Looking to make it two wins from two games in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, Germany host Armenia in Group J at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on Sunday.
The visitors were held to an uneventful goalless draw by North Macedonia and will be looking to quickly bounce back from that performance.
Germany returned to winning ways in the World Cup qualifiers as they claimed a 2-0 victory away to Liechtenstein on Thursday.
In a one-sided affair at the AFG Arena, Timo Werner and Leroy Sane scored in either half to hand Die Mannschaft all three points.
With nine points from four games, Hansi Flick’s men are currently second in Group J, one point below league leaders Armenia.
Meanwhile, Armenia have enjoyed a thrilling run in the qualifiers, picking up 10 points from four outings. However, they head into Sunday’s game off the back of a goalless draw against North Macedonia on home turf.
Armenia are winless in their last three games, picking up two draws and one defeat. They will look to bounce back from that performance and continue their hunt for a place in Qatar.
Germany vs Armenia Head-To-Head
This will be the fourth-ever meeting between the two sides. The Germans have been perfect in their previous three encounters, claiming wins in each of them.
