Germany, having already confirmed top spot in Group E, face Ecuador in their final group match on Thursday at the New York New Jersey Stadium. While Germany aim to continue their flawless run, Ecuador are chasing their first goal of the tournament along with a vital three points to keep their hopes of progressing alive.
Germany arrive in excellent form after winning both of their group matches. They began with an emphatic 7-1 victory over Curaçao, demonstrating their attacking strength, before following it up with a 2-1 win against Ivory Coast. Those results ensured their progression to the next round as group winners.
With qualification already secured, head coach Julian Nagelsmann is expected to make several changes to his starting eleven.
One setback for Germany is the injury to Nico Schlotterbeck, who has been ruled out for the rest of the tournament after suffering ankle ligament damage in the match against Ivory Coast.
In defence, either Antonio Rüdiger or Malick Thiaw is expected to partner Jonathan Tah at centre-back.
