Germany hosts Luxembourg in Sinsheim — and while the favorite is obvious, this match carries extra weight. In the qualification race, goal difference rather than head-to-head results could decide who advances, and Germany (3:3) currently trails Slovakia (3:0).
That means this so-called “easy” fixture is also a numbers game. A narrow win may not be enough — every goal counts. Coach Julian Nagelsmann has warned against complacency: “We’re not in a position to underestimate any opponent.”
After a shaky start to the qualifiers, including a 0–2 loss to Slovakia, Germany needs back-to-back wins to stay in control of group A. Luxembourg, bottom of the table but resilient, won’t make things simple — and with Germany under pressure to deliver a convincing victory, the stakes couldn’t be clearer.
Confirmed lineups for the game between Germany and Luxembourg:
Germany (4-2-3-1):
Baumann - Kimmich, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Raum - Goretzka, Pavlović - Gnabry, Wirtz, Adeyemi - Woltemade
Luxembourg (4-2-3-1):
Moris - Jans, Mahmutovic, Korac, Carlson - Olesen, Pereira - Moreira, Barreiro, Bohnert - Dardari
