Germany vs. Spain: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Euro U-21 Match Preview

Germany and Spain will clash on Sunday in Israel in what will be each side's second matchup in Group B of the 2013 European Under-21 Championship.

Spain is coming off a 1-0 victory over Russia on Thursday while the Germans will look to rebound after a disappointing 3-2 loss to the Dutch. While Spain looks like the better squad thus far, Germany will be gunning for a result, desperately needing a win after coming away from its first match with zero points. 

Here we'll get you set for Sunday's Group B clash in Netanya.

Where: Sar-Tov Stadium, Netanya, Israel

When: Sunday, June 9 at 2:30 p.m. ET

Watch: ESPN Deportes

Player to Watch for Germany: Lewis Holtby

Having made three appearances for the German senior national team in the past, 22-year-old Lewis Holtby will be the player to watch for Germany on Sunday.

The up-and-coming midfielder boasts great awareness, tremendous vision and a solid nose for goal.

Holtby, who has made 17 appearances for Tottenham this season, scored in Thursday's opening loss to the Netherlands and has racked up more than a dozen goals during his time with the U21 squad.

Watch for Holtby to shine in midfield for Germany against a talented Spanish group on Sunday.

Player to Watch for Spain: Alvaro Morata

Spanish forward Alvaro Morata is no stranger to the big stage having netted two goals in 18 appearances for Real Madrid dating back to 2011.

The 20-year-old striker was a star for Real's B squad, scoring 44 goals in 83 appearances. 

Like Holtby, Morata is an exceptional talent and one sure to stand out from the crowd on Sunday. Morata has excellent anticipation and speed with the ball at his feet. If he gets an opening against Germany, he could very easily add to his goal count in Israel this summer.

Key Matchup: Midfield

Sunday's key matchup will take place in midfield, where the Spanish, much like the senior national team, are phenomenal at executing short passes to move the ball forward and also keep the opposition off the ball.

Meanwhile, Germany has struggled to maintain possession as of late, holding the ball for just 40 percent of the time in its loss to the Dutch. The Germans managed to get eight shots off, but only one fell on goal as the first score came off a penalty.

If Spain continues to take its time in possession and Germany is unable to generate chances on the break, the defending champions will come away with three more points in Group B this weekend.

Prediction

Germany boasts a potent attack, led by Lewis Holtby, but Spain's ability to possess the ball for long stretches will neutralize Germany in that area.

The Spanish were in possession for 78 percent of the match against Russia on Thursday, recording 21 shots to Russia's two. If Spain can hold the ball and limit Germany's scoring chances, it won't need to score a ton of goals in this match.

Therefore, look for a patient Spanish approach to pay off. Germany was out-possessed significantly by the Netherlands in its opener, and Sunday shouldn't be much different. 

Spain 1, Germany 0
