The fate of Group E rests on Sudan's fixture against Burkina Faso. Algeria are through and Equatorial Guinea have been knocked out. All that's left is this. Sudan condemned Equatorial Guinea against the odds on Sunday and kept their hopes very much alive with a 1-0 win. They're level on three points apiece with the Burkinabe, which means that this is a tantalising straight shoot-out for second spot.

Germany's last two FIFA World Cup outings have been disastrous. The four time World Champions first failed to make it out of the group stage in 2018 under Joachim Löw after losing final game against Soouth Korea 2-0. A similar fate awaited Hansi Flick in the 2022 World Cup when Germany's 2-1 loss to Japan and 1-1 draw to Spain was only enough to secure a one way ticket back home. After two monumental disappointments, Julian Nagelsman will be hoping for brighter fortunes, but the odds may already be stacked against 38-year-old manager.

It's not a super easy group, but a manageable one in which we want to prevail,
