The French, just like at last year's World Cup, are not only not shining but disappointing. They did not get it right away with Brazil, but they got it sorted out. The match with Japan was won only in overtime and only thanks to the stupidity of the Japanese and the referees, who were not afraid of shame.

France has never scored more than 84 points in regulation time, even with the help of four points in one attack. There is no reason to praise the French defense for 84 Japanese points, either. We don't think Germany will concede more than that.

The Germans are much more efficient in attack than France - they have scored 97 and 86 points against the Japanese and Brazilians, respectively. Germany's defense has also been decent so far - they haven't allowed the Japanese to score 84 points, but only 77.

Can Herbert's charges feel at ease with a goal difference of +33? Probably not—in case of defeat, they will not only finish second in the group but also risk becoming the worst of the second teams, with all the consequences. Then there is Serbia, who will only play South Sudan on Saturday and will know exactly how much difference they need to make. In general, winning to get into the seeding is very desirable.

So, France will surely be stacked in defense. Whether that will help them win is unknown, but the French can contain Franz Wagner and his mates' attacking passion. We will take the total under.
