England vs Germany Prediction
The pressure is mounting on Gareth Southgate ahead of the World Cup, with England enduring a dismal run of form. Despite England's achievements under Southgate's management, he has never truly endeared himself to the fan base. All eyes will be on his side.
England manager Gareth Southgate saw signs of progress despite his side’s 1-0 loss to Italy, which condemned the Three Lions to Nations League relegation... https://t.co/zoZ7Bsg5iI
Germany, on the other hand, will hope that Hansi Flick helps the men's side reach the heights that they reached under Joachim Low's management. Germany's form has been erratic as well.
We expect to see a close game, with a draw likely.
Prediction: England 1-1 Germany
