Germany face Slovakia in a winner-takes-all World Cup qualifier in Leipzig tonight. The four-time World Cup champions go into the match against Slovakia level with the visitors on points, but with the advantage on goal difference.

It means Julian Nagelsmann’s side can qualify automatically with a draw, but they were beaten by Slovakia 2-0 in Bratislava in September. "We are maybe a bit nervous ahead of [the game],” Nagelsmann said. “There is a lot of appeal in such a game. At the end of the day we have to take things as they are.”

Nagelsmann, who has previously coached Bayern Munich, is looking to reach the World Cup and improve Germany’s disappointing recent record at the tournament, where they fell to group-stage exits in 2018 and 2022.
