"According to a report from Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Julian Nagelsmann will not change anything with his lineup ahead of Germany's match with Northern Ireland: Julian Nagelsmann is planning tomorrow with the same lineup that started against Luxembourg on Friday. The last time Nagelsmann kept the same lineup for two games in a row was over a year ago in the group stage of Euro 2024."
"This would be a major change for Nagelsmann, who has built a strong reputation for his tinkering and constant changes of personnel and formations. Hopefully, this is a sign of some stability with a team that could use it. Germany was in need of a good performance and Luxembourg was the right squad for the moment. The team spirit appeared to be much higher than the last international where the German were flat and the renewed energy helped power the team to a 4-0 victory."
Julian Nagelsmann plans to field the same starting lineup against Northern Ireland that started the victory over Luxembourg. The last time the same lineup started two consecutive games was over a year ago during Euro 2024 group stage. Nagelsmann has frequently changed personnel and formations, so the selection represents unusual continuity. Germany produced a 4-0 win against Luxembourg with visibly higher team spirit than the previous international. An early red card for the opponent heavily influenced the match, though Germany likely would have prevailed even without the numerical advantage. The selection stability may provide the squad with needed consistency.
