Germany will host England at Olympiastadion Berlin in their second round of the UEFA Nations League campaign. Match day schedules for June 7, 2022 at 21:45 EAT.
Germany tried and failed on two previous occasions to progress to the latter stages of the Nations League and continue to ramp up their preparations for the 2022 World Cup, which can hardly turn out to be any worse than their group-stage calamity in 2018. Hosts Germany are now unbeaten in 10 matches, though their last two were draws. They’ve failed to score in just two of their last 15 matches and going to this game they will have revenge on the agenda.
Die Mannschaft shared spoils 1-1 Nations League with Italy in their last encounter. In that match Germany had 67% possession, 12 shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by Joshua Kimmich (73′). Italy got 11 shots with two of them on target and a goal by Lorenzo Pellegrini (70′).
Meanwhile, England will travel to Germany for their second game in Group 3, of League A in the Nations League. Southgate’s troops have now gone three games without a goal away from home in the Nations League, so the spirits of the Euro 2020 heroes must be well and truly channeled here. Southgate will want a return to the defensive shape that has seen his side keep three clean sheets in the last five matches.
England will be looking to bounce back from 1-0 Nations League defeat at the hands of Hungary in their last action. In that match, England managed 57% possession, 12 shots with four of them on target, Hungary got 11 shots with six of them on target and a goal by Dominik Szoboszlai (66′).
