The Socceroos get their Confederations Cup campaign off to a tough start when they take on tournament favourites Germany at the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi. The match is scheduled to kick-off at 1am (AEST) on Tuesday, June 20.

Australia enters the Confederations Cup after a tough 4-0 loss to Brazil in a friendly at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Despite that, they beat Saudi Arabia in a pivotal World Cup qualifier just days earlier, keeping their qualification hopes well and truly alive.

Germany are one of the best teams in world football, currently ranked at no.3. They haven’t lost a game since they were bundled out of Euro 2016 at the semi-final stage and are coming off a 7-0 win over San Marino in a qualifier last week.
