Luxembourg Play Host to Germany in FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier
Luxembourg will play host to Germany in a FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying match at the Stade de Luxembourg this Friday. Unsurprisingly, Germany look poised to secure qualification for next summer’s tournament in North America, while minnows Luxembourg are already eliminated from contention. With nothing more than pride to play for, can the hosts offer any kind of challenge to Die Mannschaft this week?
### Luxembourg vs Germany Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Germany and Luxembourg have only faced off twice before, with Germany dominating both encounters. The most recent—and only relevant—meeting saw Germany secure a comfortable 4-0 victory just last month.
Luxembourg have lost all four of their World Cup qualifying matches to date, meaning they have no chance of making it to North America next summer. They were always expected to struggle in a group alongside Germany, Slovakia, and Northern Ireland, and conceding ten goals in those four matches is a testament to their resilience as a small footballing nation.
Germany, in contrast, have bounced back from a shock 2-0 defeat to Slovakia in September by winning their last three qualifying matches. Currently sitting top of their group on goal difference, Germany’s qualification is not yet guaranteed—next week’s match against Slovakia will be decisive.
If Die Mannschaft were to miss out on next summer’s tournament—which seems highly unlikely—it would be the first time since 1950 that Germany would not feature in a World Cup. Assuming they do qualify, Germany will be aiming to improve on their recent performances in 2018 and 2022, when they were eliminated during the group stage.
In terms of squad depth, coach Julian Nagelsmann faces no major issues at present. The only injury withdrawals from Germany’s squad this month have been Nico Schlotterbeck and Nadiem Amiri.
### Luxembourg vs Germany Prediction
Despite winning three of their four qualifying matches so far, Germany have yet to find the imperious form that once made them Europe’s most feared team. Nevertheless, victory against Luxembourg is highly likely.
The hosts will enjoy home advantage but have rarely turned this into strong results, especially against European heavyweights like Germany. Having lost all four of their qualifiers this campaign, Luxembourg face a tough challenge.
Given Germany’s 4-0 win over Luxembourg in the previous meeting, it’s easy to predict a similar outcome this Friday. A victory here will bring Germany to the cusp of securing qualification for the World Cup.
**Prediction:** Luxembourg 0-4 Germany
### Luxembourg vs Germany Betting Tips
– **Tip 1:** Germany to win
– **Tip 2:** Match to feature three or more goals (both previous Germany-Luxembourg games had 3+ goals)
– **Tip 3:** Germany to score in the first half (Germany have scored in the first half in their last three matches)
Stay tuned for an exciting qualifier as Germany look to confirm their place at the 2026 World Cup.
