The day of Saturday closes at the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi, when the current world champion as is Germany, go to play the continuity in the 2018 World Cup Russia against a tough team like Sweden, in game that corresponds to the Group F.
Germany:
Those led by Joachim Low had a strong call in their debut against Mexico, and that Die Mannschaft was defeated by Mexico with a score of 0-1 and careful that if the Central American team had more effectiveness facing the German goal , the difference would have been greater, and that is that in that game Germany was very weak in defense.
The truth is that the defeat against Mexico was the first in a World Cup after eight games without losing in that competition and this Saturday they will want to rediscover the good results, in addition to recover from the last results where Germany has only won a game of the last seven (six were friendly).
For the game against Sweden, Low will enlist a variant and it will be the entry of Jonas Hector who missed the debut due to an illness and already recovered will take the place of Marvin Plattenhardt.
Sweden:
Meanwhile, those led by Janne Andersson despite showing very little in their game against South Korea, achieved the ultimate goal was to win.
The victory against the Asians allows Sweden to break a four-game losing streak without knowing how to win, in addition to breaking a three-game scoring drought, as they came from losing 1-0 to Romania and drawing 0-0 against Denmark and Peru in their three last friendly.
But the best thing is that the win against South Korea leaves Sweden well in these last two games where even if some combination of results are given up to tie them could say present in the second round and thus repeat what was done in his last participation in a World Cup as it happened in Germany 2006.
Apparently for this game the Swedish technical command will make some changes and it will be the entry of Manchester United defender English as Victor Lindelof instead of Pontus Jansson.
These teams have faced each other on several occasions and according to the statistics websites they tell us that Germany have not lost to Sweden in the last seven matches where Die Mannschaft added five victories.
The last time they met was in the European qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup Brazil, in the first leg in Germany the game ended in a draw with four goals, while in the return Germany won by 3-5.
