GERMANY VS SPAIN PREVIEW & PREDICTION
On Friday evening, two contenders for the upcoming World Cup face each other. The Germany-Spain match is played in Düsseldorf. A duel to look forward to.
Germany:
World champion Germany has the chance to extend its title this summer. Together with Brazil, France and Spain, Die Mannschaft is among the favorites in favorites for the World Cup winnings. The qualification on the way to Russia did not cause any problems. Opponents like Norway and Austria participated as extras in a group in which Germany already won ten matches (goal difference 43-4). Last year the country also had a good dress rehearsal, with the victory of the Confederations Cup. National coach Joachim Löw left behind many star players, but the talents and reserves were too strong for the competition.
For the next two games – Tuesday, the team will play against Brazil in Berlin – Löw has called his strongest players. And the selection that now stands inspires awe. There are no weak links, and in comparison with four years ago, the team has actually become stronger. The rush-hour position was a problem for a long time, but since the breakthrough of Timo Werner (RB Leipzig), Germany is also well catered for. Another offensive talent is Leroy Sané, who may also be expected at the World Championships. Löw is so good in his attacking midfielders that the trio of Borussia Dortmund (Mario Götze, Marco Reus and Andre Schürrle) has not even been called up for the next two matches.
Ter Stegen – Kimmich, Boateng, Hummels, Hector – Gundogan, Kroos – Müller, Ozil, Sané – Werner
Spain:
Spain too must be counted among the contenders for the world title. Like Germany, Spain has a team of absolute world class, with hardly any weak links. La Roja had to be in class in the qualifying pool, as they were assigned to Italy. Spain was sharp and managed to convince the group convincingly. The 3-0 victory of last September in Italy led to the decision. The Spaniards eventually managed to convert nine of their ten group matches into a win.
Spain also plays a prestigious exhibition game on Tuesday. At the new stadium of Atletico Madrid, Argentina is the opponent of the team of national coach Julen Lopetegui. The national coach has called all his available star players. Like his colleague on the German side, he had to make the necessary choices. A possible debutant is Rodri (Villarreal).
The Gea – Carvajal, Piqué, Sergio Ramos, Jordi Alba – Koke – Asensio, Isco, Iniesta, David Silva – Diego Costa
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.70
