Germany v Australia Team News

Germany are missing usual midfield talisman Michael Ballack due to injury and Bastian Schweinsteiger is likely to have to step up now and prove his successor. Germany are likely to go with Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski up front, both were in good form in qualifying but not so much in their repective domestic campaigns.

BACK MIROSLAV KLOSE TO SCORE FIRST AGAINST AUSTRALIA

Germany's first goal is very likely to come from one of their two strikers, who are most likely to be Mirolsav Klose and Lukas Podolski. Only three Germany players scored more than three goals in qualifying and one of those is Michael Ballack and he is injured. Podolski scored six goals in nine games which is a good record but he can get stuck out wide sometimes and that comment certainly doesn't apply to Klose, who scored seven goals in six starts in qualifyng. He also knows all about scoring at the World Cup, he has ten World Cups and will be looking to score five or six this year to equal or better Ronaldo's record.

It looks as though it will be 1-0 to Germany at half time and 2-0 at full time.
