Germany continue their Euro 2024 campaign with a round of 16 match against Denmark at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.
Julian Nagelsmann's side finished top of Group A after Niclas Füllkrug's stoppage-time goal earned them a late 1-1 draw with Switzerland in their final group game. Prior to that, Germany beat Scotland 5-1 and Hungary 2-0.
Curiously, Denmark managed to qualify for the knockout stages without winning a single match, drawing all three of their games in Group C.
In their final group stage match, Kasper Hjulmand's side were held to a nervy 0-0 draw by Serbia in Munich, finishing second ahead of Slovenia thanks to fewer yellow cards.
For the first time at the Euros, Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann will be changing his starting lineup, with Jonathan Tah's yellow card suspension forcing him to do so.
Nico Schlotterbeck, who came on as a substitute against Switzerland, is in line to replace the Bayer Leverkusen defender at the back.
On the injury front, Antonio Rüdiger is struggling with a thigh injury and if he doesn't recover in time, Waldemar Anton is likely to feature in his place.
Up front, Niclas Füllkrug is pushing for a start after scoring twice off the bench. Should he start, Kai Havertz would likely be moved back to an attacking midfield role, with Florian Wirtz dropping to the bench.
Denmark will be without Morten Hjulmand, who is suspended after picking up his second yellow card of the tournament against Serbia. Thomas Delaney is expected to be his replacement.
