Germany have won 4 straight matches since their opening loss to Slovakia and just beat Luxembourg 2-0, and they are playing at home in Leipzig where they have won 5 consecutive World Cup qualifiers and only lost 1 of their last 34 home qualifiers, which shows how dominant they are. Germany's attacking players are in good form especially Nick Woltemade, and the team has only conceded 3 goals in 5 qualifiers, making their defense one of the best in the competition. Slovakia did beat Germany 2-0 in September which gives them belief, but they are terrible away from home having lost 5 of their last 6 away matches and failed to score in 3 of their last 5 away games, so they will struggle to create chances at the Redbull Arena. Both teams are strong defensively, so low-scoring matches are expected, and the last 9 consecutive Slovakia matches had under 3.5 total goals, meaning the under 4.5 requirement is very likely to be met.
