Germany: Neusse - Bleicher, Henze - Buss, Brunner, Lewandowski.
🥅 Goalkeepers
Lendak saved 90% of shots against Sweden, conceding just two goals. These stats are impressive given the disparity in team levels. His performance could be crucial in the matchup against Germany.
Neusse also had a decent outing against the USA, allowing six goals but managing to save 87% of shots. Just imagine the pressure on Germany's defense. It won't be as tough against Slovakia, which means the goalie might play with even more confidence.
Editor's Prediction
Slovakia appear more balanced and prepared for this clash, both physically and tactically. Despite the loss, their match against Sweden was solid, and the team didn't underperform-in fact, quite the opposite. Germany, on the other hand, have shown vulnerabilities and revealed some issues in their game. We're backing Slovakia to win with a -1.5 handicap.
