Two strong teams are facing off, and neither will want to give up victory easily. Germany has conceded a critical number of goals in their last two matches (at least five in each), yet they have executed sharp attacks effectively, scoring at least three goals over 60 minutes in 4 of their last 5 World Championship games.
The Czech Republic currently holds the top spot in their group and will surely aim to solidify their position in the upcoming match.

I believe neither team will sit back in the upcoming match. My prediction: Total over 5 goals
