vs Germany Picks:
- Draw (+210)
- Germany to Advance (-108)
