Germany face Ukraine on Monday night almost a year to the day that the sides last locked horns. On that day, the pair played out a 3-3 draw and we're predicting another close and competitive 90 minutes at the Max-Morlock-Stadion.
Both teams will be missing players that they have called up for Euro 2024 due to the Champions League final taking place on Saturday,
Monday's warm-up game between Germany and Ukraine should prove to be very competitive as both teams will want to get into some good form ahead of the start of Euro 2024 in a couple of weeks time.

Germany preview: Beat France and the Netherlands
As the host nation, Germany didn't have to qualify for Euro 2024 and have instead been playing friendly matches over the last year in preparation for this summer's big tournament. With wins against France and the Netherlands in their last two fixtures, Julian Nagelsmann's side look ready to make a challenge for the Euro 2024 trophy.

Player to watch – Kai Havertz
Kai Havertz scored twice at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and will be looking to add to his tally in major international tournaments this summer in his home nation.
The Arsenal forward also scored against Ukraine a year ago as the teams played out an epic 3-3 draw, and we're backing the 24-year-old to impress once again on Monday night. Havertz was called up to the Germany squad for the very first time in 2018 and made his debut against Peru, becoming the first German player born in 1999 to be capped by his country at senior level.
The Arsenal man scored when these two countries last went head-to-head
Germany will be without the likes of Antonio Rüdiger, Nico Schlotterbeck, Toni Kroos and Niclas Füllkrug on Monday night due to their Champions League commitments, so Havertz, who has 15 goals in 44 caps, is likely to lead the line against Ukraine.
