Spain-Germany official line-up: scorers’ predictions, cautions and shooters for the big match
If it’s not an in or out for Germany, it’s a close one. The defeat of Japan was in some ways soothing for Flick’s team, who will take on Luis Enrique’s ‘Red Furies’ in less than an hour. The Iberians swept aside Costa Rica in the opener, and seem to be experiencing an important moment of form. However, the match promises to be absolutely intriguing and full of twists and turns. Here are the line-up choices:
- SPAIN (4-3-3) U. Simon – Carvajal, Rodri, Laporte, Alba – Gavi, Busquets, Pedri – Asensio, Olmo, Ferran.
- GERMANIA Neuer – Kehrer, Süle, Rüdiger, Raum – Kimmich, Goretzka – Musiala, Gündogan, Gnabry – Müller .
Spain-Germany, the scorers’ prediction
Rivitalised by a debut that to call it sparkling would be an understatement, Ferran Torres could also find the way of goal against Germany, making the most of the uncertainties in their defensive line. On the opposite side, watch out for Gnabry, who with his speed and initiative could carve out important spaces.
Probable cautions and marksmen for Spain-Germany
The option of Musiala as a marksman is not a small one. With his insertions, the German all-round midfielder could put the Iberian defence in trouble if attacked from behind. He is in serious danger of ending up in match director Sule’s notebook.
