The four-time world champion had everything under control in Bucharest from the very beginning and gained plenty of opportunities. One of them used Gnabry after a quarter of an hour to earn 1:0 for Germany (16th). Three minutes later Kimmich hammered the ball to the bar (19th). The eagle bearers let the ball run well, the only shortcoming was the opportunity utilisation. After the change of sides, the odds went on – Goretzka (50th), Gnabry (58th), Gündogan (60th) and Sane (63rd) gave the reassuring 2-0. With 67 percent possession of the ball, the team of Federal Coach Joachim Löw had everything under control in the second period of the game. Nevertheless, the exploitation of opportunities almost took revenge. In the final phase, the Tricolorii had two really good opportunities for equalization, which Puscas (87th) and Stanciu (90th) left behind.
After the victories against Iceland (3-0) and Romania, the Löw-Elf took the full six points to start the World Cup qualifying for next year’s final round in Qatar. After the last World Championship 2018 in Russia, things are expected to improve in 2022. About three years ago, after defeats against Mexico and South Korea, Germany flew out after the group phase. The victory over Sweden did nothing.
At the European Championships in just a few months, the DFB team in Group F will meet World Champion France and European Champion Portugal as well as Hungary. At THE EURO 2016 in France, the triple European Championship winner came to the semi-finals and failed the host there.
For the third qualifying game within seven days, Löw is considering personnel changes. So some regular players will probably get a break against Northern Macedonia and the starting eleven will be thrown through neatly.

Igor Angelovski’s national team (in office since 2015) returned impressively after a 2-3 defeat in Romania and beat home Liechtenstein clearly 5-0 last Sunday. The early lead for “The Red Lions” by Bardhi in the 7th minute was conducive to the edge victory. Although no more hits were scored in the first round, the mail went off correctly after the break. A double strike from Traijkovski to 3-0 within three minutes (51st, 54th) set the course for victory. At the latest with the 4-0 from Elmas after just over an hour the final decision was made (62.). Nestorovski scored 5:0 in the final period (82nd).
On 19 February 2019, the name change from EYR (former Yugoslav Republic) Macedonia to North Macedonia entered into force. For the first time, the country will participate in a European Championship this year and will meet Austria, Ukraine and Holland in Group C. In the European Championship playoffs, they prevailed against Kosovo (2:1) and Georgia (1:0) and solved the European Championship ticket. North Macedonia has never participated in a World Cup round and was part of Yugoslavia from 1930 to 1990.
In the Nations League „The Red Lions“ play in League C and missed last year’s promotion as a group second (9 points) behind Armenia (11). On the last day of the game, Armenia had a 0-1 bankruptcy. It was the only defeat during the group phase.
The North Macedonian national team has to renounce central defender Gjoko Zajkov because of a corona disease.
With playmaker Eljif Elmas from the Italian series A Club SSC Naples, North Macedonia has a real star who already accounts for around 40% of the total squad value. Otherwise, the team is classified as second-class in an international comparison.

Germany is a clear favourite against North Macedonia for the third victory in the third World Cup qualifying game. The DFB team is better staffed in every position and also enjoys a home advantage. To do this, the lion-men started off well in the qualifying and were also expected to win significantly under normal daily form. The Red Lions showed morale as an underdog in Romania after 0-2 behind and equalized in the meantime, even if they still lost in the end. Against Liechtenstein there was a 5-0 edge victory and thus a good reaction. Nevertheless, we predict a high victory for Germany with at least two goals difference. So we recommend for this tip forecast also handicap bets on Germany wins with HC (-1). The Sportsbook Tip wins if the DFB team wins with at least 2 goals difference. The odds for this bet are around 1.35 on average.
