Above is the fixture table for both teams. It is clear that these teams are the favourites to make their way out of the group stage and into the knockout phase of the competition. Both these teams will look to win this match and be potential table-toppers of the group. Their recent game ended in a 6-0 win to Spain over Germany. This beating will be a motivation to do something similar in the upcoming World Cup match.
Things to watch out for
- Pablo Gavira, also known as Gavi, recently won the young player of the year at the recently concluded Ballon d’ OR ceremony. He will be critical for Spain against Germany with Pedri in the midfield. Their dominance in the middle will be essential in the match.
- Bayern Munich stars Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala are in the form of their lives. They will threaten the Spanish defenders because of their speed with the ball and dribbling skills. If they are allowed space in and around the box, they will cause trouble.
- Losing 6-0 in the recently concluded Nations League to Spain will be fresh on the German minds. This could be a mental block in their match against Spain in the group stages and may affect their performance.
