I believe the tempo will be high in the game's opening, and if the score is equal in the second half, both coaches may be content with a draw and opt for less risk and a lower tempo.
Both sides performed well in their preparations ahead of the tournament and are very similar in strength. Neither can afford to lose this game, which is why I believe it will be a tight match at RheinEnergieStadion.
I predict the game will end in a draw, with 1-1 as the likely score.
