Chile vs Germany Match Preview:

This will be a second bout between the national football teams of Chile and Germany as they've met earlier in the tournament when there was set a 1-1 draw in their group stage round 2 fixture, 22 June 2017, in Kazan, and the early 6th-minute's goal from Alexis Sanches gave the lead to his team but Chile weren't able to carry it through to a win as Lars Stindl made it level minutes to half-time.

As a matter of fact, the first game against Chile has seen the Germany team score the least scoring number of a goal because all their other matches, including the semi-final vs Mexico, have contained an average of 3.33 goals per game.

Chile and Germany Team News

Now, when both sides are playing for a Confederations Cup trophy, it feels right to say that the final will be the toughest challenge of the competition for the two footballing countries, despite Germany having a better playing shape with Leon Goretzka and Timo Werner as two top scorers of the whole tournament, while Chile can only boast of the four goals they have netted across four matches and as many as only one victory at this spell.

The only success in the form of outplaying the opposition came in Chile's opening 2-0 win against Cameroon. And later on Juan Antonio Pizzi's men could merely be content with three draws of a succession: 1-1 vs Germany and Australia, whereas their semi-final clash to Portugal finished goalless, although La Roja had had real scoring chances to be in the lead throughout the match, and the winner had to be decided on an after-match penalty shootout where Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo exceptionally worked miracles saving three successive shots by the Portugal side.

In the meantime, a day after the first semi-final, a Germany side thrashed Mexico with a humiliating 4-1 triumph which put the Mexico team on their knees early in the game after Goretzka had slotted home two balls within the opening eight minutes to their advancing semi-final. Nevertheless, the CONCACAF winners managed to show composure and pull themselves together, creating regrettable efforts that might have been turned into goals, to get back in the game until it's too late. And happened what wasn't wished for in no event - the Mexicans conceded a third from another on-the-list scorer Time Werner before Marco Fabian pulled one back and two minutes later a Amin Younes goal finished off the game.

Chile - 3.16Draw - 3.42Germany - 2.43

So, as we see, Germany team approach the final being very impressive in attack and no less collected at the back with a centre-back trio of Matthias Ginter, Antonio Rudiger and Joshua Kimmich, with freer wing-backs Jonas Hector and Benjamin Henrichs, who can not only fall back and form a five-defender backline but are also crucial at Germany's attacking pace.

Turning to a possible Chile line-up, Pizzi will possibly be consistent not to apply risky tweaks to his first-team squad, with Eduardo Vargas and Alexis Sanchez playing up front, being backed up from a deeper role that is taken by Arturo Vidal as a centre-attacking midfielder. Then the link of mid-field players Charles Aranguiz, Marcelo Diaz and Pablo Hernandez seems to be working at every time no matter the opponent they play, while a back four including Jean Beausejour and Mauricio Isla as wing-backs, Gonzalo Jara and Gary Medel in the heart of defence is something Chile coach Antonio Pizzi can rely on.

Possible Teams' Starting Line-ups:

Chile: Claudio Bravo - Mauricio Isla, Gonzalo Jara, Marcelo Diaz, Jean Beausejour - Charles Aranguiz, Pablo Hernandez, Marcelo Diaz - Arturo Vidal - Eduardo Vargas, Alexis Sanchez (4-3-1-2 formation)

Germany: Marc-Andre ter Stegen - Antonio Rudiger, Joshua Kimmich, Matthias Ginter - Benjamin Henrichs, Jonas Hector, Emre Can, Sebastian Rudy - Leon Goretzka, Julian Draxler - Timo Werner (3-4-2-1 formation)

Conclusion and Match Preview:

Given the fact that Germany are on top of the most scoring tournament teams makes us think the Chile team seems to be sort of toughie for the Germans to overcome, though. Besides, even prior to Chile's edging semi-final success over Portugal they were given fewer chances of getting through, and that being said, La Roja looked much more of the better side to win in regular time.

Thus it comes to conclusion both Joachim Low's and Antonia Pizzi's men will force a real test for their teams, and we wonder who of them are able to withstand it. But, that the only thing clear is that Germany will try to pull the game over with early goals like they've been doing across their entire Confederations Cup participation, and if they do score first, it will make easier for Chile to go forward as the Germany team tend to give ball possession and look for sharp counter-attacks.
