Germany vs Mexico 0-1 Highlights Download 17 June 2018 World Cup

Mexico will be keen to start strongly today and have named a rather attacking line-up in a 4-3-3 formation. Hernandez and Vela are both experienced at a high level but PSV Eindhoven’s Lozano could be one to watch for the tournament. He’ll be head-to-head with another younger player in today’s game, battling Kimmich down the left.

Joachim Low names a strong Germany side, with the major decisions being the selection of Neuer between the sticks after a lengthy battle with injury and Ozil getting the nod ahead of Reus. Six of the selected players started the World Cup final victory against Argentina four years ago.

Mexico subs: Jesus Corona, Alfredo Talavera, Marco Fabian, Raul Jimenez, Jonathan dos Santos, Giovani dos Santos, Edson Alvarez, Rafael Marquez, Oribe Peralta, Jesus Manuel Corona, Javier Aquino, Erick Gutierrez.
