"Germany are one of the biggest footballing nations in the world and have one of the strongest teams. Julian Nagelsmann's side are at the top of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification - UEFA Group A. Germany have picked up 12 points from five matches and are level on points with second-placed Slovakia. Germany need just a draw to go through because of their superior goal difference."
"Germany will head into the 2026 World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on the back of a 2-0 victory over Luxembourg away from home. Germany beat Northern Ireland 1-0 and hammered Luxembourg 4-0 in the FIFA World Cup Qualifying games in October. Germany are likely to line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Slovakia. Oliver Baumann will be in goal and will have Ridle Baku, Waldemar Anton, Jonathan Tah and David Raum in front of him in defence."
