Prediction
Indian team is in superb form in FIH Pro League after winning bronze medal in the Olympics. India currently sit at the top of the table with a comfortable lead over opponents. However, Germany are placed second and pose the biggest threat to India’s first position with 18 points in eight games.
India’s latest set of wins against England has boosted their moral, which will be further buoyed playing on home soil. Hence, Indian team is expected to pick close wins over a Germany team, who will be missing their senior players and rely on debut0-making youngsters.
