Germany vs Slovakia PREDICTION
Group A on the line
Both teams already secured the top two places, but the final round decides who wins Group A.
Germany only need a draw. Slovakia must win.
Germany in control
Germany arrive in a good mood after a 2–0 win over Luxembourg.
They are on a four-match winning run in qualifying and return home with confidence.
But playing at home has been tricky in 2025. Germany won only two of their five home games this year.
All three home matches without a win came against top-10 FIFA teams.
The last non-top-10 team to beat Germany away was Turkey in 2023.
Slovakia must take a risk
Slovakia need all three points. Nothing else works.
They beat Germany at home in September, but repeating that in Germany is much harder.
Their 1–0 win over Northern Ireland on Friday was a relief, but the performance was not special.
Slovakia also struggle away from home: just one win from their last six away qualifiers, losing five.
Head-to-head
Germany lead the matchup (8 wins, 4 losses).
But the last six meetings are even: three wins each.
Slovakia also won the first duel in this group — Germany’s only ever World Cup qualifying defeat.
Key stats
- Six of Germany’s last seven goals came before the 60th minute.
- Both teams scored in only one of Germany’s last six games.
- In Slovakia’s last 10 matches, both teams scored only once.
- Slovakia have not scored before the 30th minute in their last 10 games.
Players to watch
Nick Woltemade (Germany) – scored the last three German qualifying goals. Two after half-time.
Tomáš Bobček (Slovakia) – scored the winner vs Northern Ireland. Three of his last five goals came in added time.
Team news
Germany wait on Joshua Kimmich’s fitness.
Slovakia are almost fully available.
Prediction: Germany 2–0 Slovakia
Germany are stronger at home, in better form, and only need a draw. Slovakia’s poor away record makes an upset unlikely.
