Germany entered this match after a 2-0 victory over Luxembourg. Striker Nick Woltemade's double helped Die Nationalelf continue to lead Group A with 12 points.
However, coach Julian Nagelsmann and his team are still not really safe, as they are only better than Slovakia - the second-placed team - in goal difference. Both teams have a record of 4 wins and 1 loss after five matches.
Germany lost 0-2 to Slovakia in the opening match of the group stage, but then came back strongly with 4 consecutive victories, including two defeats to Northern Ireland and Luxembourg. However, this challenge is expected to be much more difficult.
Currently, Germany is sure to be in the top 2 and will qualify directly for the World Cup next summer if they do not lose this match. On the contrary, if Slovakia wins, Nagelsmann's team will have to enter the play-off round.
Slovakia has also secured a top 2 finish and will qualify for the final round as the top team if they defeat Germany.
The last time Slovakia participated in the World Cup finals was in 2010, when the team advanced to the round of 16. However, they have missed all three of their recent World Cups.
The history of the head-to-head also brought confidence to coach Calzona's team. Slovakia have won 4 out of 12 meetings with the German national team in all competitions, including 2 wins in the last 3 matches against their opponents.
