Julian Nagelsmann will look to continue his good run as the new manager

After a poor run of results under Hansi Flick, Germany have found a new life and have gradually started heading in the right direction under newly appointed Nagelsmann. The team has shown plenty of positives in his opening matches. After a 1-3 away win against the USA and a 2-2 draw against Mexico in their last match, he will be pleased with how his team performed. Nagelsmann is slowly finding his strong eleven and will know that fixing the team remains a huge task.

Since replacing Stefan Kuntz after a poor run of results that resulted in a loss to Japan and a 1-1 draw with Armenia, Vincenzo Montella has done an excellent job. In recent weeks, the team has defeated Croatia and Latvia and qualified for the Euros. Under Montella, they looked like an impressive side, as evidenced by their victory over Croatia on the road. As his side prepares for the Euros, it will be interesting to see how they perform against Germany.

Kick-Off:

Sun, 19 Nov 1:15 AM (IST)

Location: Olympiastadion Berlin

Form:

Germany (in all competitions): D-W-W-L-L

Turkey (in all competitions): W-W-L-D-W

Player to Watch

Niclas Fullkrug (Germany)

Since his debut for the German national team, Niclas Fullkrug has been in impressive form for them. He has scored nine goals in eleven games for them. He has been prolific in front of goal for them and even scored two goals in the two last games he played for Nagelsmann.

Hakan Calhanoglu (Turkey)

Hakan Calhanoglu Germany vs Turkey — Hakan Calhanoglu has scored 17 goals for the national team

Vincenzo Montella will have high expectations from Hakan Calhanoglu as he has been in terrific form for Inter Milan this season. He has five goals and one assist so far to his name from 12 matches. His transition from an attacking midfielder to a holding midfielder has surprised many. There are only very few in the business who can deliver a goal contribution at any moment in time and also provide a base for the team.

Match Facts

Germany hasn’t kept a clean sheet in the last 8 matches
Turkey are undefeated in the last two matches
Germany are unbeaten in the last three matches against Turkey

Injury and Team News

In this match, Germany will be without several key players. Emre Can and Jamal Musiala will be missing due to injuries to the thighs and hamstrings. Gunter and F. Nmecha will also not be able to participate due to injuries. Due to some personal issues, Thiaw has also left the squad, while the trustworthy captain Manuel Neuer will remain absent.

Except for Arda Guler who is out due to a thigh injury, Vincenzo Montella has an entirely fit squad at his disposal. Söyüncü, who has recovered from a groin injury, faces an uphill battle to be ready for the match. Given that Montella has already qualified for the Euros, he will likely field his strong eleven against the Germans to test how far they have come.
