Germany should rebound from tht 2-2 draw against Cameroon with a win though, Low has said the draw wasnt acceptable and they will be putting in full effort to get the win before heading off to WC. Problem with Germany is their lack of an out-and-out goal scorer, perhaps Klose will start today tho.
Armenia are inconsistent and have been very poor defensively recently, conceding 3 against UAE and then 3 against Algeria. I know that Armenia fans are very concerned about their right back (who their Coach insists on playing) Mkoyan getting torn apart by Reus. Would be very surprised if Germany dont win this. Brazil are obviously playing a better side in Serbia, and I'd be less surprised if they drew with Serbia than if if Germany drew with Armenia tonight.
The expected lineups for Germany/Armenia are:
Roman Berezovsky Levon Hayrapetyan Robert Arzumanyan Varazdat Haroyan Hrayr Mkoyan Artur Yedigaryan Rumyan Hovsepyan Edgar Manucharyan Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Vice-captain) Gevorg Ghazaryan Yura Movsisyan
Response by an Armenia fan on one of their forums!...
At end of day they are friendlies so anything can happen. The main focus for a lot of these players will be to just not get tired and not get injured. Somebody like Neymar for example might just stroll around and have no interest in putting in anywhere near 100% effort - it's not like he will get dropped for first WC game if he doest perform tonight
quite an experimental and more defensive based lineup on paper. If Lahm is left-back than that means Hummels is playing in defensive midfield alongside Khedira - so that's two more defensive minded midfielders together, so only 4 decent attacking players in Reus, Schurrle, Muller, and Kroos. Not really necessary when playing at home against a side like Armenia! I thought Draxler or Klose would start instead and could of had Khedira/Hummels alongside Kroos in centre-mid, then Reus and Schurrle on wings and Muller and Klose up top or Muller up top with Draxler behind
lol there was a line error in the sbr sportbooks today, had germany ml at +550 and poland at +150. It was great for about 30mins then someone leaked the info
