An intriguing World Cup warm up fixture takes place in Chicago this weekend as hosts USA take on Germany.
Both nations now face their final preparation fixture at Soldier Field after positive results earlier this week. The Americans overcame Senegal while Germany eased past Finland.
Germany have had the edge in recent encounters, but a competitive and likely entertaining contest should be on the cards this weekend.

Friendly International
USA and Germany have met on six previous occasions. Germany won four matches while the USA picked up two wins.
USA team overview
USA make their way to Soldier Field in high spirits after a fine 3:2 friendly victory against Senegal earlier this week. Folarin Balogun stepped off the bench to secure a confidence-building victory for the Americans.
Before their hard-fought win at Bank of America Stadium, the US had suffered back-to-back friendly defeats against Belgium (5:2) and Portugal (2:0) in the March international break.
Usually involved in entertaining encounters, six of the Americans last seven games finished with both teams on the scoresheet, while a minimum of three goals were scored in all but one of their last six fixtures.
Head coach Pochettino is likely to make some changes to his starting XI this weekend. Folarin Balogun is among those tipped to earn a recall to the side.

Germany team overview
Germany arrive in the USA after a dominant 4:0 win against Finland earlier this week. Deniz Undav impressed with VFB Stuttgart striker scoring twice in an easy win at MEWA Arena.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side have picked up some strong results in recent fixtures, securing eight successive victories since a 2:0 defeat against Slovakia last September.
While usually reliable in defence, three goals conceded in a remarkable 4:3 win against Switzerland this year exposed some potential fragilities in the German defence. Four of their last six friendlies finished with both teams on the scoresheet and that outcome could be repeated against this weekend
Head coach Nagelsmann has a strong squad available this weekend. Deniz Undav will hope to lead the line after his brace in Tuesday’s win against Finland.

Prediction
Goals seem likely in Saturday’s international friendly fixture. I have my stake on BTTS, while I also expect a minimum of three goals scored.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- USA have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 matches
- Germany have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 6 friendly matches
- Germany have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 matches against USA
Main prediction United States - Germany
Both Teams to Score
