Costa Rica vs Germany LIVE: Muller leads line and Havertz benched for HUGE World Cup clash as Germany seek last-16 place

GERMANY take on Costa Rica in a must-win match if they are to qualify for the last-16 and the teams are in!

Hansi Flick’s side currently sit rock-bottom of the group having lost their opening match against Japan before drawing with Spain.

But the European giants can still qualify should they beat Costa Rica in their final group encounter.

However, Germany will need a huge favour from Spain when they take on second-place Japan in the other fixture.

And Flick has decided his team for the clash, opting for Thomas Muller in attack ahead of Kai Havertz and Niclas Fullkrug, who scored last time out.
