Germany have made a bright start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, recording comfortable 3-0 victories over both Norway and the Czech Republic. Joachim Löw's side will look to continue that momentum in their encounter with Northern Ireland in Hannover on Tuesday, in a repeat of a match that Germany won 1-0 in the group stages of the European Championships back in the summer.

Northern Ireland are certainly underdogs, though they’ll head into the match in high spirits. Michael O’Neill’s side have picked up a solid four points from their first couple of matches, including a 4-0 victory over San Marino at Windsor Park last time out. They’re sure to try and make life difficult for Germany with a rigid and risk-averse tactical approach, and anything other than a defeat would be an excellent result.
