Spain could make Germany's life difficult this Sunday since a victory for the Spaniards could leave the Germans eliminated again in the group stage, similar to what happened in 2018.

Spain showed a firm and secure game in the first round. Facing the worst team in the group and probably also in the tournament, the Spanish team had no difficulty in building their long victory over Costa Rica by 7-0 and making history in the competition as the team that had the greatest possession of the ball (81.8% ) and the highest number of passes exchanged (976 completed passes). The style of play worked well and after 11 minutes they were already winning.

I don't think this game shows us much of Spain since the opponent was terribly bad and couldn't show any strength and also made a very light mark, facilitating the Spanish team's long victory. I think that today against Germany we will have a better impression of this Spanish team, which in my opinion has difficulties in showing a strong offensive game when required.

Luis Henrique should not make any changes to the team compared to the first round.

The 2-1 defeat by Japan in the first round was a shock for the Germans. They now need to earn points urgently so as not to be eliminated early. The team's first half wasn't so bad since they had a good game and managed to make Japan retreat and play only defensively, in addition, the team managed to create good goal chances and if they took better advantage of it, the final result could have been different. After the turn of the Japanese team, the team was unable to react and showed a poor performance.

Germany has a wealth of attacking talent in midfield and wing positions and will need to make the best use of this to beat Spain.

Injuries to Timo Werner and Marco Reus in the run-up to this tournament took two of their most practical players out of a potential line-up, with Werner, who was supposed to be the team's striker, a real loss. In his absence, they put Kai Havertz on top. On the other hand, striker Sané missed the defeat against Japan due to a knee injury and the Bayern Munich winger remains doubtful for Sunday's game, despite having returned to training in recent days.

Manager Hansi Flick is not expected to make many changes, but he could bring in Niclas Füllkrug in place of Kai Havertz up front.

The pressure is already on coach Hansi Flick, who has suggested that one of his main objectives ahead of Sunday's game is to ensure the team believes they can win.

“The team and each person can always develop,” he said. “That's why the team still has potential, which is not delivering at the moment.

“However, I believe we have good quality. Yes, we trust the team. We are optimistic and really want to approach this game on Sunday against Spain in a positive way.

In the last 4 games between these two teams, there was 1 win for Spain, 1 win for Germany, and 2 draws.

I understand that the odds are in favor of the Spanish team since they showed a superior performance in the first round, however, I cannot take this game as a parameter since they did not face a minimally strong opponent. The German team knows how to behave mentally on the pitch and I don't think they will lose their minds today. We should probably see a tough team with a lot of attention on the field to win the 3 points. Besides, a draw for Spain is not such a bad result since it will decide your classification against Japan in the last round, depending only on you. A very balanced confrontation is expected here today.

My probable score here is 1-1 0-1

Marco Antonio,

GL!

本周日，西班牙可能会让德国队的日子不好过，因为如果西班牙人获胜，德国人可能会在小组赛中再次被淘汰，就像2018年发生的那样。

西班牙在第一轮比赛中表现稳固。面对小组赛中最差的球队，或许也是本届杯赛中最差的球队，西班牙队以7-0的比分轻松战胜哥斯达黎加队，并在比赛中创造了历史，成为控球率最高(81.8%)和传球次数最多(976次完成传球)的球队。这种打法很有效，11分钟后他们就已经赢了。

我不认为这场比赛向我们展示了太多的西班牙，因为对手非常糟糕，不能显示出任何力量，也做了非常轻的标记，促进了西班牙队的长期胜利。我认为今天对德国的比赛我们会对这支西班牙球队有更好的印象，在我看来，他们在需要的时候很难展现出强大的进攻。

与第一轮相比，路易斯·恩里克应该不会对球队做出任何改变。

第一轮1 - 2不敌日本队让德国人震惊。他们现在急需获得积分，以免过早被淘汰。这支球队的上半场并没有那么糟糕，因为他们打了一场不错的比赛，成功地让日本队撤退，只打防守，此外，球队设法创造了很好的进球机会，如果他们能更好地利用它，最终的结果可能会不一样。轮到日本队后，球队没有做出反应，表现不佳。

德国在中场和边路位置上拥有丰富的进攻天才，他们需要充分利用这一点来击败西班牙。

维尔纳和罗伊斯在预选赛中相继受伤，使他们的两名最实用的球员从潜在的阵容中消失，而维尔纳本应是球队的前锋，这是一个真正的损失。他不在的时候，他们让凯·哈弗兹当老大。另一方面，前锋Sané因为膝盖受伤错过了输给日本的比赛，尽管最近几天已经恢复训练，但这位拜仁慕尼黑的边锋能否参加周日的比赛还是个未知数。

主帅弗利克预计不会做出太多的改变，但他可能会引进尼古拉斯Füllkrug来代替卡伊·哈弗茨。

主教练汉斯·弗利克(Hansi Flick)已经承受了压力，他表示，在周日的比赛前，他的主要目标之一是确保球队相信他们能赢球。

“团队和每个人都可以不断发展，”他说。“这就是为什么我们的团队仍然有潜力，但目前还没有实现。

“不过，我相信我们的质量很好。是的，我们信任这个团队。我们很乐观，真的想以一种积极的方式对待周日与西班牙的比赛。

在这两支球队最近的4场比赛中，西班牙1胜，德国1胜，2平。

我知道西班牙队在第一轮比赛中表现出色，所以胜率较高，但我不能把这场比赛作为一个参数，因为他们没有面对一个最弱的对手。德国队知道如何在球场上表现精神状态，我不认为他们今天会失去理智。我们可能会看到一支强硬的球队在球场上投入了大量的注意力来赢得3分。此外，西班牙的平局并不是一个糟糕的结果，因为它将决定你最后一轮对阵日本的级别，这只取决于你自己。预计今天在这里会有一场非常平衡的对抗。我的可能比分是1-1 0-1
