Germany vs Argentina
International friendly
Venue: Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund
Kick-off time: 7:45pm BST
In a rematch of the 2014 World Cup final, Germany welcome Argentina to Signal Iduna Park tonight as they aim to take the bragging rights once again.
Joachim Low’s side edged a close encounter with Mario Gotze’s extra-time winner proving to be decisive in Rio de Janeiro.
The Albiceleste have undergone a huge shake-up since then, with Lionel Messi retiring from international football and then making a U-turn.
Now under the guidance of former coach Lionel Scaloni, once on the books at West Ham United, the Latin American side are out for revenge five years later.
Predicted line-up
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan (muscle) and centre-back Jonathan Tah (ilness) have been ruled out for the friendly, leaving Germany boss Joachim Low with a long injury list.
Dortmund striker Marco Reus is also a doubt for the clash following a knee injury and may not be risked, Low revealed in his pre-match press conference.
“We will have to see. He will train this evening and then we will see if it makes sense to use him.
“It is not a situation I wished and would want. It is not an ideal situation. It is rare to have so many absences.”
Scaloni took the unusual step of announcing his Argentina lineup a day before the game, with Premier League quartet Juan Foyth, Nicolas Otamendi, Marcos Rojo and Roberto Pererya all set to start.
Germany XI: Ter Stegen; Stark, Sule, Koch; Klostermann, Kimmich, Rudy, Halstenberg; Gnabry, Brandt; Reus.
Argentina XI: Marchesin; Foyth, Otamendi, Rojo, Tagliafico; Pereyra, Paredes, De Paul, Angel Correa; Dybala, Martinez.
Prediction: Germany 1-1 Argentina
