Germany take on the visitors Turkey in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Saturday, November 18th at Olympiastadion (Berlin).
Germany, frankly speaking, was genuinely successful almost a decade ago when they became the world champions in 2014. Then, there was a prolonged decline. Only after the last Euro did Löw leave, who clearly overstayed in his position. However, his successor, Flick, clearly failed when his team, just like in 2018, failed to advance from the group stage at the World Cup. "Hansi" kept his position back then, but in 2023, the results were so terrible, even in friendly matches, that the coach was fired. By the way, all his predecessors left the position voluntarily. Nagelsmann has been in charge since October, and after debuting with a 3-1 win against the USA, his team only managed a draw against Mexico a few days later.

Turkey is already preparing for the Euro. The "Janissaries" played for just over a year under the guidance of the German coach Kuntz. Stefan achieved decent results, although he ultimately failed to lead his team to the World Cup, losing in the playoffs. There were several painful setbacks in 2023. Despite remaining chances of success, after the September matches (drawing 1-1 with a key opponent, Armenia, and losing a friendly match 2-4 to Japan), Kuntz resigned. Montella took over, and this is his first experience in such a format. So far, everything is going well. The "Aeroplane" debuted in Croatia, and thanks to the only goal from Burak Yılmaz of Galatasaray, an unexpected and very important victory was secured. In the last round, when the Turks defeated Latvia 4-0, and the "Checkered Ones" lost in Wales, Montella's team is +6 in points ahead of both pursuers with 2 rounds to go—de facto, the question of qualification for the Euro is resolved.
Germany had 3 consecutive victories, but in 2020, the Turks responded three times to a conceded goal, ultimately securing a draw in a friendly match. Germans are considered the clear favorites in this pair. However, the guests will undoubtedly have serious support and courage. Let's go for a neutral option with "total over 3.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
