Hello and welcome to live coverage of the international friendly meeting between Germany and Israel at the PreZero Stadium!
Both sides will start their latest Nations League campaigns in June, but have a couple of friendlies this month in preparation, with Germany also looking ahead to the World Cup later this year. Since their round of 16 exit from Euro 2020, Germany have won all seven of their World Cup qualifiers, finishing top of their group and keeping five clean sheets in that run. As for Israel, they've won five of their last 10 games. They come into this match on the back of a win though, as they saw off Faroe Islands 3-2 in their last match in November.
GERMANY STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Thilo Kehrer, Jonathan Tah, Nico Schlotterbeck, David Raum; Ilkay Gundogan, Julian Weigl; Julian Draxler, Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz; Timo Werner.
GERMANY SUBS: Benjamin Henrichs, Thomas Muller, Matthias Ginter, Anton Stach, Florian Neuhaus, Kevin Trapp, Christian Gunter, Leroy Sane, Lukas Nmecha, Julian Brandt, Antonio Rudiger, Manuel Neuer.
ISRAEL STARTING XI (4-4-2): Ofir Marciano; Eli Dasa, Nir Bitton, Sun Menachem, Sean Goldberg; Manor Solomon, Mohammad Abu Fani, Dor Peretz, Aviv Avraham; Munas Dabbur, Thai Baribo.
ISRAEL SUBS: Gavriel Gilad Kanichowsky, Dan Glazer, Yonatan Cohen, Eyad Abu Abaid, Ramzi Safuri, Itamar Nitzan, Omri Glazer, Dolev Hazizia, Ofir Davidzada, Matan Baltaksa, Maor Kandil, Dean David.
The teams are out on the pitch, the national anthems have been sung, and kick-off is just moments away!
Flick will be pleased with his side's performance. They've been in control since the start and look likely to score a lot more if they pick up where they left off. Despite not creating a single chance, Israel haven't played badly. If they can stay alert during set pieces, they could frustrate Germany after the break.
That's all for today, goodbye!
Germany have now won each of their last eight matches in all competitions, and they travel to Netherlands on Tuesday for their final friendly before the Nations League. Israel also have another friendly coming up, as they host Romania.
