World Cup - Qualification Europe
Germany is expected to respond with a victory to its unexpected loss in its first qualifying match. It lost 0:2 in its away game against Slovakia. Currently, it has three consecutive losses in total, with the other two being against France and Portugal in June. However, in its last home game against a more manageable opponent, it crushed Bosnia 7:0, and in their last meeting in 2019, it also defeated Northern Ireland 6:1 at home.
On the other hand, Northern Ireland managed to start with a victory, beating Luxembourg 3:1 away, after not having a win in six consecutive visits before that. However, it is hard to see how they can achieve a win against a team of such caliber now. We have to go back years to find the last time they defeated a similar opponent.
Prediction: -1.5 AH for GermanyAfter their three consecutive losses and the surprising one on Thursday, it is expected that this time Germany will respond with a proper victory. Northern Ireland should not be underestimated, but the Germans cannot afford such a thing at this moment, so I expect them to play at a high level this time and win by at least two goals difference.
