Julian Nagelsmann’s side are widely expected to top Group E, where they will also come up against Ecuador and Ivory Coast.
Remarkably, Germany have crashed out at the group stage in each of the last two World Cups, so another early exit would be unthinkable for the four-time winners.
Anything other than a winning start against Curacao would also be a major shock.
An unbeaten run through CONCACAF qualifying saw Curacao reach the World Cup for the first time in their history.
However, navigating their way out of this section will be a huge ask, especially with Dick Advocaat’s side facing a daunting opener against Germany.
