Team news
Although Germany is soaring high and are well on their way to another World Cup appearance, die Mannschaft know their spot in Russia is not confirmed yet. However the odds of Northern Ireland piping them to top spot is unlikely, as the Green and White Army have to win their remaining two fixtures and Germany lose their remaining two for that to happen.
Unfortunately, Low has a number of absentees. Mesut Ozil (fitness) and Manuel Neuer (foot) are the biggest two, but his worries don’t stop there.
RB Leipzig ace Timo Werner pulled out of the squad due to a neck injury. He joins Gotze (fitness), Reus (knee), Hector (ankle), Weigl (fitness), and Khedira (fitness) on the sidelines.
The defending World Cup champions are still blessed with enough fire power to blow their opponents away. Kross, Muller, Sane, and Draxler will be tasked with tearing apart Northern Ireland; whilst Boateng, Hummels, and ter Stegen will fight to maintain their impeccable defensive record.
