Germany, boasting an impressive record in the competition with only two losses in their previous 20 group matches, will be looking to assert their dominance against the Nigerian side, who will be seeking to build on their momentum and secure a positive result.

Head-to-Head Records

The Falconets of Nigeria have previously faced off against Germany on three occasions, and are winless against the Europeans in all. Tomorrow will mark the fourth encounter between the two sides. This will potentially be a tough nut to crack for Nigeria, given that Germany's impressive record in the competition. Germany has only lost two of their previous 20 group matches, sending a warning to their African opponent.

Expectations

The Falconets come into this match after a hard-fought 1-0 win against Korea Republic in their group opener. They will be looking to build on this momentum against a strong German side. 

Germany, on the other hand, defeated Venezuela 5-2 in their opening match, showcasing their attacking prowess. The Falconets will need to be at their best to contain the German attack and secure a positive result.
