Germany v Japan prediction and team news: Who will win Group E game?
Our predictions for Germany v Japan in World Cup 2022 Group E, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
Germany had a disastrous World Cup in Russia in 2018 after finishing bottom of their group, however, they look revitalised under ex-Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick.
Flick's side will know they need to beat Japan with Germany next in action against Spain, who will be fighting for top spot in Group E.
The group will come down to the result in Germany v Spain, as well as how dominant either side is against Costa Rica, who look set to finish bottom.
