FIFA World Cup, Germany vs Japan Preview: Probable Lineups, Prediction, Team News & Key Numbers

A day after Saudi Arabia stunned Argentina, Japan lock horns with Hansi Flick’s Germany in a crucial Group E match at the Khalifa International Stadium on Wednesday.

Germany have been solid under Hansi Flick and are one of the favourites to clinch the title.
