1.77handicap (-3.5) on Finland

The Finns are the obvious favorites of this meeting and are unlikely to let their fans down. Although the team hasn't had much success in recent games, Finland is still far superior to Germany in terms of level and should win by a landslide. We're betting on a confident success for the nominal guests.

Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) puck on Finland for 1.77

1.87total over 6.5 goals

Bet on total

Germany has been missing a lot of goals lately and is unlikely to play more confidently in defense in the match with Finland. At the same time, the Finns themselves are not a model of reliable play in defense, so the Germans can also count on a couple of goals. We believe that this confrontation will be productive.

Our prediction is total over 6.5 goals for 1.87

Bet on individual total

Finland remains one of the strongest teams in Europe and is quite capable of scoring five goals against the German team. With due diligence, Suomi could well reach ten goals, like the US team did in the first round. We expect a goal extravaganza from the favorite.

Our prediction is Finland individual total over five goals for 1.80
