"Germany dropped a performance to forget last time out, getting shut out 2-0 by Slovakia in World Cup Qualifying. Julian Nagelsmann demanded change and will look to get a win against Northern Ireland who won 3-1 away to Luxembourg in the concurrent match. With the top team in this group qualifying directly to the tournament proper, Germany will look to recover from this early setback to avoid the play-offs early next year."
"With the available players from the last match, here's how Germany could line up: Nagelsmann tried a back four last time and it didn't work, so maybe his preferred back three system will bear fruit. Oliver Baumann starts in goal, with a backline of Jonathan Tah, Antonio Rüdiger, and Robin Koch. The midfield will consist of Joshua Kimmich and Pascal Groß in the pivot, with Maximilian Mittelstädt and Jamie Leweling as the left and right midfielders respectively."
Germany suffered a 2-0 defeat to Slovakia in World Cup qualifying and faces pressure to secure automatic qualification from the group. Julian Nagelsmann demanded changes and aims for a response against Northern Ireland, who won 3-1 away to Luxembourg. Nagelsmann may abandon the recent back four and return to a back three to stabilize the defense. A projected lineup places Oliver Baumann in goal, with Jonathan Tah, Antonio Rüdiger and Robin Koch across the back. Joshua Kimmich and Pascal Groß would hold the midfield pivot, with Maximilian Mittelstädт and Jamie Leweling on the flanks and Florian Wirtz and Paul Nebel supporting Nick Woltemade.
