Germany Clear Favourite to Win Game, Group
Published on June 20th, 2014 4:03 pm ESTGermany and Ghana will be battling in Group G action at the World Cup on Saturday.
Germany heads into this match possessing all of the momentum in the world, as they thoroughly outclassed Portugal 4-0 in their first match of the tournament. The Germans looked completely dominant over the course of the contest, frustrating Cristiano Ronaldo while peppering the Portuguese goaltender with shots.
Ghana, on the other hand, suffered through a bitter 2-1 loss to the United States in their first game of the tournament. Ghana pulled to a tie in the match and seemed to have all of the momentum, but the American side dug deep and managed to pull out the victory.
Ghana is a good team but they will likely be outclassed by Thomas Muller and the German side on Saturday. That being said, Ghana MUST have a win if they hope to have a chance of making it through the group, so they will need to be in desperation mode.
