Germany Vs India Live Score, FIH Pro League hockey: In their penultimate match of the FIH Pro League 2023-’24 season, Indian men’s hockey team will take on world champions Germany in London on Saturday.
In their previous meeting a week back, India prevailed 3-0 with a clinical performance at both ends of the pitch against an albeit understrength Germany side. It was one of the better performances by India under Craig Fulton as they scored three well-constructed goals and stood firm in defence against a barrage of German attacks, thanks to PR Sreejesh.
After that win though, the Indians slipped to a 3-0 defeat against Great Britain, signifying the need for consistency in back-to-back matches as they fine-tune their preparations for Paris Olympics. Read more about that here.

Paris Olympics: How a crisis meeting helped India’s hockey forwards find scoring touch
Bruised after a 5-0 series hammering in Australia, India’s forwards got into a huddle soon after they returned home.
Their impotence was one of the biggest concerns to emerge from a forgettable tour. They couldn’t score, couldn’t put pressure on Australia’s defence and couldn’t win enough penalty corners to allow captain Harmanpreet Singh to showcase his might. The forwards knew they had a little more than two months to fix this problem.
“So, after the tour, we had a meeting,” India forward Sukhjeet Singh said. Frank words were spoken and ideas were exchanged. When they left the room an hour or so later, an understanding was reached. “If you enter the ‘D’, then you have to have an outcome,” Sukhjeet recalled. (READ MORE)
