Spain is armed with fourteen players from the European championship team, 11 of which played in the final match. These players include forward David Villa, who was the leading goals scorer then and is positioned to finish as such now, as well as midfielders Xavi, Andrés Iniesta and Xabi Alonso, the core of the team. Their experience and familiarity with each other are obvious in their passing combinations and intricate and well placed attacks.
Spain’s style of play has been remarkably different to that of Germany in the World Cup so far. The narrow victories over Portugal and Paraguay have solidified Spain’s advancement. Many thanks to Villa’s boot and his unwavering focus on the field; however, Spain is far from achieving intimidating wins like Germany. It could be said that Spain has not been playing in top form, but at the same time their resilience demonstrates just how great they are.
If Spain turns on the heat, like we all know they can, then Germany will be handed an agonizing defeat.
Football betting has reached new levels in this world cup with the underdog defeating the odds in nearly every group. This match is an extension of the type of exciting and unpredictable matches thus far.
Spain’s characterization as the favourite in this clash of the titans is completely warranted. Germany’s game play has been fantastic and they have maintained a consistent style of victory but Spain’s depth and superior skill will hand the victory to the Spanish.
The line has been fluid with numerous point changes since the two teams were pitted against each other. Today it currently stands at a thin difference of Spain-Germany 2.6 x 2.95.
