The German National Football Team will travel to Slovakia to face them in the World Cup Qualifiers, as they have been placed in Group A alongside Luxembourg and Northern Ireland. Here's Sportsdunia's Slovakia vs Germany Preview:

Slovakia National Football Team will return to action, as they will welcome Germany to the Tehelne Pole for the World Cup Qualifiers. 2025 has not been a good year for them, as they haven't won an international match this year and are still in search of their first win. They lost three consecutive matches this year and will hope to get a better result when they take on Germany. These two sides will face each other after nine years, and the home team will have to make sure to give their best on the pitch.

On the other hand, Germany are going through some difficult times, as they lost in the semi-finals of the Nations League to Portugal, and finished overall fourth as they lost to France, they will hope to get good results this time in the Qualifiers. Nagelsmann was forced to make a lot of changes in his squad as several key players are not part of the camp due to injuries. Despite all the issues on and off the pitch, Germany are a strong team who are clear favourite to top this group. They have a great record against Slovakia and will hope to get the win away from home. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Slovakia vs Germany Head-to-Head Record

Key Players to Watch in Slovakia vs Germany

Robert Bozenik (Slovakia)

Bozenik is still quite young and is in his mid-twenties, and already has 49 caps for the Slovakian National Team. He also played for a variety of international youth teams of Slovakia and has been a key player for them for quite a bit of time. Bozenik joined the Championship side Stoke City this season and is yet to score a goal. Statistically, his profile is not that attractive, but his impact on the pitch is really good, and surely he will create a lot of problems to the away team.

Nick Woltemade (Germany)

The German youngster has been a point of discussion in the German media for quite some time, especially during this transfer window. Bayern Munich wanted him to join them, but they were not able to reach an agreement with VfB Stuttgart, and now he has joined Premier League side Newcastle United. Woltemade is a very promising striker who is capable of replacing Alexander Isak at Newcastle, who was a vital part of Eddie Howe's side. He is a tall, fast, and very athletic player and has a great instinct to score goals. He did really well with Stuttgart last season, and he will be a big threat to the home team's defence in the upcoming match for sure.

Slovakia vs Germany Prediction

Despite missing several players and playing away from home, Germany won't be an easy team to beat as they have top-quality players who are capable of making a difference. Slovakia do have the home advantage, but they will have to be at their best to beat Nagelsmann's team. Fans can expect this to be an exciting clash. Most probably, Germany will narrowly win this match.

Predicted Score: Slovakia 1-2 Germany
