A prettier picture is suddenly being painted in World Cup qualifying for Germany, who will take control of Group A with a win in Belfast on Monday night.
Northern Ireland helped Julian Nagelsmann’s side out massively by beating Slovakia in their previous outing, while the four-time world champions eased past a 10-man Luxembourg 4–0 to earn their second victory of qualifying.
Germany are now level on points with their upcoming opponents and Slovakia, who beat them last month, and are in pole position to progress automatically to next summer’s tournament, given that they host the Slovaks in November.
However, first they must mitigate Northern Ireland’s challenge at Windsor Park, having earned an unconvincing 3–1 triumph in the reverse fixture.
Here’s how supporters can tune into the action on Monday.
