The two favourites for this summer’s World Cup will be looking to lay down a marker on Tuesday as Germany welcome Brazil to Berlin for a high profile friendly clash.
Joachim Low’s men were held to a 1-1 draw by Spain on Friday, extending their unbeaten streak to 22 consecutive matches.
Latest Odds
Having memorably run out 7-1 winners when the side last met in the 2014 World Cup, they are available at 11/8 (2.38) with bet365 to maintain their fine form with another victory here.
However, the Selecao have only lost once in 19 fixtures themselves and can be backed at 19/10 (2.90) to exact some revenge by coming out on top in this one.
The hosts have now drawn each of their last three successive games, and there are odds of 23/10 (3.30) on offer on them playing out stalemate yet again.
Team News
Emre Can, Thomas Muller and Mesut Ozil have all withdrawn from Die Mannschaft due to minor injury concerns, meaning Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane could start at the Olympiastadion.
The visitors are likely to field a similar line-up to the one that brushed Russia aside, although Douglas Costa could drop out for either Fernandinho or Renato Augusto.
Tight encounter
While nobody in Brazil will have forgotten the humiliating thrashing their team endured the last time these sides met, they will not be contemplating anything like a repeat performance here.
Having conceded only five goals in 18 fixtures since Tite took over in June 2016, the South Americans will prove a far more difficult nut to crack for a home team that has scored just three times in their previous three.
Preview and predictions
Nevertheless, two goalless draws in Brazil's last five games suggest they could well be in for another tight game at both ends.
As such, odds of 19/20 (1.95) look like solid value on under 2.5 goals being scored for Germany’s eighth friendly in nine.
