"After a sluggish first half against Luxembourg on Friday, Germany turned it up a couple notches and got a key win behind Nick Woltemade's first international brace. Germany and Slovakia are tied atop UEFA's Group A in FIFA World Cup Qualifying but Germany holds the crucial tiebreaker on goal differential. This means that a win or draw will punch Germany's ticket to the FIFA World Cup next summer."
"Prediction: Germany draws 1-1. Florian Wirtz will draw a penalty kick in the first half and Leroy Sané will earn the honor of sending Germany to the World Cup. Germany will sit back with possession for the rest of the match. Slovakia will add some late drama with a set piece goal in the 85th minute but it will be too little too late."
Germany recovered after a sluggish first half against Luxembourg to secure a crucial win powered by Nick Woltemade's first international brace. Germany and Slovakia sit level atop UEFA Group A in World Cup qualifying, with Germany holding the tiebreaker on goal differential. A win or draw will secure Germany's automatic berth for next summer's World Cup; a loss would hand the automatic spot to Slovakia and force Germany into two knockout playoff rounds. Slovakia recorded a surprise 2-0 victory over Germany in September and has kept clean sheets in all four of its qualifying wins. Betting odds favor Germany heavily.
