"Back in June, Germany hosted the conclusion of the 2025 UEFA Nations League but eliminated in a 2-1 loss to Portugal in the semifinal. Germany also lost the third place match to France, 2-0. Germany will now turn its focus to qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Germany is the heavy favorite to earn the automatic qualifier spot in Group A."
"Odds: Germany (-220), Draw (+350), Slovakia (+550) Prediction: Germany wins 2-1. Slovakia will hold strong and take a 0-0 draw into the locker room at halftime. Serge Gnabry will score off a clever flick pass from Florian Wirtz. Nick Woltemade will score ten minutes later on a set piece. Slovakia will claw back a goal in stoppage time but the result will already be in hand."
Germany hosted the conclusion of the 2025 UEFA Nations League but was eliminated after a 2-1 semifinal loss to Portugal and a 2-0 third-place defeat to France. The team will shift focus to qualifying for the 2026 World Cup and enters Group A as the heavy favorite for the automatic spot. Germany and Slovakia have met five times since 2005; Slovakia won both friendlies while Germany won three EURO matches. Slovakia reached the promotion playoff for Nations League B in March but lost to Slovenia 1-0 on aggregate. Slovakia retains a decent chance to secure one of four World Cup wild card spots. Match location, date, kickoff time, broadcast outlets, odds, and a 2-1 Germany prediction are provided.
