A 1-3 away win in Luxembourg in their first match set them in good stead, although the defeat in the reverse of this fixture in Cologne did come as something of a setback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was at least a setback they faced few problems in bouncing back from as they secured a 2-0 win over Slovakia on Tuesday night thanks to a goal from Trai Hulme and an own goal from Patrik Hrosovsky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany will have expected to win this group without any setbacks of their own, so a 2-0 defeat to Slovakia on Matchday One will have come as a huge shock. That win over Northern Ireland last month was followed up with a 4-0 demolition of Luxembourg on Friday night though, leaving die Mannschaft in a much better position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Group A is very delicately poised at this stage, with both of these teams on six points, with Slovakia also on the same amount of points and Luxembourg proving to offer little of a threat to any of their opponents so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-northern-ireland-team-news\">Northern Ireland team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northern Ireland have been dealt a huge blow with Conor Bradley, the team&#8217;s star performer in that win over Slovakia, being suspended for this game with Oxford United&#8217;s Brodie Spencer expected to take his place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Promising young goalkeeper Pierce Charles has missed out on this squad through injury alongside Kilmarnock midfielder Brad Lyons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-germany-team-news\">Germany team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany are missing a handful of expected starters from this squad with Kai Havertz, Jamal Musiala, Antonio Rudiger, Niclas Fullkrug and Marc-Andre ter Stegen not travelling to Belfast for this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die Mannschaft could also be without defender Nico Schlotterbeck who was withdrawn at half-time of the win over Luxembourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-northern-ireland-vs-germany-head-to-head\">Northern Ireland vs Germany Head-to-Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>11 Oct 2016<\/td><td>Germany 2-0 Northern Ireland<\/td><td>FIFA World Cup<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>05 Oct 2017<\/td><td>Northern Ireland 1-3 Germany<\/td><td>FIFA World Cup<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>09 Sep 2019<\/td><td>Northern Ireland 0-2 Germany<\/td><td>UEFA European Championship<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>19 Nov 2019<\/td><td>Germany 6-1 Northern Ireland<\/td><td>UEFA European Championship<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>07 Sep 2025<\/td><td>Germany 3-1 Northern Ireland<\/td><td>FIFA World Cup<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northern Ireland have an excellent chance to at least secure a play-off spot, but this is their toughest remaining fixture and they&#8217;ll be without their star man in Conor Bradley. That said, they&#8217;ve been scoring plenty of goals recently, so we can see them getting on the scoresheet at least here, just like they did in Cologne last month.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northern Ireland and Germany find themselves embroiled in a battle for World Cup qualification in one of the tightest groups of the UEFA qualifying.
