Germany will be looking to exact revenge on Japan when the two nations meet in a friendly at Wolfsburg's Volkswagen Arena on Saturday evening.
En route to a second successive group-stage exit, Die Mannschaft suffered a 2-1 defeat against the Samurai Blue at the World Cup in Qatar.
We say: Germany 2-1 Japan
Although Germany have endured a disappointing 12 months - winning just two of their previous eight games across all competitions - Die Mannschaft are bound to bounce back before too long.
With that in mind, we expect Flick's men to return to winning ways with a narrow victory over Japan, although the Samurai Blue will likely push the hosts all the way.

USA vs. Uzbekistan (Saturday, 10.30pm)

USA will play for the first time since their CONCACAF Gold Cup exit in July on Saturday, when they meet Uzbekistan in an international friendly in Missouri.
The Stars and Stripes will play four friendlies before entering the CONCACAF Nations League late this year, while their visitors begin World Cup qualifying in mid-November.
We say: USA 3-1 Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan do have quality throughout the pitch and should not be taken lightly, but USA will expect to pick up a relatively comfortable victory on home soil and we see them having too much for the White Wolves.
