This is a tough pick as Brazil is unbeaten in home soil for a long time but the odds are screaming for Germany as a much stronger team, both technically and mentally. Brazil has nothing on the attack without Neymar (only Hulk can do something, but his physical game will face a very physical defense) and also trouble on defense without their captain Thiago Silva.
Even though Germany has never beat Brazil outside Germany and has won 4 out of 21 times, this is a pick based only on team analysis:
Germany ML @ 2.87
Germany +0 @ 1.97
I think the odds for the over are pretty good too but Brazil is the biggest ball stealer of the world cup. If they manage to balance midfield combat there might be few goal opportunities, so I'll take:
Over 2 @ 1.917
