Germany vs Slovakia Preview

Germany host Slovakia at the Red Bull Arena on Monday, 17th November 2025, in a World Cup qualifying encounter between two sides riding strong recent form. Both nations have claimed four victories from their last five matches, with Germany seeking revenge after Slovakia handed them their only recent defeat back in September. This fixture promises tactical intrigue and competitive intensity as the qualifying campaign reaches a crucial juncture.

Germany’s recent form has been commanding despite one notable setback. Their most recent outing delivered a 2-0 away victory over Luxembourg on Friday. Prior to that, they defeated Northern Ireland 1-0 in October. Earlier in this sequence, they thrashed Luxembourg 4-0 at home and secured a 3-1 home win against Northern Ireland in September. However, their only blemish came in a 2-0 away loss to Slovakia in early September, a result that still resonates heading into this encounter. Germany have scored 10 goals across these five matches while conceding just three, demonstrating their ability to control games and create chances consistently.

Slovakia arrive in equally impressive form, also claiming four wins from their last five outings. Their most recent match saw them edge Northern Ireland 1-0 at home on Friday. Before that, they defeated Luxembourg 2-0 at home in October. Earlier in this run, they suffered their only defeat when Northern Ireland won 2-0 in October, before bouncing back with a 1-0 away victory over Luxembourg in September. Most significantly, they opened this sequence with that memorable 2-0 home triumph over Germany in early September. Slovakia have managed their matches efficiently, scoring six goals while conceding just two, showing defensive resilience and clinical finishing.

The head-to-head record slightly favours Germany, who have won three of the last five encounters, with Slovakia claiming two victories. Most recently, Slovakia secured that significant 2-0 home win in September 2025, demonstrating their capability against top opposition. Germany had previously won 3-0 at home in June 2016, though Slovakia also claimed a notable 3-1 away victory in May 2016.

Germany enter this fixture determined to avenge that September defeat and reassert their dominance in the qualifying group. Playing at the Red Bull Arena provides home advantage, though Slovakia have proven they can compete with and defeat the Germans on their day. Both teams have demonstrated strong defensive organization and attacking efficiency throughout their recent campaigns, suggesting a tightly contested encounter where tactical discipline and individual quality could prove decisive.
