After a group stage exit in Russia 2018 and another poor performance in the Euro 2020, the German team moved on from Low to Hansi Flick.
He has developed another competitive squad for the tournament and hopes to use his club’s successes to help the nation propel.
They aren’t in the best of forms but with the start of the World Cup, expect them to be back to their best.
On the other hand, Japan secured a place in the WC Finals after securing a 2nd place finish in the AFC Qualifiers with 22 points from 10 matches.
Japan showed their potential and have become one of Asia’s top sides. They alongside South Korea have upped their game over time and have been competitive.
The Samurai Blue brought with them a combination of youth and experienced squad as they look to get past a difficult group which includes Spain and Costa Rica.

Germany possible 11:
Neuer, Kehrer, Rüdiger, Süle, Raum, Kimmich, Goretzka, Gnabry, Musiala, Müller and Havertz
Japan possible 11:
Gonda, Nagatomo, Tomiyasu, Yoshida, Sakal, Endo, Minamino, Tanaka, Kamada, Ito and Asano
Prediction: Germany 2-1 Japan
Given how the WC has played out, no team can be taken lightly and hence we expect another closely fought one here.
Japan can use South Korea’s win over Germany in the 2018 WC as an inspiration on how to overcome Die Mannschaft.
However; Germany has the experience and better quality to get the points and should do so.
Players to watch out for: Müller, Gnabry, Ito and Tanaka.
