Saudi Arabia vs. Germany: Tipps, Prognosis & Odds - 25.07.2021 - WELT: Olympic Games 2021

 

Will the DFB selection rehabilitate in the second group game?

The German selection got off to a very bad start in the 2021 Summer Olympics with 2: 4. Accordingly, the reigning silver medalist has his back to the wall on matchday two against Saudi Arabia. With a defeat, Stefan Kuntz's ensemble would probably be out of the window.

In the run-up to the encounter between Saudi Arabia and Germany, the odds are very clearly in the direction of the German selection. Incidentally, all of the notations for this lot can be clearly understood via smartphone and tablet. For example in the clear Tipwin app.

Saudi Arabia also started with a defeat in the Olympic Games 2021. The team that qualified for the Olympics via the final of the U23 Asian Cup 2020, was able to equalize against the Ivory Coast after 0: 1 deficit, but ultimately lost to the favored Ivorians but then with 1: 2.

We expect the Green Falcons to fight against Germany in a similarly combative manner. After all, the tournament would also be sealed for the team of Saad al-Shehri in the second defeat. Accordingly, we see the greatest value in Saudi Arabia against Germany in the tip that both teams score. In particular, defensively, the DFB selection was not too good in the opening game.

Saudi Arabia - Statistics & Current Form


Saudi Arabia is sending a men's soccer team to the Summer Olympics for the first time since the 1996 Olympic Games. At that time in the United States of America, the Green Falcons lost all three preliminary round matches with a total of 2: 5 goals and had to travel home as the bottom of the group.

Again this year, the underdog was denied a point win against Ivory Coast. The men of Saad al-Shehri, whose 22 nominated players all earn their money in the highest Saudi Arabian league, are now under pressure to act.

Despite defeat with a good appearance in the opening game


The nevertheless powerful squad, in which Yasser Al-Shahrani, Salem Al-Dawsari and captain Salman Al-Faraj provide the necessary experience, still sold dearly in the opening game against the Ivory Coast.

After Abdulelah Al-Amri underwent an unfortunate own goal in the 39th minute of the game, the alleged football dwarf struck back just five minutes later and was able to hold the 1-1 draw for a long time. Only Milan star Franck Kessié ultimately made the difference in the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama.

Only one defeat in the last eleven international games before the Olympics

That the U23s of the Saudi Arabian national soccer team are capable of improving their performance was made clear by the Green Falcons one and a half years ago at the U23 Asia Cup in 2020. Saudi Arabia stormed into the final with only one goal conceded, where they also held the 0-0 draw against South Korea in regular time before the game ended 0-1 after extra time.

Following this bankruptcy, Saudi Arabia lost only one of the last eleven international games (three wins, seven draws) before the 2021 Summer Olympics. It is all the more surprising that the al-Shehri troop is such a blatant outsider against a ragged German selection. The bookmaker Bet365, tested by Wettbasis, offers betting odds of 10.00 for the three of the Green Falcons in Saudi Arabia against Germany.

Germany - statistics & current form

The German national soccer team started the Olympic Games 2021 anything but good. Stefan Kuntz was only able to mobilize 18 players for the tenth German participation in the men's Olympic soccer tournament. Due to numerous cancellations by clubs and players, not all positions in the squad are occupied.

It is correspondingly painful that in the context of the 2-4 defeat at the beginning of the game against defending champions Brazil, captain Maximilian Arnold was thrown off the field with the traffic light card. The Wolfsburg is missing in the second group game against Saudi Arabia, which means that the rest of the squad practically sets itself up.

In particular, the German defensive behavior was worrying


In the opening game, the defensive behavior of the Germans, who let themselves be overrun by Brazil, was terrifying. In particular, Amos Pieper, who was consequently substituted at halftime, had no access to his opponents and even initiated a great Brazilian opportunity with a failed header back pass.

However, the German squad does not offer much room for change, which is why the tip in Saudi Arabia against Germany that there will be goals on both sides is under a very good star. After all, both teams need the threesome if they want to keep their chances of making the quarter-finals.

Two goals against Brazil from two half-chances


There were bright spots in the German opening defeat, which could easily have been three or four goals higher, the appearance of the strong keeper Florian Müller, who even defused a Cunha penalty, as well as the morale that the team demonstrated in the second half.

Free soccer picks

Out of two half-chances, Germany came outnumbered to a 2: 3 connection goal and actually made a game in which there were few positive things exciting again. If the DFB squad even remotely shows a similar callousness in the end, it should be possible to force a quarter-final against Ivory Coast.

Expected formation of Germany:

Müller - Raum - Pieper - Uduokhai - Henrichs - Maier - Stach - Torunarigha - Amiri - Richter - Kruse

Direct comparison / H2H

Neither in the context of the Summer Olympics nor in competitions of the U23 national teams have ever faced a German and Saudi Arabian selection. As a result, there is no significant head-to-head data that could flow into the forecast for Saudi Arabia versus Germany.

Betting base forecast & Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia - Germany Germany tip

After the defeat at the beginning, both teams are doomed to win on this second match day, in order to somehow preserve the chances of making it to the quarter-finals. Correspondingly brave, we also expect the Green Falcons, who usually have their core competence on the defensive and only conceded a single goal on the way to the narrowly lost final in the U23 Asian Cup 2020.

Free soccer tips

Basically, it is a compulsory task for the German selection, which five years ago still won silver in the Olympic soccer tournament in Rio. With a view to the small squad, in which captain Arnold is now banned, the bet on the three of the Germans is still not a sure-fire success.

Free soccer tips

Instead, we recommend the tip that both teams score, for which odds of 2.16 are available for Saudi Arabia against Germany. At the bookmaker 888sport, tested by Wettbasis, we invest four units in this bet.
