The international break features a set of friendlies this weekend as Peru lock horns with Hansi Flick's Germany side in an intriguing encounter at the MEWA Arena on Saturday.
Germany vs Peru Preview
Peru have been fairly impressive in recent years and have given their fellow CONMEBOL members a run for their money. The Peruvian outfit missed out on a place in the World Cup last year and will need to step up to the plate to prove their mettle in this fixture.
Germany, on the other hand, are one of Europe's footballing powerhouses but have not met expectations since their World Cup victory in 2014. Die Mannschaft defeated Costa Rica 4-2 in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Germany vs Peru Prediction
Germany have an excellent squad at their disposal but are yet to hit their stride under Hansi Flick. Jamal Musiala was one of the team's best players at the World Cup and will look to make his mark in this match.
Peru can present a robust front on their day but will be up against a difficult test this weekend. Germany have flattered to deceive over the past year and could be held to a draw in this fixture.
Prediction: Germany 1-1 Peru
