Gala friendly match for the Blues who travel to Dortmund to challenge Germany (kick-off 9 p.m., match to follow live on FM). France is in great shape in 2023 with five victories without conceding a single goal and wants to extend this series across the Rhine. The Mannschaft is in crisis one year before its Euro. She remains in five unsuccessful matches including three defeats in a row. The last one, Saturday, against Japan (1-4) was fatal for coach Hansi Flick, who is replaced this evening by Rudi Voller.
For this meeting, Didier Deschamps made several changes in his starting lineup after the success against Ireland (2-0) on Thursday, and also evolved on the system with a switch to 4-4-2. Pavard, Saliba and Todibo enter defense in place of Koundé and Lucas Hernandez and Upamecano. In the middle, Camavinga makes his return. Rabiot will play on the left and Coman on the right. In front, Kolo Muani is lined up with Griezmann at his side. Mbappé starts on the bench. On the German side, Rudi Voller opts for a 4-2-3-1. Muller will start in front of Gnabry, Sané and Wirt in support. Can and Gundogan start in midfield while Ter Stegan will keep goal with Sule, Tah, Rudiger and Henrichs in front of him.
The official compositions:
Germany : Ter Stegen – Süle, Tah, Rüdiger, Henrichs – Can, Gündogan – Sané, Wirtz, Gnabry – Müller
France : Maignan – Pavard, Todibo, Saliba, Theo Hernandez – Coman, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, Rabiot – Kolo Muani, Griezmann
