Slovakia take on the visitors Germany in a World Cup 2026 qualification match. The match will be played on Thursday, September 4th at Tehelné pole (Bratislava).
Slovakia managed to qualify for the last Euros. More than that, they opened the tournament with a shock victory over Belgium and eventually advanced from a group that also included Ukraine and Romania, with all four teams tied on 4 points. However, their journey ended in the first round of the knockout stage. In the autumn Nations League campaign, they finished second in a group with Estonia, Azerbaijan, and Sweden. That result earned them a playoff spot in March, but after two draws against Slovenia, they were eliminated in extra time due to conceding late. To make matters worse, they followed that disappointment with defeats in June friendlies — 1-4 to Greece and 0-1 to Israel. The team has now gone four games without a win, and confidence appears to be slipping. Still, their defensive shape remains organized, and they tend to stay competitive even against stronger sides.

Germany want to finally achieve tangible success. The “Bundesteam,” once crowned world champions, struggled for years with underwhelming performances. Eventually, coach Hansi Flick was dismissed after a string of poor friendly results, with fears of a disaster at their “home” Euros. Under Julian Nagelsmann, Germany improved both in style and in results, though their campaign was halted by Spain, who advanced thanks to an extra-time goal. Afterward, Germany confirmed their strength in the Nations League, advancing from the group stage and defeating Italy away in March. However, their “final four” campaign at home ended in disappointment with losses to both Portugal and France. That double setback now serves as extra motivation for the Mannschaft to bounce back. In addition, their attacking line — with the likes of Musiala, Havertz, and Wirtz — has been in strong form at club level, which raises expectations. Defensively, however, there are still some questions to answer after recent lapses against top opposition.
Surprisingly, despite three defeats to the “Bundesteam,” Slovakia have managed to win two other encounters — few teams can boast a 40% win rate against such an opponent! Nagelsmann’s men have double motivation to succeed here — they need to overcome a tricky opponent and also make up for their June failures. The bet: Germany to win away with a -1.0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Germany to win with -1.0 handicap.
