Euro 2024 hosts Germany will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Turkey in an international friendly in Berlin on Saturday night.
Germany have not played a competitive fixture since the 2022 World Cup, with all nine of their matches this year friendly encounters, but Turkey have been in a qualification process for next summer's European Championship, with their position in the finals secured ahead of their final game against Wales.
DFB-Elf actually only won one of their opening six friendlies of 2023, suffering four defeats in the process, but they have beaten France and the United States, in addition to drawing with Mexico, in their last three.
Julian Nagelsmann's side will take on Austria in their final match of the year next Tuesday, and the upcoming fixtures will again be incredibly important when it comes to building patterns of play, even if there is not anything significant on the line.
Germany, as mentioned, have not played a competitive match since beating Costa Rica 4-2 at the 2022 World Cup last December, with the result not enough to send them into the knockout round of the competition.
