The Yanks and Germany Lock Horns: A Fresh Start or Continued Dominance?
Key Stats
– Germany have not kept a clean sheet in their last six games.
– Folarin Balogun has contributed to four goals in his last four Ligue 1 appearances.
As the 2024 European Championship hosts, Germany step onto the pitch this Saturday, a renewed American side will be waiting for them at the Pratt & Whitney Stadium in Connecticut. Both teams have had their shares of ups and downs, but what can we anticipate from this friendly?
The Recent Paths of Two Footballing Nations
The US side, affectionately dubbed ‘The Yanks’, have recently enjoyed a 7-0 aggregate scoreline in exhibition games against Uzbekistan and Oman. Gregg Berhalter, having returned as the head coach after some off-field dramas, has successfully reignited the team’s attacking prowess. He’s no stranger to the role, having previously steered the US to success in the CONCACAF Nations League. The Americans have been on a goal-scoring spree, netting in each of their last 12 fixtures. The defence has also been commendable, conceding only six goals in their last 14 friendly matches at home.

Germany, meanwhile, are ushering in the Julian Nagelsmann era, hoping for a fresh start after some disappointing results. The previous boss, Hansi Flick, despite achieving unparalleled success with Bayern Munich, couldn’t emulate that with the national side. The Euro 2024 hosts faced some painful defeats, notably the 4-1 drubbing by Japan. However, the appointment of legendary Rudi Voller as interim manager saw them securing a victory against the 2022 World Cup runners-up, France, courtesy of goals from Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane.
Key Players to Watch
For the US, with Malik Tillman, Antonee Robinson, Tyler Adams, and Zack Steffen missing due to various reasons, a lot rides on the young shoulders of Folarin Balogun and Brenden Aaronson. Balogun, in particular, has been in sparkling form for his club Monaco.
Germany, in the face of their injury woes, might showcase some new talents. Nagelsmann’s call-up of Kevin Behrens and other uncapped players like Oliver Baumann, Robert Andrich, and Chris Fuhrich hints at fresh strategies. The German midfield duo of Ilkay Gundogan and Joshua Kimmich will be pivotal in this encounter.
Diving into the Numbers
For a match of this calibre, statistics provide a clearer picture. The USA, based on their recent CONCACAF Gold Cup performance, have a 7.05 average BettingTips4You Expert Rating. They’ve displayed both defensive solidity and attacking flair, scoring an average of 3.2 goals per match. Their ball possession stats of 62.4% and accurate passes per game at 505 attest to their controlling nature.
Germany’s last tournament, the 2022 World Cup, showed them with an average BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 6.92. Their ball possession averaged 59.3%, but their defence has been a concern, having not kept a clean sheet in their last six matches.
Predictions
1. Match Outcome: Given the home advantage and recent form, I’d predict a draw. Germany’s transition under Nagelsmann and the US’s formidable home record make this a balanced affair.
2. Correct Score: A goal-fest might be on the cards given both teams’ attacking prowess. A 2-2 draw seems plausible.
3. Goalscorer: Folarin Balogun for the USA seems a likely candidate to find the net, given his recent Ligue 1 exploits.
4. Corner Prediction: The US might edge Germany in the corner count, predicting 7-5 in favour of the Americans. Overall, the match might see around 12 corners.
