Germany will try to bounce back when they face Luxembourg at the PreZero Arena on October 10, 2025, in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. After losing 2-0 to Slovakia and then beating Northern Ireland 3-1 , Softfootball understands that Julian Nagelsmann's side will be looking for a more convincing performance to steady their campaign.
Germany's history in this fixture speaks for itself. They've won 11 of their previous 12 meetings, including that famous 7-0 win in 2006. But form hasn't been as steady lately they needed a strong reminder of their responsibility from Julian Nagelsmann to get a response against Ireland after that timid performance against Slovakia, and they'll want to remind fans what they're capable of.
Team NewsAntonio Rudiger misses out through injury, joining Jamal Musiala on the sidelines, while goalkeeper Oliver Baumann is reportedly unwell. That could open the door for Alexander Nubel to start in goal. Nick Woltemade, who's yet to score for the senior team, is expected to lead the line again after a run of good games for Newcastle and after it was announced by Germany via their official X account that the striker had recovered from a flu-like symptom.
