Port Elizabeth - Germany manager Joachim Loew named an unchanged side to the one that had crushed Australia for Friday's Group D tie with Serbia.
Serbia coach Radomir Antic in contrast made two switches, one forced on him with Neven Subotic stepping in for Aleksandar Lukovic, sent off in the 1-0 opening loss to Ghana, and Dynamo Kiev midfielder Milos Ninkovic in for striker Marko Pantelic.
Germany top Group D after their impressive 4-0 defeat of the Socceroos, and can all but book a last 16 berth with victory over the Balkan state at a sun-drenched Nelson Mandela Bay stadium.
The Serbs, who arrived in South Africa billed as live outsiders to make a serious impact, are desperate to improve on their below par display to Ghana.
Defeat will spell an early trip home if Ghana grab at least a point from minnows Australia on Saturday.
Teams
Germany: Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm (capt), Per Mertesacker, Arne Friedrich, Holger Badstuber, Sami Khedira, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thomas Mueller, Mesut Ozil, Lukas Podolski, Miroslav Klose
Serbia: Vladimir Stojkovic, Branislav Ivanovic, Neven Subotic, Nemanja Vidic, Aleksandar Kolarov, Zdravko Kuzmanovic, Dejan Stankovic (capt), Milos Krasic, Milan Jovanovic, Milos Ninkovic, Nikola Zigic
