Germany vs England Preview and Line Up 2022

Germany is set to lock horns with England for their second Nations League fixture on Tuesday, 7th June. The Germans faced a strong challenge from Italy in the opening game last week. They managed to avoid defeat, thanks to the quick equalizer from Joshua Kimmich in the second half. The German coach Hansi Flick seemed disappointed with his team’s performance. In the post-match conference, Flick said.

“We certainly can’t be completely satisfied. It was okay in the first quarter of an hour, but after that, we didn’t find the spaces, made a lot of mistakes, and let ourselves get a bit out of control. 

England has a tough challenge to bounce back against the strong German side in Munich after facing a disappointing loss to Hungary in the first game. A full-strength English struggled for a single goal in that match. In the next game, Southgate’s men will look to repeat the result of the Euro 2020 Quater-Final when they defeated Germany in a knockout game after 55 years. However, the circumstances will be different this time and it will be an away game for England.
