Germany vs Republic of Ireland

Home - Germany
Last away matches - L-W-W-W-W-D

The world current best goalkeeper Manuel Neuer would not of been happy with this weeks performance against Poland who managed to put two goals past him, and what made things worse is that his team mates failed to score anything which ended the game with a shock loss. Germany’s only goalscorer so far during the qualification stages is Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller who has scored twice. Both of these were against Scotland last month when they won 2 – 1.Germany, meanwhile, suffered its first defeat to Poland in Warsaw on the same day, having previously struggled to a 2-1 win over Scotland in its group opener. Goals from Arkadiusz Milik and Sebastian Mila condemned Germany to its first defeat in 19 competitive outings and its only loss in qualifying since a reversal against Czech Republic in in 2007.With Joachim Low's relatively new-look side finding its feet after winning the World Cup in Brazil, O'Neill is confident his players will ask questions of the Germans in Gelsenkirchen.

Away - Republic of Ireland
Last away matches - W-L-D-D

The only injury we have for Republic of Ireland is Everton’s Seamus Coleman who has a reported hamstring issue he picked up at the end of last month. David Forde has been the preferred first choice goalkeeper having played in all three qualifiers so far. Robbie Keane is the nations top scorer so far after his hat-trick this week against Gibraltar. Aiden McGeady is close behind with two goals and one assist. Ireland shipped nine goals against Germany when the nations were paired in Group C of qualifying for this year's World Cup, and O'Neill warned neither he nor his side will get carried away by the strong start.
