European qualifiers: Slovakia vs Germany

‍On September 3, 2025, the war in Group A of the World Cup European Group Stage is about to be ignited. Slovakia will play against Germany at home. Slovakia is currently ranked 52nd in the world football world, and its performance this year is not ideal. In the UEFA League, it is only ranked 2nd in Group A of the C League, and is only 3 points away from the group top. It is a pity that the German team is currently ranked 9th in the world football world. In the UEFA League, the team won the top in Group C of the League. During this period, the team lost to France 0-2, which led to it being stopped in the semi-finals. Now the two teams meet. In terms of strength, the German team must be stronger. Who can win the European preliminaries in this game? Let's analyze it:

Slovakia has played several games this year but has not been satisfactory. The last international match day suffered a heavy blow: first lost to Greece 1-4, and then 0-1 Losing to Israel, the performance was disappointing. This game is the team's journey to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The team's goal is to reach the World Cup finals. The only time before it advanced to the World Cup was the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. At that time, Slovakia defeated the defending champion Italy in the group stage and successfully advanced to the knockout stage, which caused a lot of upset. Now the team definitely wants to continue to compete for the World Cup. Facing the German team, the team will definitely not give 3 points in vain.

The German team has always been a powerful team in football. Currently, the team has well-known players such as Kimmich, Rudiger, Gnabrey, Gretzka, Ter Stegen and Wilz. Their strength cannot be underestimated. However, the team is not in ideal shape. They have not won three consecutive games. They have played against the French team in the last game and were finally blocked by their opponents 0-2. Facing the weak team in this game is a good opportunity for the team, and it depends on whether they can grasp it.

In terms of strength, the German team is stronger. The two sides have faced each other in the last 5 matches, and the German team has achieved an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 1 draw. In the 2016 European Cup, Germany easily defeated Slovakia 3-0, but in a warm-up match of the same year, Germany lost to Slovakia 1-3. Now we meet again. Who can win in the end and who will perform better on the spot.

German team (4-2-3-1 formation) start prediction: Bowman (goalkeeper) - Corinthians, Rudiger, Ta, Raum - Kimich, Gretzka - Adeyemi, Werz, Gnabry - Voltaimad

Slovak team (4-3-3 formation) start prediction: Dubravka (goalkeeper) - Messik, Gurber, Skriniar, Hanzko - Bero, Lobotka, Duda - Schlanz, Bozenik, Tupta
