Our prediction for: Turkey – Croatia
Both teams are in good shape and there is no favorite in my opinion, in this duel. Croatia seems to be slightly better because the team has several players who make the difference. I think the difference will be made this afternoon by defensive game, and the band will err less will be able to come out victorious. Both marks is my recommendation for this game. Croatia has quality on the offensive, but might be vulnerable on the second phase, the Turks having good players counterattack. In addition Terim’s students can score and set pieces that will take place in the area of Subasic.
Our prediction for: Germany – Ukraine
It is a derby first match of Group C, which will be one of the main candidates to win the trophy. Specifically, it is Germany that will win the group if it will be a surprise, and Ukraine is rated a little better than Poland, so we will see in direct duel that will deserve to go further. Anyway everything is possible, even in this match that the former world champion is not even in shape and Ukrainians can beat anyone. After winning the group, Germany has a variable evolution in friendly duels, losing even Slovakia, while Ukraine has not done any wrong step in the 4 matches of preparation. The last duel between the national teams was a friendly match, which ended with the score 3-3 in 2011. They met 5 times in total, Germany triumphing in two confrontations and 3 matches ended in a draw.
