The German team this year has quite a number of question marks. Defensively the stability has been lacking for quite some time. Against Portugal four central defenders will start the game with Howedes, Mertesacker, Hummels and Boateng. In the midfield the fitness of Schweinsteiger (who is probably going to be on the bench in the beginning) and Khedira is lacking. Offensively the team has great names, but Low still hasn't figured out how to make them work their best. Ozil seems to have stabilised against Armenia, but for quite some time now his form has been down. The question is also whether the team can generate enough power against teams with well-organised defenses with 36-year old Klose as the only true forward on the team.
