Expert Betting Tips

Germany were unlucky to lose the game against Colombia despite their strong performance. But they are still a very strong team with a strong mentality, so they are expected to bounce back from that defeat and finish the group stage with a strong win. The South Korean team are nowhere near the Germans based on quality, so we don’t expect them to pose a serious threat to the Germans. Germany should win the game without conceding a goal.
