My prediction: 2-1 France. Germany is a bit short-handed, with Hummels out and Schweinsteiger at less than 100%, I don’t know if they’ll be able to handle France’s speed.

I’ll go with 2-1 Germany. With Neuer being The Man of The Match stopping the fanatical French.

About speed... Germany will have fast Schürrle and Götze on the sides just like against Argentina in the World Cup final. And Müller in the front, who by law of averages finally has to score like Lewandowski finally did - LoL! Defense will be a solid 4-chain with experienced Höwedes taking Hummels' place, young and fast Kimmich on the side who many compare to Lahm, and Mustafi who already scored in the opening match.

Germany 3-1. Despite playing against France in France and missing Hummels, the Germans will win with a better defense and overall system. The French defense is suspect. And experience matters in big games.
