Germany were many peoples favourites coming into the tournament and have so far looked strong, albeit labouring to an extra-time victory over Algeria in the previous round. Joachim Low’s side appear to be the most efficient and well-balanced group in the tournament, combining a solid back line with a vibrant and creative attack. The majority of the squad have won just about every major club honour in the past few years and there is a sense that this group has the potential to take over from Spain as the dominant force on the international scene. To do that they must banish the tag of chokers, which has not been shaken off after capitulations in the latter stages of the past four major tournaments.

Of course this outlook ignores the increasingly impressive progress made by Didier Deschamps’ France in this World Cup. With an attack Headed by Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema in the form of his life, France have the quintessential star attraction who is slugging it out with Neymar, Messi and the rest for the golden boot. However they are by no means a one-man band in the mould of Brazil or Argentina, as evidenced by the performances of vibrant wide men Antoine Griezmann and Mathieau Valbuena, not to mention the midfield powerhouse that is Paul Pogba. It was these men who stepped up to the mark when Benzema had an off day against Nigeria and can be counted on to test the German rear-guard to its limits on Friday.

As for France v Germany betting tips, we could be in for an end-to-end classic and it would be no understatement to claim that the winner of this tie should be installed as favourites to win the tournament outright. The quality of both attacks makes the odds of 10/11 for both teams to score an essential first prediction for the match. A slightly more risky punt could be both teams to score and the match to end a draw, which is 7/2 (Bet365).

Following on from that and if you really like living on the edge, either side to win on penalties could be worth a flutter at 11/1. Finally, most punters will be attracted to Benzema or Thomas Muller in the first goal scorer market, both of whom are 5/1. However spare a thought for Miroslav Klose who is one goal away from becoming the all time highest scorer in World Cup history and whose poaching skills may be utilised by Joachim Low later in the game. He is 13/2 to score last and makes up our final France v Germany prediction.
