http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 versus Brazil – International friendly: Match Preview
Brazil travel to Germany to take on the European giants in a friendly encounter at Stuttgart; let’s take a look at how both the teams might line up and which players will feature prominently for them in this encounter which holds
pride and bragging rights at stake...
Germany
Germany’s match against Brazil was supposed to be a friendly/farewell encounter for their veteran midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 midfielder has refused to take part in the match due to his differences with Joachim
Löw. Nonetheless, Germany will be the favourites to win against Brazil in this rematch of the 2002 FIFA World Cup final, a match that Germany lost.
Recently the Bavarian powerhouses have been on a strong run of form which can be seen by their results in the EURO 2012 qualification. Germany have won their last three international matches as their last win came against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Azerbaijan-c2845
by three goals to one. Their last defeat came against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Australia-c746 in March of 2011.
Brazil
The mighty Brazil will look to win their friendly encounter against Germany but such a thing is easier said than done. The current Brazilian national team side has come under severe criticism of late after their knockout from the
Copa http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 at the Quarterfinal stage.
Brazil have only recorded two wins in their last five competitive fixtures. They have drawn three and won two out of their last five matches and their latest victory came over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ecuador-c2889 in the 2011 Copa America.
Team News
Germany will depend on their new starlet Mario Gotze to shine as Mesut Ozil has been left out of their squad for the friendly against Brazil. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 will play in central midfield
against the South American giants. Christian Trasch and Lahm are favourites to start as the home team’s two wing backs on the night. Up front, Podolski and Muller will compliment the goal scoring figure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049.
Expected Germany line up: Neuer, Trasch, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Muller, Gotze, Podolski, Klose
Brazil will probably start with both Ganso and Neymar in their starting line up. Ganso will marshal the midfield area and try to feed in the mercurial striker Neymar who will play up front for the Brazilian national team in their
friendly encounter against Germany. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucio-c22597 are set to start at the back.
Expected Brazil line up: Cesar, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639, Pato
Prediction
The match doesn’t carry as much important as some pundits would believe as it is just a friendly encounter. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 will look to salvage some pride by putting Germany to the sword whilst Joachim Löw will hope that his team will
be able to give a good account of themselves. As the home team Germany are favourites to win against Brazil. Prediction: 2-1 to Germany.
