Match Details
Germany-Serbia, Group D, Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth, Friday 18 June, 13.30 (local time)
Why Serbia would win?
Serbia knows how German football is played since four of their players play in Germany — Antonio Rukavina (1860 Munich), Neven Subotic (Borussia Dortmund), Gojko Kacar (Hertha Berlin) and Zdravko Kuzmanovic (Stuttgart).
Serbia plays rough and they have the most number of yellow cards so far in FIFA World Cup 2010. If they keep their cool, play rough and allow Germany to blow steam then they could make that their advantage.
Why Germany would win?
Germany has 2006 golden boot awardee in Miroslav Klose. While is no longer the same young player he once was, he can still score as evident in their game against Australia. This is a bigger test for Germany as Serbia plays stronger than Australia and we will see whether the great plays of Lukas Podolski, Philip Lahm and Miroslav Klose would amount to something.
These guys are expected to win and they should have no problems scoring goals as long as they keep their cool against rough playing Serbians.
Key Takeaway
Serbia needs to win this badly all they would be exiting the world cup since they lost against Ghana and Ghana is most likely to win against Australia. Expect Serbia to play as rough as they can and Germany should keep their heads in check.
