Team news

Germany Borussia Monchengladbach’s Matthias Ginter pulled out on Sunday. Antonio Rudiger, Toni Kroos, Leroy Sane, Julian Draxler and Leon Goretzka are sidelined.

Argentina Lionel Messi is banned while Sergio Aguero and Angel Di Maria have not been summoned.

Preview

You've got to fear for an Argentina defence featuring the likes of Marcos Rojo, Juan Foyth and Nicolas Otamendi, especially against the attack Joachim Low is poised to pick for the friendly with Germany in Dortmund.

Marco Reus, Die Mann­schaft's captain, is expected to be flanked by the in-form Serge Gnabry and Timo Werner, and they can fire the goals to ensure a home win.

The Germans have scored 17 goals in five Euro 2020 qualifiers and this international is essentially a prep game for Sunday's qualifier in Estonia.

But this is a fixture – friendly or otherwise – which tends to bring out the best in both teams and certainly the Germans look better equipped to dot up.

The Albiceleste go into battle with Lionel Messi still sidelined while Angel di Maria and Sergio Aguero haven't been selected.

No Boca Juniors or River Plate players have been summoned because of club commitments and Lionel Scaloni will be looking to Inter's Lautaro Martinez to continue his good form.

Key stat

Germany have scored 17 goals in their last five internationals.
