GERMANY VS JAPAN PREDICTION
Everywhere you look across this German 5x5 squad there is talent. The Wagner brothers immediately jump off the page, as does Dennis Schroder and this team are an excellent mix of defensive stability, combined with offensive potency. In a difficult group, Germany stands out and Japan faces a daunting prospect to contain them.
When comparing the two squads, Germany has a significant edge in all departments, including strength-in-depth. The longer this encounter goes on, Germany’s superiority should really tell and they are expected not only to win this one, but to win by a wide margin. Any other outcome would be a big surprise.
