Germany fielded the same starting XI in both victories over Curaçao (7-1) and Côte d’Ivoire (2-1):
Germany: Neuer – Kimmich (c), Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown – Pavlović, Nmecha – Sané, Musiala, Wirtz – Havertz
Substitutes vs. Curaçao: Undav (64’), Goretzka (73’), Rüdiger (73’), Raum (73’), Anton (83’)
Substitutes vs. Côte d’Ivoire: Rüdiger (46’), Amiri (60’), Undav (60’), Leweling (60’), Goretzka (85’)
With first place assured, might Nagelsmann give the rest of his squad an opportunity to prove themselves against Ecuador ahead of the knockout stage?
