• Competition: Friendly

• Venue: Wolfkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg 

When Japan defeated Germany in the 1st round of the World Cup in Qatar after a 1-0 deficit, many could not believe what a surprise had happened, but after the victory of this national team from the far east against Spain, it was clear that there is something real and solid.

Less than a year after that match, Germany and Japan will meet once again, this time on European soil in Wolfsburg and test their strength in a friendly match.

For the Germans, that duel will probably be a little less friendly because they will try to get revenge for that heavy defeat that cost the Panzers passage to the next stage of the World Cup 2022. It is known that Germany is a direct participant in EURO 2024 as the host and they only have these friendly matches left. There is a lot of pressure after 3 defeats in the last 4 friendly matches.

Japan also played a few friendly matches at the beginning of the summer, but it was far more successful. In the last two matches against Peru and El Salvador, they scored 10 goals. After this duel, they should meet Turkey 3 days later.

Germany vs Japan pick: GERMANY TO WIN

It is expected that in this match Germany will be with a very strong lineup and players like Sane, Gundogan, Rudiger, Havertz... Japan plays quite disciplined and responsible and it is certain that they will once again put a lot of pressure on the hosts' midfield, however, we expect that the Germany can make an extra effort, especially in the second half, and come up with a recognizable game that can threaten any rival. It won't be easy, but a victory with at least 1 goal difference in favor of the home team seems like a pretty safe option
