Germany vs Algeria Prediction – June 30
Underdog Algeria Takes on Undefeated Germany in the Round of 16
One of the biggest surprises in World Cup 2014 Algeria takes on Germany Monday for a spot in the quarter finals. Algeria lost to Belgium, beat Korea Republic and settled for a draw against Russia to emerge as Group H’s second qualifier – impressive indeed. [ad-1519080]

The Germans have looked unstoppable at times in beating the United States, Portugal and drawing with Ghana. There seems little doubt about who should emerge here.
Nobody has threatened the Germans yet – a draw against Ghana in their final game of the group stage meant nothing. Thomas Muller has been sensational – a hat-trick against Portugal and Germany’s lone goal in their 1-0 win over the U.S.
He is tied with Brazil’s Neymar and Argentina’s Lionel Messi with a tournament-high four goals.
Germany’s offense has been spot on throughout the tournament – they have 15 shots on goal in its last two matches while seeming to do what they want throughout. Bastian Schweinsteiger got his first start last time out and looked close to top form.
Translation – Germany is scary up front.

And when it comes to Germany’s defense there is always captain and midfielder Philippe Lahm who has been a rock in the back for the Germans.
Algeria won’t be a pushover in their biggest ever match – ever! They managed to hang with Belgium before losing 1-0 and they did score three against South Korea in their second game.
In their third game against Russia Algeria played a very conservative style en route to a 1-1 draw -a similar defensive-minded game plan is expected Monday as well.
Islam Slimani and winger Sofiane Feghouli will be all that Algeria has going forward. They have been very opportunistic but in no way match up with the fire power that Germany will throw at them.
These two should get an opportunity or two but they will have to bury each of them if Algeria hopes for an upset.
World Cup – Round of 16 Betting Prediction:
The Germans look too powerful to be denied in this game. Belgium beat the Algerians and Germany is a superior squad to the Belgians. While betting on the Germans outright has no value I’m looking at the total.
I think Germany win’s 2-1 or 3-1, going over the 2 1/2 point total.
Pick: The Over – 2 1/2 goals
