Germany host the next World Cup and Brazil's three-time World Cup winner believes the two nations will be in the World Cup final again on July 9 2006.

"Brazil and Germany will face one another in the final," said Pele who was in Brazil's winning teams in 1958, 1962 and 1970.

"Germany always seem to have a good team for the World Cup and with home support they will reach the final again."

Germany and Brazil are currently taking part in the Confederations Cup, running from June 15 to June 29, in a dress rehearsal for the main event a year later.
