Germany vs Slovakia Prediction: Woltemade to inspire Die Mannschaft

Germany welcome Slovakia to Leipzig on Monday night (19:45, live on Prime Video) for the finale of their 2026 World Cup qualification group, with the hosts needing just a point to secure top spot and a place at next summer's finals in North America.

Read on for my Germany vs Slovakia predictions, featuring the latest odds and team news.

Team News

Antonio Rudiger, Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz are amongst the absentees for the home side, but Joshua Kimmich and Nico Schlotterbeck should return after missing out in Luxembourg with minor issues.

Slovakia will welcome back Ondrej Duda after he served a suspension in the victory over Northern Ireland, with no apparent injury worries to concern the visiting side.

Germany vs Slovakia Odds

Germany are heavy favourites at 2/9 to win, with Slovakia trading at 12/1 to complete the double and the draw priced at 11/2.

Both teams to score is rated 1/1 and over 2.5 goals can be backed at 1/2.

Bet Builder - Germany to win & Nick Woltemade to score anytime @ 20/21

The Germans have recovered well from losing in Bratislava in September and are long odds-on to sign off with a win.

Slovakia have won three of the last six meetings between these two teams, but two of those were friendlies in 2005 and 2016.

They have a poor travelling record, losing four of the last five on the road including a 2-0 loss to Northern Ireland in Belfast last time, while they needed a 90th minute winner in Luxembourg before that.

After his brace against Luxembourg on Friday, Nick Woltemade has three goals in his last two internationals and now nine goals for club and country since moving to Newcastle.

He can cement his status as Germany's leading man with another in what should be a comfortable home win.

Team With Most Booking Points - Germany @ 13/5

Irrespective of how this contest plays out, don't expect Slovakia's to lose their discipline. Francesco Calzona's side have only picked up two yellow cards in their last three games.

Germany have collected a couple of cautions each in their most recent wins against Northern Ireland and Luxembourg and Die Mannschaft could win the card count here.
