SPA vs GER Dream11 Tips for Spain vs Germany UEFA Nations League 17 November

SPA vs GER Dream11: Estadio de La Cartuja will play host to Spain and Germany in what will be a top of the table clash. Germany overtook the La Roja after they beat Ukraine 3-1 while Spain had to rely on a last-minute goal to get a point against Switzerland with Sergio Ramos missing two penalties in the game. The last time the two sides met was in the first leg of this fixture that ended in a 1-1 draw where a 96th minute Jose Gaya goal rescued a point after Timo Werner scored what felt like the winner. Spain’s shock loss to Ukraine is what has put them in second place but a win against Germany will send them back on top.

SPA vs GER Prediction, Injury Report, Starting XI

A) Spain Team News 

Injury Report, Unavailability: Spain is not dealing with any injuries to the side.

Doubtful starters: Sergio Busquets is doubtful with a muscle injury and there is a chance he may not be risked for the game against Germany especially with other options available.

Expected changes: Luis Enrique opted for Unai Simon over David de Gea for both of Spain’s games this week and is likely to carry on with him. Spain’s backline will remain unchanged with Sergio Ramos keeping his place despite the two missed penalties. Rodri is likely to replace Sergio Busquets in midfield, alongside Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino and Real Betis’ Sergio Canales. Gerard Moreno’s equalizer off the bench should be enough to get him back in the lineup and Alvaro Morata may get a chance ahead of Ferran Torres.

SPA Playing 11 (probable):
David de Gea (GK)
Sergi Roberto
Sergio Ramos
Pau Torres
Sergio Reguilon
Sergio Canales
Rodri
Mikel Merino
Mikel Oyarzabal
Alvaro Morata
Gerard Moreno

B) Germany Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Germany will be without a few key players like Joshua Kimmich, Julian Brandt and Robin Gosens for the SPA vs GER Dream11 Prediction.

Doubtful: Joachim Lowe will not have any doubtful players for this game.

Expected changes: Germany may opt for the same lineup that beat Ukraine convincingly but a formation change is on the cards. A backline of Matthias Ginter, Niklas Sule, Antonio Rudiger and Philipp Max is the most likely backline to start ahead of Manuel Neuer. Toni Kroos may return to the heart of the midfield alongside Leon Goretzka and Ilkay Gundogan. The resourceful front three of Serge Gnabry, Timo Werner and Leroy Sane should keep their place up-front.

GER Playing 11 (probable):
Manuel Neuer (GK)
Matthias Ginter
Niklas Sule
Antonio Rudiger
Philipp Max
Ilkay Gundogan
Toni Kroos
Leon Goretzka
Leroy Sane
Timo Werner

SPA vs GER Today Match Prediction Football Match

Betway and Betfair are offering similar odds, favouring a Spain win at 2.30 and a Germany win at 3.00. However, these odds can be misleading as Germany are unbeaten in 12 games and have scored 7 times in their last 3 games. In comparison, Spain has scored just 2. The winner of the game wins the group but Germany has the advantage as a draw will see them through to the next round but Spain need nothing less than a win in the SPA vs GER Today Match Prediction. Spain does have the home advantage but Germany should be able to see this through.
