Northern Ireland hosts Germany in round 6 of Euro qualification. The match will be played on Monday, September 9th at Windsor Park (Belfast)
Perhaps the main surprise of this qualifying campaign is the leadership of Northern Ireland in Group C where Germany and Holland are its rivals. But I am sure that after the upcoming match, it will have to share the 1st line with the Germans, whom Northern Ireland outranks by 3 points now. And the leadership of these islanders is also explicable. They played 4 matches like everyone else in the group. But they played 2 times against Belarus and Estonia. And now Germany will come. Moreover, Germany is furious after an annoying home defeat to Holland.

In the last round, the Germans, taking the Dutch on the visitors, were the first to score a goal. Germany won the 1st half. But the visitors did not think to give up. On the contrary, they seized the initiative, deprived the home team of the ball which they possessed 67% of the playing time. And the score in the 2nd half was equalized. And then thanks to Tah's own goal, who spent only his 7th match for the national team, the Dutch were ahead. Kroos leveled the score from the penalty spot, and it seemed the match would end in a draw. But the Dutch were against it. They felt that the Germans had broken down and squeezed the opponent by scoring 2 goals. What was it? There were cries of not only fans but also football experts. There was nothing special - Germany did not tune up properly, and the defense failed. The visitors scored all 4 goals from the penalty area.
As for the upcoming match, the Germans will probably tune up accordingly. And Reus, Werner, Gnabry, Kroos, Waldshimdt are likely to score at least 2 two goals. Although they lost to the Dutch, they scored 2 goals. And why shouldn’t they score Northern Ireland? Even Belarus and Estonia lost to it but scored. Despite the temporary leadership of the “Northern Irish iron” and the Germans' loss in the last round, the difference in class between the teams is incommensurable and simply not negotiable. The tale for the men of O`Neill ends and harsh reality begins. At its beginning, the German team will be able to score at least twice. Over the past 22 years, rivals have met 7 times. And in 6 games, Germany scored at least 2 times. 3 goals and more were scored in 5 matches.
Prediction for the match: Germany to score over 1.5 goals
