Host nation will miss their star striker Neymar in this game as the 22 year old player got injured in last match against Colombia. Not only this, their favorite captain Thiago Silva is also banned for this clash after receiving a second yellow card in this competition and Dante might as well replace him in the spot today. It is expected that David Luiz could take charge as the captain. Last time, both teams met in 2002 World Cup final match. Brazil lifted the 5th FIFA World Cup trophy defeating the Die Mannschaft by 2-0. So, it is a great chance for Germany to make it to the final. Now, all responsibilities on the shoulders of David Luiz who have to play an essential role against coach Joachim Low's squad. Defense could play a vital role for host nation which could lead to penalties.
Miroslav Klose is still waiting for one
more goal to be on top of World Cup all time top goal scorer. His team partner Thomas Muller is in the race of Golden boot who scored 4 goals in 5 games so far. Germany have well experienced as well as young talent players. Matt Hummels is tasting the huge success in this world cup. He has scored 2 goals against one of the strongest teams like Portugal & France. His last goal vs France was winning goal for DFB eleven.
As expected it's going to be a tough game for both sides. Joachim Löw has failed to disregard the Brazilian side despite loosing their top players, both teams will be conservative and rely most on the counter-attack. I expect the game to be settled after 90 minutes of intense action.
