Spain will clash heads with Germany at the Al-Bayt Stadium this Sunday as they look to secure another positive result in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The Spaniards managed to earn a dominant 7-0 win over Costa Rica recently which will give them a lot of momentum ahead of this game.
Luis Enrique will opt for a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Marco Asensio will once again lead the charge for Spain in the final third while Alvaro Morata has to settle for a spot on the bench.
4-3-3 Spain Predicted Lineup To Face Germany
Defence
Unai Simon will operate as Spain’s first-choice goalkeeper once again after he secured a clean sheet in his last World Cup outing. Rodri will once again play alongside Aymeric Laporte at the centre of Enrique’s defence as they try to keep the German attackers at bay this weekend.
Cesar Azpilicueta will get a chance to impress as the right-back while Jordi Alba hopes to give a good account of himself as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the opposition half.
Eric Garcia will have to settle for a spot on the bench as he provides cover for the centre-back positions.
Midfield
Pedri, Sergio Busquets and Gavi will run the Spanish midfield as they try to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park and engineer some inviting chances on the attacking end of the pitch.
Koke and Carlos Soler will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they wait for their opportunity to catch the eye in the second 45 minutes if Enrique opts to call upon their services.
Attack
Dani Olmo will get another opportunity to put in a productive performance on the left wing while Ferran Torres looks to make a difference from the right. Marco Asensio will spearhead Spain’s attack once again on his own in the final third.
All three Spain forwards managed to find the back of the net versus Costa Rica, so we can expect them to be full of confidence going into this exciting clash versus Germany at the Al-Bayt Stadium.
Alvaro Morata has to be content with a spot on Enrique’s bench but might come on in the final quarter of the game if Spain are in need of a goal by then.
