Germany will take on Armenia in the matchday 5 of the 2022 World Cup qualifying Group J at Mercedes-Benz Arena on Sunday. The kick-off is at 20:45 CEST.

Preview

Former Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick kicked off his reign at the helm of Germany with a confident 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein on Thursday night courtesy of goals from Timo Werner and Leroy Sane. Now, Die Mannschaft will be looking to leapfrog Armenia at the top of Group J as they are currently one point behind Joaquin Caparros' men who shared points with North Macedonia earlier this week.

As a reminder, Germany opened their WC qualifying run with consecutive wins over Iceland (3-0) and Romania (1-0) before their sensational 2-1 loss to the Macedonians in March. The Armenians, for their part, defeated Liechtenstein (1-0), Iceland (2-0) and Romania (3-2) during the spring international break.

Team news

Both Flick and Caparros have no injury doubts for their head-to-head meeting.

Prediction

Well, it's no coincidence that the Armenians are currently ahead of the Germans in their group and thus it would be no surprise to see the visitors causing major problems to Die Mannschaft at Mercedes-Benz Arena. On the other hand, Caparros' men will travel to Stuttgart on the back of a goalless draw with North Macedonia and that fact doesn't make them any favours ahead of the potential Group J decider. Therefore, let's back Flick to extend his winning streak in charge of Germany to two games on Sunday.
