The two teams who will be clashing at Windsor Park, Belfast, on Monday (September 9) are sitting at the top end of Group C of UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers. However, both the teams have had very contrasting set of fixtures thus far.
Northern Ireland have won all four of their matches so far, but they are yet to face the big two of their group – Netherlands and Germany. The last four matches of the Green and White Army will be against these two sides.
On the other hand, Germany have won three out of the four matches they have played so far. But they have already played both the matches against the most intimidating side besides them from Group C– the Netherlands. The upcoming fixtures are comparatively easier for Die Mannschaft.
Last Meeting between the sides
Germany and Northern Ireland last met in 2017, when Joachin Low’s men enjoyed a comfortable 3-1 victory. Sebastian Rudy, Joshua Kimmich and Sandro Wagner scored for the visitors. An year earlier, Germany registered a 2-0 victory over Northern Ireland. Julian Draxler and Sami Khedira were the scorers.
Germany favourites to win
Though Michael O’Neill’s team is in a great run of form, Germany is in a different league altogether. Steven Davis & Co. will have to get their A game to even get a point at Windsor Park.

Northern Ireland have a good defence, but will the German attack be too hot to handle?
