Malaysia is clearly the underdog vs the 11th seeded host country team. Heck even saying we are the underdogs is an understatement
On the other hand, the good thing is there is zero pressure on our boys. Hairulov mentions that if we can “steal” half or one point from the encounter it would be good. I agree with him
The mighty Germany1 team comprise:-
| Bo. | Name | Rtg | FED | 1 | 2 | 3 | Pts. | Games | RtgAvg | Rp | |

| 3 | GM | Gustafsson Jan | 2634 | GER | 1 | ½ | 1,5 | 2 | 2498 | 0 | |
| 4 | GM | Fridman Daniel | 2630 | GER | 1 | 1,0 | 1 | 2501 | 0 | ||
