What is the story about?

Thanks to Florian Wirtz’s matching pair of goals and assists, Germany outlasted Switzerland in a dramatic 4-3 win during Friday’s friendly. Besides Joshua Kimmich’s bloodied face, Germany came away relatively unscathed. Julian Nagelsmann started the game with his preferred starting XI out of the available players but some of the substitutes, like Lennart Karl and Nick Woltemade, had standout performances.

After flying through CAF qualifying to earn a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Ghana just received

a harsh reality check in a 5-1 win loss to Austria. Manager Otto Addo will want to see a better showing from the Black Stars in the last international break before heading to their World Cup base camp in Rhode Island.

Prediction

Germany wins 4-0. Germany will focus on possession and controlling the pace to limit Ghana’s superior speed. Florian Wirtz will pick up where he left off last match, dropping a pair of elite assists to Nick Woltemade and Deniz Undav in the first half. In the second half, Lennart Karl will score his first international goal for Germany and Nico Schlotterbeck will score on a header from a set piece.
