Germany

The national team has won four of their last six matches, though inconsistency remains a concern. A 7-1 demolition of Curaçao and a 4-0 victory over Finland sit alongside defeats to Ecuador and a draw with Paraguay, suggesting vulnerability against organised opposition.

Recent Form

Germany opened this sequence with a 1-1 draw against Paraguay before suffering a 2-1 loss in Ecuador. They recovered to beat Ivory Coast 2-1, then produced their most convincing performance to thrash Curaçao 7-1. Finland fell 4-0 at their hands, and Ghana were beaten 2-1 in the most recent outing.

The pattern is clear: Germany can overwhelm weaker sides but have shown they can be caught out. The Ecuador result was particularly telling - a defeat on the road that raises questions about defensive solidity and consistency in possession. The Paraguay stalemate suggests further problems converting chances and maintaining control when opponents sit deep.

The wins over Ivory Coast and Ghana, both by single goals, indicate they can grind out results against decent teams, though neither was convincing. The gulf between their performance against Curaçao and Finland compared to Ecuador hints at a squad that struggles to maintain intensity and focus across all fixtures. That inconsistency will need addressing if they face higher-ranked opposition in competitive matches.
