At 3 o'clock on November 28, Beijing time, the 2022 World Cup enters its eighth matchday and will play the second round of Group E. Germany, who lost in the last round, will face Spain, and Germany will be in a hurry if they do not win.
Spain and Germany are considered world-class strong teams, in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, are divided into the same group, the same group and Costa Rica and Japan compared to the two teams of Germany and Spain are stronger, there are no weak teams in this group, Spain and Germany will actually have some dangers, relatively speaking, Germany will have some advantages in the match with Spain.
The Spanish team was the champion of Euro 2008 and Euro 2012, at that time, the overall passing skills of the Spanish team were dazzling, but after Xavi retired and Andres Iniesta faded out of the national team, the Spanish team gradually began to rebuild, and the overall form in the recent period has improved somewhat compared to before, reaching the semi-final stage of the last European Championship, and using a large number of young players. Therefore, whether these young players can really show their strength and produce better results on the stage of the World Cup is actually unknown. On the whole, Spain is more delicate in technology, strong in the position of winger and second center, and overall has a relatively good creative ability.
European powerhouse Germany is ranked 11th in the world and 9th in the European region. Germany topped the group with 27 points from 10 games in the European Zone, beating teams such as North Macedonia, Romania and Iceland to qualify for the World Cup. Germany is playing in the World Cup for the 20th time, having reached the final eight times in 19 previous appearances and won four titles in 1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014.
Although Germany lost 2-1 to Asian powerhouse Japan in the first round of the group stage, the team has not suffered two consecutive defeats in the past 30 games in all competitions.
The Spanish football team is ranked 6th in the World Football Association, while the German football team is ranked 11th in the World Football Association, and Spain has the upper hand in terms of the results of the two sides, and if the two teams play each other, the winning side may be Spain.
But from the competitions in recent years, the performance of the German men's national football team has been somewhat unsatisfactory, first of all, the 2018 World Cup, the German national team, as the team that finally won the Hercules Cup in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, was undoubtedly placed on high hopes, but it broke out and lost to South Korea 0:2 in the group stage.
If the World Cup of '18 is too far away to be a proof of today's competition, Germany's record in Euro 2021 is even worse. Germany lost 2-0 to England in a 16-8 match, ending in the round of 16 of the year.
On the other hand, the Spanish team, in the World Preliminary Round, first defeated Kosovo with a 2:0 record, and then ended the Italian team's 37-game winning streak with a 2:1 record, and finally lost to France with a 1:2 record after a fight, but also finally achieved the reputation of runner-up.
Spain won three consecutive games in all competitions, beating CONCACAF powerhouse Costa Rica 7-1 in the first round of the group stage, setting the team's biggest World Cup victory in history. Spain have scored in 10 consecutive games in all competitions, averaging 2.5 goals per game and being consistent in attack. Germany has an unbeaten rate of 80% in the last 10 games with 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats, and is unbeaten against powerhouses Italy and England.
Prediction: Spain vs Germany 3-0, 3-1
