Germany VS Serbia

Under the guidance of their new head coach, Germany has adopted a well-balanced 4-2-3-1 formation, sticking to their classic possession-focused build-up style while ramping up high pressing in the final third and accelerating transitions between attack and defense. Their regular tactical system is centered on midfield control. The side uses non-stop short combination passes and wide rotations to stretch the opposition’s defensive line, with midfield playmakers orchestrating the game tempo to carve out sufficient attacking space for forwards. Wide play serves as their primary scoring outlet, as wingers and full-backs frequently link up to push forward, creating goal-scoring chances via flank dribbles and byline crosses, while central attackers make timed overlapping runs to form a multi-point attacking structure. Still, the team has obvious tactical shortcomings at the current stage. With key core players sidelined, their midfield creativity has dropped significantly, leaving them with limited attacking options against packed deep defenses, as they lack both sharp penetrating through passes and consistent long-range finishing ability.
