Gareth Southgate’s men all set to take on Germany for a critical clash in Euro 2020

As the match will be starting at 6 PM, Wembley will witness England facing Germany. It’s much like a semi-final as the losing team will be knocked out of the tournament before the actual quarter-finals begin.

One of the crucial games for either side, this ‘Round of 16’ match can be a turning point as the tournament progresses and builds confidence in the winning team. Also, the winner will have good chances of reaching the finals of Euro 2020, as both the contenders are quite strong.

The winning team will have to face Sweden or Ukraine in the quarter-finals. Later, the team progressing forward will then take on Denmark or the Czech Republic in the semis. So, it’s of no surprise to both England and Germany to make a strong base before they move on.

The older records in the history of Germany gaining upper hand over England may be a twister now. There’s nothing much in prediction before the result comes up. Besides, at the last World Cup, England won a shootout against Colombia.

England has played with a back three and wing-backs many times. This includes during the times of World Cup, and many of their players play that system with their clubs. It doesn’t matter with going a four or a five, but England has to keep German’s Kimmich and Gosens in mind.

Ilkay Gundogan and Toni Kroos are very good midfielders although not too good at the moment. However, Kimmich and Gosens can balance everything, while England could go with either Kyle Walker or Tyrone Mingsalong with John Stones and Harry Maguire.

Considering Walker in the central three, Reece James or Kieran Trippier at right wing-back and Luke Shaw on the left can be the right options. Besides, Raheem Sterling is playing his best role in the ongoing Euro 2020 tournament.
