BETTING GUIDE: Germany vs Ghana, match preview, team news and prediction

Reeling from a heavy defeat at the hands of Austria, Ghana face an even more difficult challenge on Monday when they take on in-form Germany at MHPArena in another warm-up match for the 2026 World Cup.

Otto Addo’s men have now suffered three defeats in a row, and they will need a significantly improved performance to avoid slipping to a fourth against a side on a six-match winning run.

Germany come into this clash in outstanding form, having won all of their last six matches.

During this run, they have scored an impressive 20 goals while conceding just four, averaging 3.33 goals per game and only 0.67 conceded.

Their recent 4-3 victory over Switzerland highlighted both their attacking power and occasional defensive lapses, but notably, they had kept clean sheets in four of their previous five matches before that.

At home, Die Mannschaft have been dominant, consistently controlling games and scoring freely, including wins like 6-0 against Slovakia and 4-0 versus Luxembourg during World Cup qualifying.

In terms of squad news, Germany boast a deep and talented lineup featuring key players such as Florian Wirtz, who has been in sensational form with five goal contributions in his last two appearances.

Kai Havertz and Serge Gnabry provide attacking threat, while Joshua Kimmich anchors the midfield.

However, injuries to Jamal Musiala and others may prompt rotation, with fringe players expected to get opportunities.

Ghana, on the other hand, have experienced mixed fortunes recently. They have won three and lost three of their last six matches, but more concerning is their current three-game losing streak.

In those defeats, they failed to score against Japan and South Korea and were heavily beaten 5-1 by Austria.

Across their last six games, Ghana have averaged 1.33 goals scored and conceded per match, indicating a lack of cutting edge in attack and vulnerability at the back.

Their away form is particularly worrying, with just one win in their last five away fixtures and eight goals conceded in their last three on the road.

For Ghana, Jordan Ayew remains a key figure, having been their top scorer in qualifying and recently finding the net against Austria.

Thomas Partey will be crucial in midfield, while Antoine Semenyo offers attacking potential.

However, several notable absentees, including Mohammed Kudus and Andre Ayew, weaken their overall squad depth.

Looking at the head-to-head record, the last meeting between these sides ended in a 2-2 draw at the 2014 World Cup.

However, current form suggests a different dynamic heading into this fixture.

Key Pointers;

• Six of Germany’s last eight games have ended with only one team scoring
• Germany have kept clean sheets in four of their last five games
• Five of Ghana’s last six games have ended with only one team scoring
• Ghana have failed to score in two of their last three away games

In conclusion, Germany’s superior form, attacking depth, and defensive consistency make them clear favorites.

Given Ghana’s recent scoring issues and Germany’s tendency to keep clean sheets, the best betting angle is to back Germany to win with both teams not scoring.
