This will be Jürgen Klopp’s first match in charge of Die Mannschaft on German soil, with WWK Arena in Augsburg set to host the encounter. Klopp will look to bounce back from the draw against the Netherlands in his debut on the Germany sidelines.
Despite Germany’s efforts to take the lead before the break, chances from Joshua Kimmich, Karim Adeyemi, Yann Aurel Bisseck and Felix Nmecha in the closing minutes fail to produce a goal.
