    European Championship

Germany and Northern Ireland share a long competitive history. Since 1999, the two nations have met seven times, with Germany victorious on every occasion. Their most recent meetings came in the Euro 2020 qualifiers, where Germany won 2-0 in Belfast and 6-1 in Frankfurt.

Germany

Germany team overview

Germany’s setback in Bratislava was their first World Cup qualifying defeat since the 2-1 home loss to North Macedonia in 2021. Despite dominating possession (70%) and posting an expected-goals figure of 1.34, they lacked a cutting edge in the final third.

Nagelsmann is expected to shuffle his lineup. David Raum could replace Nnamdi Collins at right-back, while Nadiem Amiri may come in for Angelo Stiller to add creativity in midfield.

Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland team overview

Northern Ireland made the ideal start with a 3-1 win away to Luxembourg, topping Group A on goal difference. The contest was even until Luxembourg’s Seid Korac received a second yellow card, tilting the balance toward Michael O’Neill’s side. It was Northern Ireland’s first away victory in World Cup qualifying since their 2-1 success in Lithuania in 2021, and only their third in seven away qualifiers since 2017.

Striker Jamie Reid, who scored against Luxembourg, was substituted in the 69th minute as a precaution but is expected to feature on Sunday. O’Neill is likely to name an unchanged lineup.

Prediction

Germany’s unexpected defeat and Northern Ireland’s confident win add intrigue, but the head-to-head record remains one-sided. Northern Ireland have lost all seven meetings with Germany since 1999, failing to score in five of those. They have also failed to score in four of their last seven away World Cup qualifiers. Backed by home support and superior quality, Germany are tipped to claim a comfortable victory with a clean sheet.

Three reasons we expect BTTS - NO

  1. Northern Ireland are winless in their last seven meetings with Germany.
  2. They have failed to score in five of those seven head-to-head encounters.
  3. Northern Ireland have also failed to score in four of their last seven World Cup qualifying away matches.
