Match day 2 - Group F & G teams in action Today. Argentina and Germany will try to win and seal the spot for knock out stages

With Surprises from underdogs all around the groups, today in the first match Argentina will try to win over Iran and try to seal the knock out spot. On the other hand Nigeria will take on Bosnia on the last fixture of the day. In Group F only one team has full 3 points and that is Argentina which won against Bosnia. Two teams Nigeria and Iran settled for a tame draw with one point each. Bosnia is yet to open its account in the group. Group F Table is shown below.

My Prediction for Group F

Argentina vs Iran

Score line 2-0 with Argentina win.

Nigeria vs Bosnia

Tight fixture with Bosnia scoring first and win the match

The Second fixture of the day is the match between Germany and Ghana from Group G. Again in this match Germany will fight to win the game and seal the spot for the knock out stages and at the same time Ghana will also try to push hard for a win in order to open the account in this group.  current standings of group G is shown below.

Prediction

Germany vs Ghana

Germany win with one goal margin.

Probable line up

Germany:

Neur (GK) ; Boateng - Mertesacker - Hummels - Howedes; Lahm;Ozil - Khedira - Kroos - Gotze; Mueller

Formation: 4-1-4-1

Ghana:

Khwarasey (GK); Asamoah - Mensah - Boye - Afful; Muntari - Essien; Ayew - Boateng kevin - Atsu; Gyan

Formation: 4-2-3-1



With Hummels back in side after injury scare the Germans will play unchanged side. Schewnsteiger and klose may come in as substitute in the game. Klose is just one goal short of equaling the all time highest goal scorers in the world cup and hence the focus will also remain on that case too.

Anyways its going to be a cracker contest and hope for the best results.
