Prediction and Preview

German 3 - 2 Slovakia 

Germany possible starting lineup:

Baumann; Baku, Schlotterbeck, Tah, Raum; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sane, Wirtz, Gnabry; Woltemade

Slovakia possible starting lineup:

Dubravka; Gyomber, Skriniar, Obert, Hancko; Bero, Lobotka, Rigo; Duris, Strelec, Haraslin

Germany continue to deal with a number of injury absentees, with Marc-André ter Stegen, Antonio Rüdiger, Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz all still unavailable for selection.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side reported no fresh issues following their win over Luxembourg, and a largely unchanged XI is expected for this fixture. However, Joshua Kimmich and Nico Schlotterbeck should both return after missing the previous match due to minor problems.

Woltemade, who has now netted three goals in seven international caps, is set to lead the line once again for Germany, while Liverpool star Florian Wirtz is also in line to retain his place in the starting lineup.

For Slovakia, David Strelec—an eight-goal international in 34 appearances—is expected to spearhead the attack on Monday.

Experienced duo Martin Dúbravka and Milan Škriniar are likely starters for the visitors, with David Hancko set to occupy the left-back role. No surprises are anticipated in the attacking areas, with David Ďuriš poised to start and Tomas Rigo also expected to feature.
