🚨Confirmed XIs: Germany face a test of nerve against Switzerland Germany begin their final preparations for the 2026 World Cup by taking on Switzerland in a highly demanding tactical friendly. After an uncertain start, Julian Nagelsmann’s side comes into the match on a run of five straight wins, with a devastating return of 16 goals scored. With Florian Wirtz as their standout figure, “Die Mannschaft” are looking to banish the ghosts of recent World Cup disappointments and cement a dominant style before travelling to North America.

Standing in their way will be Murat Yakin’s ever-resilient Switzerland. The Swiss side arrive unbeaten after topping their qualifying group with remarkable defensive discipline, led by Manuel Akanji.
