Moneyline pick: Germany -600

South Korea have nothing left to play for but pride, although I’m sure they’d find some satisfaction out of making the road tougher for Germany, especially if they get to help send them home early. That’s unlikely to happen, though, as it would take a South Korea result combined with a Morocco draw or win over group leaders Colombia. Germany will likely be through, and a win against South Korea will essentially guarantee that.

South Korea haven’t scored a goal in the group stage, and were held to zero shots on target in their 1-0 loss to Morocco in the second match of the campaign. They’re about to go up against the No. 2 team in the world, who obliterated Morocco with a 6-0 final score in their group stage opener, though that included two own goals committed by the Moroccans.

The Germans are led by Alexandra Popp with three goals through the campaign so far, and they’ll look to her to get the job done up top against a lackluster South Korea side. Back the Germans to get all three points and move on to the round of 16.
