The second semi-final of the Confederations Cup will be held on Thursday, 29th June, in which the Germany national team will play with the national team of Mexico. The Germany national team has come to Russia with a weakened squad, rejuvenated to be exact, while El Tricolor with its strongest squad.
The Germany national team is noticeably gaining shape during the course of the tournament. At first, the Germans overcame the resistance of the Australia national team with difficulties, defeating their opponents with the score of 3:2. There was a 1:1 draw with the Chileans after that and a confident victory over the team of Cameroon. Seven points in three games is a great result for the young Eagles, but one should not forget, that they had a draw with the strongest team of their group.
The Mexico national team, as well as the team of Germany has two victories with three matches at the Confederations Cup, defeating New Zealand 2:1, the Russians 2:1 and had a draw with Portugal. The Mexican team was losing in all three games, but never suffered defeat, which means, that the team is well-prepared psychologically. The Mexico national team is much more experienced, than the current Germans, therefore there is no doubt, that El Tricolor will put maximum effort to advance to the final of the current tournament. The Mexico team in Russia feels itself just great, therefore it is possible, that there will be a sensation in the forthcoming match.
Bookmakers reckon, that in the Germany – Mexico confrontation, the Germans will have higher chances on a victory, but the Mexicans have gained some great shape, and there was already a case, when El Tricolor won at the Confederations Cup, the team is ready for the win.
Prediction for the match: Mexico not to lose
