Germany vs Slovakia Prediction and Betting Tips | November 17th 2025

Germany will welcome Slovakia to Red Bull Arena Leipzig in a must-win game in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Monday. Both teams have four wins from five games, and the winner of this match takes the direct qualification spot from Group A.

The hosts extended their winning streak to four games last week, recording a 2-0 away triumph over Luxembourg. After a goalless first half, Nick Woltemade bagged a brace after the break, thanks to assists from Ridle Baku and Leroy Sané.

The visitors made it two wins from two games last week, defeating Northern Ireland 1-0. Late drama ensued as Tomáš Bobček scored the match-winner in stoppage time, and Northern Ireland defender Daniel Ballard was sent off eight minutes later.

Germany vs Slovakia Prediction

Die Mannschaft extended their winning streak to four games last week while keeping a third consecutive clean sheet and will look to build on that form. Their last home defeat in World Cup qualifiers was registered in March 2021. They have scored at least three goals in four of their last five home games in the qualifiers.

Joshua Kimmich and defender Nico Schlotterbeck were absent against Luxembourg and remain major doubts for Julian Nagelsmann.

Sokoli have won their last two games while keeping clean sheets, though both wins were registered at home. Interestingly, they have won two of their last three meetings against the hosts.

Denis Vavro was an unused substitute in the win over Northern Ireland and is likely to start from the bench again.

While both teams head into the match in good form, considering Die Mannschaft's home advantage, we back them to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Germany 2-1 Slovakia
