- Competition: World Cup Qualifiers
- Date: 14th November 2025
- Kick-off: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Luxembourg Stadium
Germany travel to Luxembourg on Friday night knowing that only a win will keep them in control of Group A. The visitors sit top of the table but share the same points as Slovakia, so there’s no room for error in their final two qualifiers. Luxembourg, on the other hand, are bottom of the group and still without a single point. It’s a David-versus-Goliath contest but Germany will want to make a statement before their crucial showdown with Slovakia.

These two sides have met twice since 2006, and Germany didn’t show any mercy on either occasion. Die Mannschaft ran riot with a combined scoreline of 11-0 across both matches, proving just how wide the gap between the two nations remains.
Luxembourg team overview
Luxembourg are still chasing their first-ever appearance at a World Cup, but that dream looks far off once again. The Red Lions finished fourth in their last qualifying campaign with three wins from eight, yet have failed to build on that progress.
Four games into this campaign, Jeff Strasser’s men remain empty-handed after losing all four by a 10-1 margin. They haven’t found the net in their last three matches, and confidence looks fragile.
Augsburg winger Aiman Dardari, who scored the team’s only goal so far, will be the main attacking threat alongside Sinani and Bohnert. The trio will have to produce something special to trouble Germany’s backline.

Germany team overview
Germany have a long and proud World Cup history, qualifying for the tournament 20 times - second only to Brazil. But recent years haven’t been kind to Die Mannschaft, with early exits in the last two World Cups and quarterfinal heartbreak at the last Euro.
Julian Nagelsmann’s men started this campaign slowly with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Slovakia, but have since bounced back with three wins on the trot. Another victory here would put them firmly on track for automatic qualification before facing Slovakia again in the finale.
Jamal Musiala remains sidelined with an injury, but Leroy Sané returns to the squad after his summer move to Galatasaray and could bring the spark Germany need in attack.

Prediction
Germany should have too much firepower for Luxembourg in this one. Die Mannschaft look sharp again after a rocky start to qualifying and have scored eight goals in their last three matches. Luxembourg’s defensive gaps and lack of cutting edge up front make this a tough assignment, especially against a side chasing top spot. I expect Germany to dominate possession, create plenty of chances, and cruise to a comfortable 3-0 win.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Luxembourg conceded at least two goals in four of their last five competitive games.
- Five of the last eight games of Germany ended with over 2.5 goals.
- Each of the last two meetings between Luxembourg and Germany produced at least four goals.
Main prediction Luxembourg - Germany
Over 2.5 goals
