ARG vs GER Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

The historic rivalry renews as Germany take on Argentina in an International Friendly game at Westfalenstadion, the home of Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.

Believe it or not, but this will be the first meeting between these two giants after 2014, though, that was match was also the friendly game, coming within two months after Germany pipped Argentina in the final of the FIFA World 2014 at the iconic Maracana.

A lot has changed since that final. Argentina have lost a couple of Copa America finals, and now struggling to remain even competitive these days, while Die Mannschaft are far below the lofty standards they set a few years ago.

It’s clear that both these two giants are going through a transition period. But the roster is full of talented young players, loaded with experience as well.
