Germany Predicted Lineup vs Germany<\/span><\/h2>\n

How Germany Have Lined up Recently<\/span><\/h3>\n

Nagelsmann has <\/span>kept experimenting with<\/span> different lineups in recent months while sticking to his favourite 4-2-3-1 formation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manuel Neuer has maintained his No.1 spot, while Antonio Rudiger has partnered Jonathan Tah in central defence. Joshua Kimmich has been moved to the right-back position, justifying the manager\u2019s surprise decision with brilliant performances. Stuttgart\u2019s Maximilian Mittelst\u00e4dt has emerged as Germany\u2019s starting left back, but Nagelsmann also has David Raum at his disposal for this role.<\/span><\/p>\n

In midfield, Toni Kroos has returned to the starting lineup and <\/span>is set<\/span> to play a vital role in Mannschaft\u2019s bid to win the European trophy on home soil. The Real Madrid star has mainly paired up with Robert Andrich, who comes into the tournament after a fairytale season with Bayer Leverkusen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s promising youngsters Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala have continued their respective roles on the left and right wings, with Ilkay Gundogan maintaining his starting place as the team\u2019s first-choice attacking midfielder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nagelsmann has continued to start Kai Havertz as his side\u2019s target striker despite Niklas Fulkrug\u2019s fantastic performances for Borussia Dortmund last season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Germany Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Mannschaft\u2019s recovery from their embarrassing 2022 World Cup campaign has not been smooth, but they have gradually improved their form under Nagelsmann in recent months. The hosts look to solve their \u201c<\/span>identity crisis<\/span><\/a>\u201d with a combination of veteran stars and youngsters – after a strong season for German teams in European club football.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Euro 2024 hosts won their first game of the year against France in late March before beating the Netherlands 2-1. Germany played two warmup matches as part of their final preparations for the tournament. <\/span>On June 3, <\/span>they <\/span>were held<\/span> to a goalless draw <\/span>by Ukraine<\/span> before claiming a 2-1 victory over Greece at Borussia Park three days later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Germany Injuries To Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n

Aleksandar Pavlovic has <\/span>been ruled<\/span> out of the tournament after coming down with tonsillitis. Nagelsmann called Borussia Dortmund\u2019s Emre Can to replace him in the squad,\u00a0<\/span>saying<\/span><\/a>\u00a0he wanted a player who \u201cknows how to deal with the pressure\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leroy Sane has fully recovered from a pubic bone injury that kept him out of Bayern Munich\u2019s final game of the season. However, the 28-year-old still faces serious competition to reclaim his starting place in the national team.<\/span><\/p>\n
