In any case, Germany would be a difficult one to figure out for the Indians. Having lost 1-3 against Australia in the elimination rounds here, the Germans still up in the air to make a statement.

Germany are the best hockey country in the Olympics after India with four gold awards. Striker Lukas Wendfeder is in extraordinary structure, having scored six objectives in the competition up until now.
