Match Preview
Northern Ireland is currently second in Group C with 19 points, just five points behind first-place Germany. The Green and White Army can still get that first-place spot although a second-place finish seems far more likely. This is a must-win game if Michael O’Neill’s men aspire to finish top of Group C but it should be a very tough match even with the home-field advantage.
The Irish side is on a tremendous run, having won five consecutive games and not conceding any goals in this span. Michael O’Neill will hope for this continued success but it will be an arduous task against a team like Germany.
Germany has been one of the best teams in the UEFA World Cup qualifiers, currently first in Group C with 24 points and a goal differential of 33. Die Mannschaft has won all eight games played in this competition and has only conceded two goals so far.
The latest result for Joachim Low’s men was a dominant 6-0 win against Norway but this game should be a bit more of a challenge. The last time the two teams met, Germany walked away with a 2-0 win at home but this could prove to be a much more complicated game at Windsor Park.
