Group E is one of the fiercest of the tournament with Costa Rica and Japan posing a genuine threat to Spain and Germany for progression to the knock-out stage. The stakes for match day two's game between the longtime European rivals will surely be as high as the entertainment factor.
Germany won the FIFA World Cup in 1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014, but stunned everyone by failing to progress past the group stage as the defending title holders in 2018. They have experience on their side and will be motivated to leave nothing to chance after their early exit in the last world cup.
Spain took the World Cup title in 2010, during a four-year glory period for La Roga book-ended by repeat victories at the Euros in 2008 and 2012. The team have lost some of their most experienced plays in the decade since but boasts a considerable amount of young, ambitious talent ready to see Spain return to the top.
Adding to the excitement and tension of this showdown is a startlingly even record between these two countries historically. In the 25 games the teams have played against each other in the past, Spain has won eight, Germany has won nine and eight were draws.
Spain thrashed Germany 6-0 in the Nations League in November 2020, the biggest winning margin between the two teams and a big vote of confidence for Monday morning's match. For Germany, this defeat is surely still raw, further fueling their drive for revenge on the world stage as they take on Spain at Al Bayt Stadium.
