Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Slovakia, Northern Ireland will look to retain second place in Group A when they take on Germany in a highly-anticipated World Cup qualifier. The Green and White Army are brimming with confidence ahead of Monday’s clash, but they will have a mountain to climb against the star-studded visitors. With no fresh injury worries to report, Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Slovakia on Friday evening.
Both Pierce Charles (goalkeeper) and Jordan Thompson (midfielder) remain in the recovery room. Hansi Flick’s men, on the other hand, aim to build on a routine 4-0 win over Luxembourg. Given the number of high-profile players in the away team, we do not believe that Northern Ireland are capable of claiming a major scalp at Windsor Park. Borussia Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the last qualifying game.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Monday 13 October 2025 at 19:45.
