Germany vs. Brazil: Time, Live Stream and TV Schedule

James DudkoMar 26, 2018

Germany host Brazil in an international friendly at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Tuesday. It's set to be a demanding warm-up for the hosts ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

The world champions will be among the favourites for the trophy again this summer, as will the Selecao.

Both squads boast an enviable amount of match-winners in forward areas. However, Brazil still miss injured Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar, while Germany are content to let classy Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil miss out.

Die Mannschaft won 7-1 in Brazil when the sides last met, hammering the hosts of the 2014 FIFA World Cup at the semi-final stage in Belo Horizonte.

Here are the schedule and viewing details:

Date: Tuesday, March 27

Time: 7:45 p.m. BST, 2:45 p.m. ET

Ozil will be rested for the game, having been allowed to return to Arsenal following Friday's 1-1 draw with Spain, per Germany's official Twitter account (h/t The Sun's Sam Morgan).

The same source also revealed Liverpool's Emre Can will miss out due to back problems, while Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller, a scorer against Spain, won't be involved.

Those are three notable names for manager Joachim Low to be without. At least the 58-year-old can count on a plethora of other talent, including Manchester City duo Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane.

Gundogan can control possession in midfield, while Sane's pace makes him a major threat from the flanks. However, Die Mannschaft's biggest threat could be Timo Werner.

The gifted 22-year-old forward has scored 18 goals across all competitions for RB Leipzig this season. Werner's strength and movement can trouble a Brazil defence still reliant on 33-year-old Thiago Silva's experience.

Werner will be a danger.

At least this Brazil side is typically well-stocked in the final third. Juventus winger Douglas Costa, Chelsea forward Willian and Liverpool's Roberto Firmino will ensure the visitors carry a threat even without Neymar, who continues to recover from a broken metatarsal.

This friendly offers a chance to experiment for both Low and Brazil coach Tite.

The former may look to address the balance of midfield after seeing Sami Khedira and Toni Kroos "put under an enormous amount of pressure in front of the back four" against Spain, according to ESPN FC's Raphael Honigstein.

Meanwhile, the Selecao may keep Costa wide on the left as they did to great effect during the second half of Friday's 3-0 win over Russia in Moscow, per Tim Vickery of ESPN.

Costa's ability to provide width will be key for Neymar-less Brazil.

There are more than a few options for both coaches as they tinker with loaded squads sure to be among those in the final reckoning this summer.
