Germany take on the visitors Luxemburg in a World Cup 2026 qualification match. The match will be played on Friday, October 10th at PreZero Arena (Sinsheim).
Germany cannot afford another setback. Die Mannschaft under Julian Nagelsmann have finally shown real improvement after a long period of stagnation. At the “home” Euro, they delivered both attractive football and solid results. Yes, they lost to Spain, but the future champions scored the decisive goal only in extra time. The Nations League campaign also began strongly — Germany topped their group with 14 points, finishing five ahead of the Netherlands, and handled Italy confidently in March with a convincing away win. However, the June finals turned into a disappointment: a 1-2 defeat to Portugal followed by a 0-2 loss to France. To make matters worse, the same scoreline was repeated in September against Slovakia as the new cycle began. Fortunately, they closed that window with a morale-boosting 3-1 home win over Northern Ireland. Nagelsmann’s side continue to control matches with their high-tempo pressing and fluid attacking structure, but defensive lapses remain an issue. Still, with players like Musiala and Wirtz in top form, Germany look ready to get back on track and remind everyone why they are still among Europe’s elite.

Luxembourg spent many years under Luc Holtz, who oversaw what looked like slow but steady progress — the former minnows began to look like a respectable mid-tier team. However, results gradually worsened, and last autumn’s Nations League campaign brought only 3 points in a group with Bulgaria, Belarus, and Northern Ireland. It was no surprise that a new coach, Strasser, arrived in 2025. Yet, nothing has improved under his leadership. True, they beat Sweden in a friendly in March, but that was followed by two defeats and a draw in similar non-competitive matches. In last month’s qualifiers, they lost both home games — first 1-3 to Northern Ireland, then to Slovakia. Technically, they still have a mathematical chance to recover, but realistically they remain the weakest team in this group. Luxembourg have been struggling at both ends of the pitch, scoring only twice in their last four competitive outings. Their defensive shape also looks fragile, conceding multiple goals against sides of comparable level.
The neighbors have met only four times in total, and Die Mannschaft have won every single encounter. Germany are focused solely on victory, and it’s hard to see the visitors offering much resistance. The bet here is for the hosts to win with a “-2.5 goals” handicap.
Prediction for the match: Germany to win with -2.5 handicap.
