Slovakia vs Germany Team News
Slovakia Team News
Francesco Calzona was appointed following the 2022 Qatar World Cup to lead the Slovak national team. This year hasn’t exactly been a successful one, as they’ve yet to win a single game.
In the summer friendlies, they lost to Israel 0-1, with Yarden Shua scoring the only goal of the match. Slovakia rely on defensive solidity but have little to show for it. In another friendly, Calzona’s side were torn apart 1-4 by Greece, despite going into halftime level.
Vangelis Pavlidis claimed a 2-1 lead in the 66th minute, but the Slovaks didn’t collapse until the final minutes. David Hrnčár scored an own goal, just a few minutes after Anastasios Douvikas found the net.
In the Nations League, they bowed out against Slovenia, losing 0-1 in the second leg after drawing the first. Moreover, their most recent win came back in November 2024, when Strelec’s strike secured a 1-0 victory over Estonia.
Slovakia predicted line-up vs Germany (4-2-3-1): Dúbravka; Gyömbér, Hancko, Škriniar, Pekarík; Lobotka, Hrošovský; Haraslín, Duda, Schranz, Strelec.
Germany Team News
Germany were expected to thrive under Julian Nagelsmann, but recent results have been far from inspiring. The DFB side continue to struggle to find an ideal striker, leading to various experiments. Unlike most countries, they didn’t schedule any friendlies in June, as they advanced further in the Nations League – though that run ended with defeats to Portugal and France.
In the match against Portugal, Nick Woltemade was deployed as the lone striker, supported by Leroy Sané and Florian Wirtz. The latter scored Germany’s only goal shortly after halftime, but Cristiano Ronaldo and Francisco Conceição powered a Portuguese comeback.

Things unraveled even more against France. Nagelsmann’s men never found the key to Les Bleus’ counter-attacks, as Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise scored. The pace proved too much for Germany’s slow defence, which is something Nagelsmann needs to address.
The team are deemed favourites in their World Cup Qualifiers group, where they’re set to meet Slovakia, Luxembourg, and Northern Ireland.
Marc-André Ter Stegen will be sidelined due to injury.
Germany predicted line-up vs Slovakia (4-2-3-1): Nübel; Raum, Tah, Rüdiger, Kimmich; Groß, Andrich; Gnabry, Wirtz, Adeyemi; Füllkrug.

Slovakia vs Germany Prediction, Odds
- Prediction: Germany to win
- Odds: -209 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Slovakia 0-2 Germany
Germany may not have a great record against big opponents lately, but they usually breeze through their qualifiers, whether it’s the European Championship or the World Cup. The challenge is to find a stable formula, as Nagelsmann remains insecure about his choices, especially in the striker position.
The DFB side are expected to play on the counter and through their wings, where players like Sané, Adeyemi, and Gnabry can easily outpace their opponents. Slovakia will need to rely on Lobotka’s resilience in the midfield to avoid a disaster in Bratislava.
Slovakia vs Germany Betting Tip
- Pick: Florian Wirtz to score
- Odds: TBC (Tonybet)
As Germany’s current roster comprises mainly young players, consistency is a rare treasure. One of the few stars who has shown it has been none other than Florian Wirtz, whose creativity has been vital for Nagelsmann.
His decision-making in the final third will be crucial, as Slovakia are expected to set up a low block, where every available half-space can become an opportunity. With pacey wingers at his disposal, the only challenge will be not to rush attacks.
