Match Preview: Germany vs Ireland

Kick Off Time 19:45

Team News

Germany
  • Germany head coach Joachim Low has a fully fit squad to choose from and may make a number of changes from the side that overcame Faroe Islands last month.
  • Marcell Jansen, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Max Kruse are all expected to start against the Republic of Ireland.
  • Germany also need to only avoid defeat if they're to secure automatic qualification to next summer's World Cup.
Ireland
  • Republic of Ireland begin life after Giovanni Trapattoni following the Italian's resignation with a trip to Germany.
  • However, they're expected to remain relatively unchanged from the side the lost to Austria last time out, with James McClean coming in for Jonathan Walters the only expected change.

Prediction


  • Germany will qualify for the World Cup if they avoid defeat against Republic of Ireland and are expected to name a strong starting XI for the welcome of the Green Army.
  • Republic of Ireland, on the other hand, have endured a miserable qualification and will look to restore some pride with the trip to Berlin.
  • Joachim Low's side, however, with their strength in depth are expected to pick up a routine win against Republic of Ireland.
