Match Preview
It has hardly been the ideal preparation to host EURO 2024 for Germany, as they have already moved on to their second manager after dismissing Hansi Flick. Confidence surrounding the national side is at an all-time low, but performances have at least improved following Julian Nagelsmann’s appointment last month.
Germany come into this friendly after going three without a defeat, which has been the perfect response after suffering a heavy 4-1 loss against Japan in September. In the last international break, the European nation picked up a straightforward 3-1 win over the United States, before playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw against Mexico.

Turkey appear on track to join Germany at the EUROs next summer, as they sit top of their Group D table. The European nation have won five of their seven internationals in qualifying, and they come into this friendly in excellent recent form after winning four of their last five, and each of their previous two.
Turkey’s excellent form was maintained in the previous international break, as they landed a 1-0 success over Croatia, before securing an easy 4-0 home win against Latvia. They could be among the dark horse selections at the EUROs next summer, as they bid to avenge a very poor showing at EURO 2020.
Germany vs Turkey Prediction
It should be an interesting clash between these nations, as Germany look to show how far they have come under Nagelsmann. However, Turkey’s form appears challenging to overlook, which means that the draw could be an interesting selection.
