Confederation Cup semi-finalists Germany and Mexico can put on quite a show in the stadium that hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the most recent Winter Olympics, says Tobias Gourlay

Not many will have been more pleased with a goalless 120 minutes in the Kazan Arena last night. The full-time draw puts us back in black for the week.

This evening, Germany play Mexico for a shot at Chile in Sunday's final. The world champions' three group games delivered 3-2, 1-1 and 3-1 scorelines. In five competitive games this year, Joachim Low's men have managed just a single clean sheet - against San Marino.

Mexico bring a much bigger goal threat than that lot. El Tri struck six times in going unbeaten through their three group matches (2-2, 2-1, 2-1). You'll notice there that they too are without a clean sheet in Russia.

With both teams bringing significant scoring threats - and fragile defences - to the party in Sochi tonight, we really like the near-evens price on Over 2.5 Goals.
