Germany vs Kazakhstan Live Stream: Watch Free Online World Cup Qualifier From Nuremberg

Mar 26, 2013 03:00 PM EDT

Germany will look to move further ahead in their group when they host Kazakhstan in a reverse fixture of the World Cup Qualifiers Tuesday.

Germany currently lead Group C by five points from Sweden, who are a point ahead of Austria and Republic of Ireland.

The Germans beat the Kazakhs 3-0 Friday, thanks to goals from Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mario Gotze and Thomas Muller, and Joachim Low's men will expect another three points, although their coach has warned his team against any sort of complacency.

"If you score a victory away then there is the danger that you keep this in your head for some time," Low told reporters. "We have to keep reminding the players that we are playing at home and we will only win if we have the right attitude."

Low might again employ the "false nine" role against Kazakhstan, after using it to great effect on Friday, with Gotze playing in the hole.

German veteran Lukas Podolski only came off the bench in that game, after Julian Draxler got injured early on, and the Arsenal striker hopes to play from the beginning on Tuesday.

"I've been training hard the last three weeks but missed the last game with Arsenal," the 27-year-old said. "Therefore I was quite clear that I would only sit on the bench. I talked before the game with the national team coach. That was all okay.

"Of course I want to play forever. But I have witnessed so much with the national team. Some unique moments. I now have 108 caps.

"And even if I'm now on bench, then it is no big deal for me because it is also clear the World Cup in Brazil will not start on Tuesday in Nuremberg against Kazakhstan. And my goal is to be at the World Cup. But first we have to qualify and win on Tuesday."

Germany do have a few worries, though, with Bastian Schweinsteiger suspended and Draxler injured. Sven Bender or Ilkay Gundogan will replace the Bayern Munich midfielder, while Podolski or Marco Reus will take the place of Draxler.
