GERMANY manager Joachim Low has guaranteed the World Cup winners will pick up six out of six points from their double-header against Scotland and Poland.
The Scots face Germany in a week's time, after their trip to Tbilisi to face Georgia on Friday. The world champions face Poland in Frankfurt before they travel to Hampden.
Super-confident Low has predicted two wins out of two which will put them top of Group D.
He said: "We are one point behind Poland and when we win that game, we go clear at the top. And we will win again when we play Scotland.
"In both games we won't overload the attack. That would be the wrong way to play these countries.
"We want to have plenty of the ball and work very hard, but we cannot just charge recklessly forward.
"The aim of the teams in our group is to be physically strong, be tactically well-organised in defence and their aim is to spoil our game. We have to find a way to break them down.
"Last year we did not play in the style of world champions. To be honest, I actually expected a drop in performances – it was to be expected after such a big high.
"We know now what is at stake in our two matches with Poland and Scotland. We will win."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
