After their shock 1-0 defeat to Mexico, Germany coach Joachim Low has made four changes to his starting line-up to face Sweden.
The defending World Cup champions have to grab a result in their second Group G feature to stand any chance of progressing to the Round of 16.
After a lacklustre performance in their opener, Low has rung the changes: some due to injury and some tactical.
Antonio Rudiger has been brought in to partner Jerome Boateng at the back after Mats Hummels sustained a neck injury two days ago.
Upfield, Jonas Hector has replaced Marvin Plattenhardt at left-back, Sebastian Rudy has taken Sami Khedira's place in midfield and Mesut Ozil has dropped to the bench for Marco Reus.
Here is Germany's full XI: Neuer (c); Hector, Boateng, Rudiger, Kimmich; Rudy, Kroos, Muller; Draxler, Wener, Reus.
