Defending champions Germany will go for the kill against South Korea to enter the World Cup Last 16 when they face-off in their final Group F contest at the Kazan Arena here today. Brazil, on the other hand, will look to build on their morale-boosting 2-0 win over Costa Rica and seal a berth in the knockout stages when they take the field against Serbia in their final Group E match, a couple of hours later.
Germany have three points from two games, while South Korea are currently last in Group F with two losses, but they still have a chance to advance to the Round of 16. If South Korea beat Germany and Sweden (three points) lose to Mexico (six points), then the three teams, excluding Mexico would be tied at one win and two losses, meaning the second and last position to qualify from the group will be down to goal difference, goal scored, head-to-head record and then fair play rules. Germany, four-time World Cup winners, are the top-ranked team in the world, while South Korea are way down at No. 57. Germany lost their opener to Mexico but kept their chances alive thanks to a Toni Kroos 95th-minute winner against Sweden.
