On the other hand, Northern Ireland have met expectations as they managed a draw against a potentially stronger side, Czech Republic and a comfortable win against San Marino. They also managed two clean sheets that highlights Northern Ireland’s defensive mentality. Both sides have no injured or suspended players within the squad that was called up.

That said, once the German side will manage to find a first goal they will go on to register a comfortable win.
