Germany are playing catch-up after the first set of matches in World Cup qualifying Group A. They are bottom of the group and hope to get some points on the board when hosting leaders Northern Ireland. Here's our match prediction.
The Germans were surprisingly beaten 2-0 away in Slovakia, conceding a goal in each half. That defeat ended a run of seven straight wins in World Cup qualifiers since being beaten by North Macedonia four years ago. It was only their fourth ever World Cup qualifying defeat.
Germany have now lost their last three matches, following Nations League losses to Portugal and France.
Northern Ireland made a successful start to their campaign with a 3-1 win in Luxembourg. They took an early lead in that match and despite Luxembourg equalizing in the 30th minute, they pushed on to win by two clear goals.
That followed up a 1-0 friendly win over Iceland in June. It's an important turnaround in form for Northern Ireland as they had gone four games without a win before then, They haven't qualified for the World Cup finals since 1986 and not since 2016 have they made it to the Euro finals.
Germany have won their last nine games against their opponents. We tip them to win and lead at half and full time.

Our Germany vs Northern Ireland Prediction
Germany need to get back on track after losing 2-0 in Slovakia. Recent results have been poor but the standard of their opponents has been high. They will certainly do all they can to get their World Cup qualifying campaign back on track.
Next year will mark 40 years since Northern Ireland last played in the World Cup finals. Recent results had been poor, especially on the road. Wins over Iceland and Luxembourg will give them confidence but this is a tough task indeed. Our Germany v Northern Ireland prediction is Germany to win and lead at half and full time.
