Doha, November 26 (QNA) - A fateful confrontation awaits Germany on Sunday against Spain as there is no alternative to winning to maintain World Cup hopes and revenge their 0-6 humiliating loss to Spain two years ago in the UEFA Nations League.

It won't be easy for the coach Hansi Flick's players, especially after the fiasco in the first round against Japan.

Spain's Luis Enrique will likely keep the same squad in tomorrow's match, which includes a distinguished group of players.

Tomorrow's meeting will be the fifth in the history of Germany versus Spain matches at the World Cup, which started with a victory for Germnay in the 1966 England World Cup, then the Germans repeated the same result in the 1982 Italy World Cup, while a draw decided their match at the 1994 USA World Cup, and Spain won 1-0 in their famous match in the semi-finals of the 2010 South Africa World Cup.

Germany and Spain met in 17 matches, friendly or official, each team won in five games and drew in seven. (QNA)
