France vs Germany: 5 talking points ahead of Nations League clash

#4 Loew to blood in youngsters?

Loew might hand a few youngsters a chance to shine

Despite the importance of the clash, manager Joechim Loew might be tempted to make a few tweaks from the starting XI that were comprehensively beaten by the Netherlands. Perhaps, he might turn towards the youth for a desperate change of fortunes.

Julian Draxler must be given an opportunity to exhibit his creativity, while the aforementioned Sane could feature on the left-hand side with Uth dropping to the bench and Werner shifting into his natural position as the centre-forward.

Joshua Kimmich is best suited as a right-back and must revert to that role after a failed experiment in central midfield. Bayern midfielder Leon Goretzka too, might fancy his chances alongside Toni Kroos at the base of midfield. Loew isn't short of options, but he just needs to find the right formation to kick things into gear. Germany's young guns are among the most talented and with the right tactics, can lift this team out of the lurch.
