Slovakia hosts Germany in a World Cup qualifier as clear underdogs. The hosts have been playing poorly: a 0-1 loss to Israel and a 2-2 draw with Greece in friendly matches show problems both in attack and defense. The team lacks stability against top opponents.
Despite some setbacks in the UEFA Nations League, Germany remains a formidable force, having reached the playoff stage, where they lost to France and Portugal, while demonstrating the depth of their squad and motivation. Talents like Muska and Wirtz can easily break down Slovakia's defense.
