Mexico-Germany is an international friendly to be played Wednesday at 02:00. Streaming, probable formations, predictions
Nagelsmann’s first on the bench of Germany was really positive: a comeback victory against the United States, away, and a nice confidence boost for a national team that had lost certainties in the last period. Lost also in an important way since there was also a change in the bench.
A comeback victory, we said, against the United States, in a match that after Pulisic’s early lead was always in the hands of the European team preparing to host next summer’s event at home. Tonight it’s the turn of another important challenge, against Mexico, host of the 2026 World Cup, coming off a win against Ghana. Two to zero for the Central Americans, thanks to goals from Lozano and Antuna.
On paper on the night in Philadelphia there should be no match. Nagelsmann should not change his lineup too much, sending in the best precisely because of that desire to find another victory that would allow them to give a further signal to all the others. Germany, at home next summer, could really lay down the law and make up for the latest disappointments. And winning always helps to win. Even matches like this.
The prediction
Germany wants to win. It will try to do it. And it will probably do it with Mexico in this challenge being played in America. Nagelsmann’s team has what it takes to take another important win that from a morale standpoint would help them get back on their feet. Match of at least one goal per team and also of at least three goals overall. German victory fits, all right.
