The tactical read
Germany typically set up in 4-2-3-1 and make their first change around minute 55 - roughly 3 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 4 matches, the same shape held up in 2 of them. The quickest hook came at 46' away at Ecuador; the longest wait stretched to 64' at home to Curaçao.
They've won more than they've lost across these 4 matches (2-1-1) - a manager riding momentum tends to stick with what's working, so don't expect wholesale changes to the plan.
