"Last time Germany hooked up with Slovakia, the Germans were sent home losers by a score of 2-0. This time, Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann is expecting a different result as his team should be more prepared. Key storylines entering this match include the potential returns of Joshua Kimmich and Nico Schlotterbeck to Germany, which should stabilize the backline. If the attack can play like it did in the second half against Luxembourg, things really could be difficult for Slovakia."
"We think Germany will win 3-1 and be powered by a strong first half effort where Nick Woltemade and Florian Wirtz get on the scoreboard ( gasp!). Aleksandar Pavlović will put his stamp on the game with a second half goal to make a winner of Oliver Baumann - and clinch Germany's spot for the 2026 World Cup. How do you see this one playing out?"
Germany seek redemption after a 2-0 loss to Slovakia in their last meeting. Manager Julian Nagelsmann expects improved preparation and possible returns of Joshua Kimmich and Nico Schlotterbeck to stabilize the defense. An attack reproducing its second-half form against Luxembourg would trouble Slovakia. The prediction favors a 3-1 German victory with a strong first-half showing featuring goals from Nick Woltemade and Florian Wirtz. Aleksandar Pavlović is expected to add a second-half goal, making Oliver Baumann the match winner and securing Germany’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
