"In what is a monumental qualifying showdown at the top of the Group A standings, Germany will welcome Slovakia to the Red Bull Arena with only their goal difference separating both camps. While the European giants might have opened their World Cup qualifying adventure in the midst of a public nightmare, Germany have turned a recent corner and a single point will be enough to fully punch their ticket to North America."
"Last seen over the weekend securing a routine 2-0 victory away at Luxembourg, Naglesmann's men have recorded three consecutive qualifying clean sheets and they have also not conceded a single Group A strike in over 300 minutes of action. While Slovakia might travel to the Red Bull Arena on Monday night pencilled in as a landslide underdog, Francesco Calzona's high-flying squad are more than capable of causing some real headache on foreign soil. Including a gritty 1-0 victory against Northern Ireland on Friday night, it should be highlighted that the Falcons have come away unscathed in four of their five qualifying showdowns this year."
Germany can secure World Cup qualification with a draw at home against Slovakia, as only goal difference separates the two sides. Germany showed early problems but have improved defensively, keeping three consecutive qualifying clean sheets and going over 300 minutes without conceding after a 2-0 win in Luxembourg. Slovakia beat Germany 2-0 in September and remain a dangerous underdog, having gone unscathed in four of five qualifiers this year, including a 1-0 win over Northern Ireland. Betting guidance suggests backing no for both teams to score at the quoted odds.
