Germany will host Turkey at the Olympiastadion in Berlin as both sides play their first international friendly of the calendar year.
Since Hansi Flick's firing, Julian Nagelsmann has had to transform a fairly depleted German outfit having won one and drawn one international friendly as Germany's manager. With the European heavyweights scheduled to host the Euros next year, Nagelsmann will treat these friendlies as the perfect dress rehearsal for the showpiece event.
For Turkey, the encounter in Germany could serve as the perfect opportunity to get a taste of what's coming next year in the biggest European competition in the world. Having secured qualification in next year's Euros touted to play in Germany Vincent Montella's outfit will look to challenge the hosts and put the best foot forward in their preparations for Euro 2024.
