Bookmaker:

After more than four years of waiting, we have finally arrived at the return of the FIFA World Cup. The biggest sporting spectacle on the planet will be in Qatar and while there are so many reasons why it shouldn't happen, common sense couldn't prevail. Alas, we still expect to see some good football, especially as Germany kick off their campaign against Japan later this week.
Germany
Germany is known to be one of the biggest and best nations in the history of world football. Their recent history doesn't reflect that, but they're still considered a danger no matter what happens behind the scenes. If they qualify for the round of 16, with the squad they have, literally anything can happen.

Team News

Sane should be back fully fit in time for this game and apart from that the Germans have no other injury concerns to worry about.
Japan
The Japanese are considered underdogs in this group, which is hardly surprising given some of the heavyweights involved. Still, they know how to fight their way to knockouts, and we expect them to cause a few upsets during their time in Qatar. If they can link their stars well, qualifying isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility.

Team News

Asano is a fitness issue due to his injury dating back to September, while for the rest of the team there are no big worries.
Factors to consider Japan has never beaten Germany in an international match. Germany have won two, drawn three and lost one of their last six games. Japan have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six games. Germany have scored 11 goals and conceded eight in their last six games. Japan have scored eight goals and conceded five in their last six games. Conclusion
The Japanese are still putting in a good shift and in many ways you could say the real pressure is on Germany's shoulders in this game. They're bound to be one of the favorites, but they've struggled in their last few tournaments, which serves as a possible 'redemption' moment for them. We expect them to come out on top with a nervy 2-1 win, answering very few defensive questions in the process.
