Germany are two wins away from booking their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and their next step comes with a trip to Luxembourg on Friday. After back-to-back victories in October, Julian Nagelsmann’s side sit atop Group A with nine points. Germany’s campaign began with an unexpected loss to Slovakia, but the four-time world champions have since found their rhythm.
Germany have claimed three consecutive wins, including a 4-0 triumph over Luxembourg in the reverse fixture. With eight goals scored and just three conceded, Die Nationalelf are rediscovering their clinical edge as they target direct qualification. A win in Luxembourg, coupled with a slip-up from Northern Ireland against Slovakia, could mathematically seal their top-two finish.

Nagelsmann knows his side can’t afford any complacency. Germany’s dominance has been clear, but their qualifying history shows that smaller teams can occasionally cause frustration. The manager will expect his squad to maintain focus ahead of Monday’s decisive clash against Slovakia, which could determine who finishes first in the group. Captain Joshua Kimmich, who scored twice in their last meeting with Luxembourg, will once again be key in orchestrating play from midfield.
For Luxembourg, this qualifying campaign has been a tough one. Four defeats in four matches have left them rooted to the bottom of the group without a point, having conceded 10 goals and scored just one. Their 4-0 loss in Germany last month saw them reduced to ten men early on, and they did well to keep the scoreline from worsening. Confidence remains low, but manager Jeff Strasser will urge his players to compete with pride in front of their home supporters.

Given the vast gulf in quality between these two sides, goals are likely to flow once again when Germany face Luxembourg. The two nations met just last month, with Germany cruising to a 4-0 victory. Julian Nagelsmann’s men have now scored eight goals in their last three qualifiers, including a 3-1 win over Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, Luxembourg have conceded 10 goals in four matches, failing to find the net since September. With Die Mannschaft chasing automatic qualification and Luxembourg already out of contention, another high-scoring encounter seems probable. Germany’s attacking depth, coupled with Luxembourg’s defensive frailty, makes this a strong play.
Nick Woltemade looks a strong anytime goalscorer pick at -115, having hit form for both club and country. The towering forward has already scored four goals in eight Premier League games for Newcastle plus one in four Champions League outings. He carried that confidence into international duty by netting the winner against Northern Ireland in Germany’s last qualifier. Likely to lead the line again against a much weaker Luxembourg defence that has shipped goals throughout the campaign, Woltemade should get plenty of chances to add to his growing tally.

Given the gulf in quality and form, Germany are overwhelming favourites. Anything less than a convincing victory would come as a shock. As a result, Nagelsmann’s men will be eager to deliver another dominant display to edge closer to World Cup 2026 qualification and keep their winning momentum intact.
