Germany Can Seal 2026 World Cup Spot With Wins Over Luxembourg and Slovakia

A slip would leave goal difference plus other results to decide the group, risking a March playoff.

Overview

  • Germany and Slovakia are level on nine points before the final two fixtures, with Northern Ireland on six and Luxembourg on zero.
  • Germany visits Luxembourg on Friday before hosting Slovakia in Leipzig on Monday in a match that will settle the group winner.
  • The tiebreaker is overall goal difference across all six group games rather than head‑to‑head results.
  • If Germany finishes outside first place, a UEFA playoff in March remains possible, with seeding as runner‑up and potential entry via Nations League ranking if third.
  • To boost local attendance, the Saxony FA is offering €10 group tickets for the Leipzig match, with about 2,500 sold and roughly 500 still available under a 10–50 tickets per group rule.
