Germany vs. Peru: Time, Live Stream, TV Schedule and Odds

Germany will attempt to get back to winning ways when they meet Peru in an international friendly at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena on Sunday.

Die Mannschaft drew 0-0 with 2018 FIFA World Cup champions France in their UEFA Nations League opener. The squad is struggling to overcome a dismal World Cup campaign that saw them eliminated at the group stage despite entering the tournament as holders.

Germany will have to win in Sinsheim without Leroy Sane after the Manchester City attacker withdrew from the squad. The defence will be tested by the pace and experience of a Peru forward line led by the 33-year-old Jefferson Farfan.

Bookmakers favour a Germany win, with Oddschecker showing Die Mannschaft are at 1-4, while Peru can be taken at 12-1. The draw is listed at 19-4.

Sane won't be involved after the national team revealed he had left the squad following a talk with head coach Joachim Low:

Goal's Sam Lee provided more details:

Low overlooked Sane for the World Cup, a costly decision given the latter's brilliant form for Manchester City last season. However, Low has resisted calls to abandon his style of play in light of his side's failure in Russia, saying, per Adam Wareing of The Sun: "We've been really successful for the last eight years. It would be nonsense to change our style completely."

Low may be bullish about his methods but not everybody believes he can make the tweaks necessary after events in Russia. Specifically, ESPN FC's Raphael Honigstein doesn't think the 58-year-old has the players to wean Germany off a reliance on possession:

"Furthermore, the skill set of the players at Low's disposal lends itself to a passing game. There are no big centre-forwards happy to make the ball stick with their backs to goal, no physically imposing central midfielders to soak up the pressure, and the likes of Timo Werner and Leroy Sane -- players who offer real pace in attack -- are not at the level of Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe."

Regardless of how he chooses to approach upcoming matches, Low can still call on ample talent. The midfield is bossed by playmakers Ilkay Gundogan and Toni Kroos, while Julian Brandt, Julian Draxler and Marco Reus offer cutting edge from wide areas.

All three possess pace, perceptive movement and coolness in front of goal. Creating chances was rarely a problem for Die Mannschaft in Russia, yet finding the net has been an issue.

Low's men have failed to score in three of their past four matches despite their quality in forward areas.

Goals are also at a premium for Peru, even with Farfan's ability to find space in the final third. The Lokomotiv Moscow ace can operate out wide or through the middle but will need the support of Christian Cueva, who has the vision and technique to unlock Germany's defence.

If the hosts cede possession, Cueva could help Peru spring a shock. However, it's more likely the big names still in Low's squad will return to form.
