Germany vs. Argentina Live Stream: Watch Online, TV Channel, Start Time
Argentina will be without the talents of Lionel Messi when they travel to Dortmund on Wednesday seeking successive wins over Germany for the first time in 17 years. Two football titans will do battle at the Westfalenstadion under a friendly setting, though both international heavyweights have reason to treat this match as so much more.

Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni takes his team to Europe unbeaten in three matches. La Albiceleste beat Chile, 2-1, to finish third at this year’s Copa America, then drew 0-0 against the same opponent, before they thrashed Mexico, 4-0, in September (both friendlies). Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez stepped up to fill the attacking void against Mexico, netting his first international hat-trick at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Tex. to almost decide the fixture on his own.
Germany manager Joachim Low will hope Messi’s absence is enough to tilt the odds in favor of his side, though it hasn’t been sufficient to hold Argentina back in recent times. Germany’s attention has been focused upon UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers of late, but a friendly encounter free of such sizable repercussions could be a welcome distraction for Low & Co.
Die Mannschaft defeated Northern Ireland 2-0 in their last outing following a defeat to the Netherlands–the only loss they’ve suffered across their last eight matches. Those Euro 2020 commitments and the fact Germany faces Estonia in a qualifier four days after this friendly suggests the host team’s selection could be somewhat restrained compared to its guests.
Scaloni has three uncapped players in his squad ready to taste their first senior international minutes, including Sevilla winger Lucas Ocampos and 21-year-old Stuttgart striker Nicolas Gonzalez.
