England v Germany
International Friendly
19-11-2013 @ 20.00 UK
How are the two teams form?
England won their World Cup Qualification group a single point ahead of Ukraine. After going through the group unbeaten, The Three Lions lost 2-0 against Chile on Wembley, however; it have to be said that Roy Hodgson was experimenting with the formations and players.
Meanwhile, Germany also made it through their World Cup qualification group unbeaten, winning with eight points to Sweden second. On Friday Germany met Italy in a hard played friendly which ended in a draw.
The last six matches between the two sides have ended with three wins to both teams.
What are the probable line-ups?
Joe Hart is back in the England goal, while Adam Lallana will have his second succesive match after getting his debut on Friday. Germany will be saving some of the players, why Dortmund keeper Weidenfeller will have his debut in the German goal against England.
Hart
Walker - Smalling - Jagielka - Cole
Gerrard - Cleverley
Townsend - Rooney - Lallane
Sturridge

Weidenfeller
What to expect from this match?
Despite Germany saving some of the biggest profiles, it is two quality line-ups clashing tomorrow. This match might be a friendly, but the meetings between the two sides are almost never "friendly" and I expect this one to be played hard, as well. England might be playing their best players at the moment, but England are favorites in my eyes. Their "B" squad is almost as good as their "A", and I think England will get in trouble tomorrow.
What are the odds?
All of the bookmakers have Germany as favorites with Youwin offering the best odds with 6/4. Meanwhile, PaddyPower offers a 21/10 for an England victory while a draw gives 5/2 at Bwin.
