Comments on the match Germany vs Luxembourg, 1:45 a.m. October 11: Difference in class

Germany vs Luxembourg form

Before the start of Group A of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Germany was the favorite and was expected to easily win first place and go straight to North America next summer. However, life was not as dreamy as expected. Right in the opening match, Die Mannschaft suffered a painful shock.

Visiting Slovakia, the team under the command of young general Julian Nagelsmann unexpectedly lost 0-2. Losing right from the starting line makes the road to the biggest football festival on the planet for the Western European giant full of thorns.

Despite a quick comeback with a 3-1 win over Northern Ireland, fans still had reason to worry. That match saw Germany held to a draw for three-quarters of the official match time and only managed to take the lead in the final 20 minutes.

With 3 points in hand, the German team is currently ranked 3rd, 3 points behind the top position held by Slovakia. In the next 3 matches, Florian Wirtz and his teammates' task is to collect all 9 points, before entering the decisive match with their main opponent Slovakia in Leipzig.

In theory, the above goal is not too difficult for Die Mannschaft to achieve. However, it is important to know that under coach Nagelsmann, the German team's winning rate is relatively modest, only 52% after the first 25 matches.

Therefore, if they do not maintain high concentration and caution, especially in the visit to Northern Ireland in a few days, the four-time world champion team can easily be pushed into a difficult position.

Comments on the match Germany vs Luxembourg, 1:45 a.m. October 11: Difference in class - photo 2 — The journey to find a ticket to the 2026 World Cup is still full of hardships for Florian Wirtz and his teammates.

On the other hand, Luxembourg still brings a familiar face to continental tournaments. But at least, the team from this small country is still showing signs of progress. Instead of losing in a gloomy way, Luxembourg has started to be able to create certain difficulties for the stronger opponents.

In the past two matches, the team under the direction of coach Jeff Strasser only suffered defeats with not too big differences, 1-3 against Northern Ireland and 0-1 against Slovakia. However, the possibility of the away team creating a surprise in their visit to Rhein-Neckar-Arena is very low.

The last time they faced Germany, in a friendly match nearly two decades ago, Luxembourg suffered a crushing 0-7 defeat. A similar result with a similar margin is unlikely to be repeated, but a heavy defeat is still an inevitable scenario for Bohnert and his teammates.
