We have Spain vs Germany bet builder tips for you ahead of Sunday night’s big clash. These two sides last met in 2020, Spain were the 6-0 winners on that occasion. A repeat of that here would see Germany knocked out. Hansi Flick will need to see a significant improvement from his side to get the required result here.

World Cup Group E, Sunday, November 27th, 19:00 (UK)
When the draw was made, this match stood out as one of the ties of the group stage. After Germany’s defeat to Japan in the opening match, they could exit the competition with another defeat here.
Spain looked formidable against a poor Costa Rica side. Much of the pre-match talk was about where the goals were going to come from in a Spain side that lacked an out-and-out goal scorer. They silenced those critics by finding the net seven times against a lacklustre Costa Rica side. Very few were talking about Spain as potential winners in Qatar. Another good performance here will really lay down a marker as they look ahead to the knockouts.
Germany dominated the first half against Japan but failed to make their chances count. Moriyasu’s side dug in and fought back late in the second half to secure a memorable victory. Germany are now on the brink of elimination. A group stage exit is likely to provoke an inquest and could result in Hansi Flick losing his job. Results coming into the tournament haven’t been great but the Germans are usually able to turn it on in a major tournament.
Both of these teams are used to dominating the ball so something has to give in this match. Spain had 70% possession the last time these teams met and they should have the lion’s share here. Germany have a lot of pace in their attack. Flick could opt to try and hurt the Spaniards on the counter.
Both of Spain’s centre-backs hit 140+ passes in their opening match against Costa Rica. The last time Enrique’s side played Germany, Pau Torres played as a centre-back and made 121 passes. Sergio Ramos was the other and he came off injured after 43 minutes.
Aymeric Laporte made the most passes for Spain in their opener. While Germany will be more active without possession, Laporte should still have a good number of passes. Over 75.5 passes for the defender is appealing in this one.
Germany’s opening match saw 40 tackles, while Spain’s saw 35. This is a huge game for both teams and will have massive implications on the knockout stages. Expect the tackles to fly in again on Sunday night.
Finally, we are going to back over 3.5 offsides in the match. Both of these teams favour playing with a high line. This often leads to opposition attackers being caught offside. There have been five offsides or more in the last four meetings between these sides.
In this calendar year, Germany’s matches are averaging 5.4 offsides per game. Spain’s average 5 offsides per game.
