PREVIEW

Germany up against history

AFP, Johannesburg
Coach Joachim Loew says fitness will be the key for his Germany team when they take on Ghana on Wednesday with their World Cup survival at stake.
The Germans need to get their campaign back on track after their shock defeat to Serbia and a loss to Ghana would mean they fail to qualify from the World Cup's group stages for the first time in their history.
Joachim Loew’s side got off to the ideal start when they hammered Australia 4-0 in their opening game, but after striker Miroslav Klose was sent off, the Serbs brought them down to earth with a 1-0 defeat.
Klose, the top scorer at the 2006 World Cup, is suspended for the Ghana clash at Johannesburg's Soccer City which will decide the winner of Group D and only a win will guarantee the Germans a place in the Round of 16.
Five of the squad are on a yellow card and a second for any of the quintet will see them suspended for the last 16 match, should Germany progress.
Loew expects a tough, physical encounter against Africa's Black Stars who are undefeated in Group D after a draw with Australia and a win over Serbia.
"Ghana are fast and can play well on the counter, they
don’t shy away from one-to-one duels as they are strong, they have players who can put in fantastic sprints," said the 50-year-old.
"The general tempo against Ghana will be higher than Serbia, the Serbs were a bit slow out of the blocks and they had a draw in mind with only one forward.
"It will be quicker, but fitness is written with a capital 'F' in the Germany squad and we can cope with it."
Brazilian-born Cacau is expected to start as the lone striker with Lukas Podolski, who missed a penalty against Serbia, Mesut Ozil and
Thomas Mueller as an attacking midfield.
Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac expects to have his first-choice centrebacks back as captain John Mensah and fellow defender Isaac Vorsah both missed Saturday's 1-1 draw with Australia through injury.
Rajevac revealed that both experienced defenders might have been able to play against Australia if he had been willing
to risk them missing out on the Germany game.
Mensah believes Germany will be feeling under intense
pressure after the defeat to the Serbs punctured the optimism generated by their demolition often-man Australia.
