Germany vs Slovakia: Match Preview

Germany have a safety net. Julian Nagelsmann’s team will qualify in the event of a draw thanks to their superior goal difference, leaving Slovakia to slug it out in the play-offs.

Third-placed Northern Ireland will be in the play-offs too but their interest in the group is now over. They can’t catch or be caught, so this evening’s head-to-head in Leipzig is all that matters at the conclusion of Group A.

Slovakia’s qualification remains in their own hands with one game remaining because they won 2-0 in the reverse fixture in Bratislava in September thanks to goals from David Hancko and David Strelec.

Germany’s qualification is within their gift because Northern Ireland beat Slovakia in October, teeing up a thrilling finale in the current international match window.

Both teams won their penultimate qualifiers on Friday. Slovakia left it excruciatingly late to grab the only goal against Northern Ireland, while Germany eased to victory thanks to two second-half Nick Woltemade goals in Luxembourg.

Die Mannschaft would fancy their chances in a play-off but it’s a path Slovakia would sooner avoid. South Africa 2010 was their only World Cup finals appearance as an independent nation and a fourth consecutive failure to qualify would be an unwelcome setback.

But overcoming Germany is easier said than done. The four-time World Cup winners do not fail in qualifying. They’ve never missed out on World Cup qualification and haven’t miss any major tournament since West Germany didn’t qualify for the European Championship in 1968.

Francesco Calzona and Slovakia could nudge them one step closer to surrendering that record but there’s no doubt Germany hold the slight advantage at Red Bull Arena.
