Atalanta hosts Venezia in a Serie A Matchday 7 fixture. The game takes place on Monday, October 12, at 17:30 UK Time in Bergamo.
Germany hosts Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier from Group A. The match will be played on Monday, November 17, at 19:45 UK Time.
Form of both teams
The German team has shown solid form in the qualifiers, dominating Luxembourg and Northern Ireland with convincing victories and strong play in both attack and defense. The only serious blow to their campaign remains the loss to Slovakia on September 4, 2025. That is why the upcoming match against the Slovaks will have an additional charge. The German team will be looking for a revenge, motivated to prove that the defeat was accidental, and to strengthen their leadership ambitions in the group and secure a direct place at the 2026 World Cup.
Slovakia head the match as tied with the Bundesteam - both teams have 12 points in Group A and everything will be decided in this match. The Slovaks will certainly regret the 0:2 loss to Northern Ireland in Belfast on October 10. This was their only weak performance in the qualifiers. They took revenge against this opponent, defeating them 1:0 at home a few days ago. But can Slovakia withstand Germany's class and fight for first place in the group?
Prediction for Germany - Slovakia
Germany enters the match as a favorite on their home field, supported by a series of convincing victories and strong form in attack. Despite the loss in Slovakia, the Germans are showing high performance and an aggressive style, especially at home. However, Slovakia is also performing steadily - with several good victories and organization in defense, managing to punish the mistakes of their opponents. They have already proven that they can make it difficult for Germany. A dynamic match with a high tempo is expected, in which both teams will be looking for goals - the hosts for a rematch, and the Slovaks for confirmation of their ambitions.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
