I'd make Germany marginal favourites.

Looking at the two teams on paper, I'd expect Spain to triumph most of the time, as they have better players.

However, football isn't played on paper, and given the respective showings of the two nations thus far at the World Cup, Germany should win.

If Spain turn up and play like they're capable, it's a different story, which is why I wouldn't make Germany strong favourites.
