This will be a “do or die” matchup for England, who in spite of coming out as the best side from Group D, have so far failed to impress with their playing style and skills. The Three Lions have netted only two goals so far,which is the lowest between the last 16teamsin the competition.This will be the perfect chance for Gareth Southgate, who has been criticized lately, to prove the doubters wrong.They host the wounded Germany, who have been through heartbreak and back several times against Hungary.

Interestingly, the Nationalelfare +185underdogs, while the Three Lionsare at +155to win in their 33rd overall meeting in history.No surprises here as Germany are the slightfavorites in head-to-head clashes, having celebrated a victory on 15occasionsso far; England have grabbed a triumph 13times, and only four matcheshave ended in a draw. Considering the fact that England areyet to leave everyone in awe with their performances, betting that the game ends in a 2-1 victory for Germanycould be a surebet, at +1000.At $100, the bettor could earn$1,000.If you got to pick anyone to put the ball in the back of the net in this game look no further than Harry Kane or Kai Havertz.
