Northern Ireland vs Germany: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Mon, 13 Oct '25)

Ah, the World Cup qualifiers—a stage more dramatic than a soap opera, complete with international accents. On Monday, the 13th of October, '25, as the clock ticks to game time, Northern Ireland and Germany will add another chapter to their football novel at the Mon Stadium of Whomping Goals and Wild Passes.

Let's talk head-to-head showdowns that could rival sibling rivalries. Spoiler alert! Northern Ireland has been on the losing end in their last three encounters, as the Germans have collected wins like they’re Pokémon cards. The most recent clash on Sunday, September 7th, ended in a 3-1 victory for the Germans, ensuring that the leprechauns had a swift one-way trip back to Northern Ireland.

Who's smoking hot or stone cold? Recently, it seems Northern Ireland accidentally swapped their playbook with a comedy script, losing 1-3. Germany, on the other hand, hit all the right notes with their 3-1 victory symphony over Northern Ireland. When playing their home tunes, Northern Ireland dance in second position, while Germany is having a serious third-place standing with their disciplined footwork.

Eyeing the stars of our show likely to steal it, C. Washington is Northern Ireland's hitman with 2 goals. Germany's L. Goretzka, with his magical feet, has handed out 6 assists as if they were muffins on a Sunday morning. The player ratings sing an interesting tune—a veritable march of the Penguins of Podium: for Northern Ireland's shining knights, Bailey Peacock-Farrell averages 7.23, Paddy McNair 7.18, and Craig Cathcart 7.14.

Meanwhile, in the German lineup circus, Thomas Müller struts a dazzling 8.18, Jonathan Tah isn’t far behind at 8.1, and Joshua Kimmich rounds out the trio with 7.73. Oh dear, if only circus acts earned points, right? Will Northern Ireland play the possession game better than office workers at 5 p.m. on a Friday? With an average possession of 44.375%, Germany's whopping 75.6% makes them the hoarders of the match possession world.

If considering joining the elite club of armchair referees, bear in mind Northern Ireland and Germany's corner figures dance at 4.88 and 7.2 on average, respectively. Oh, and let’s not gloss over the rainbow cards of caution, Northern Ireland has racked a vibrant 17 yellows plus 1 red card, matching Germany's crisp 12 yellows and equally singular red.

With all this best-foot-forward stats riding on a whirlwind of history, flicking through stats as if they were pages of a novel, I reckon Germany might take Ireland on a wild goose chase. Here's the light-hearted twist; they’ll most likely seize the win, leaving Germany with yet another victory story to add to their collection. Bookies might even call it: Germany 4, English wit 1!
