The German national team is in third place in the Group C table with 7 points from a win, 4 draws and a defeat, while England is at the bottom of the standings with only 3 points.

Today’s confrontation between the “Three Lions” and the German machines is a foregone conclusion, as the England team is officially relegated to the second level of the competition next season, while the German team is out of the competition to qualify for the next round.

England failed to win 5 consecutive matches for the first time since 2014, and did not win 5 consecutive non-friendly matches for the first time since 1992.

England have also failed to score a goal in their last three matches, their longest streak without a goal since November 2000.

It is worth noting that the top places in the four groups will qualify for the semi-finals, which will be held in mid-June, and the host of the semi-final matches and the final match will be determined from the four qualified teams.
