GERMANY have already booked their place at next year's World Cup and they should make light work of Liechtenstein in their penultimate Group J fixture at the Volkswagen Arena on Thursday night.
Die Mannschaft became the first team to qualify for next winter's showpiece by dishing out a 4-0 mauling to North Macedonia last month to secure top spot in the section with two games to spare.
That triumph at the Toše Proeski National Arena means that new boss Hans Flick has won each of his five matches in the national hotseat since replacing Joachim Löw at the helm in September.
The Germans lead the group with 21 points from eight games, eight points ahead of second-placed Romania, and they should add to that tally when lowly Liechtenstein come calling.
Martin Stocklasa's minnows are propping up the pool having lost seven of their opening eight qualifiers, with their only point coming against Armenia in September.
The Blues-Reds were brushed aside 4-0 by Iceland month and another long night could be in store in northern Germany on Thursday night.
Outright Betting
Unsurprisingly, Germany have won each of the previous meetings and the hosts are heavily fancied here at 1/41 with SBK.
Liechtenstein are rank outsiders at 200/1 with Betfair while a point apiece is also deemed improbable at 47/1 with SBK.
Betting Angles
This fixture is a massive international mismatch and it's therefore a case of having to get creative to eke out a decent price on a Germany win.
I'll therefore head to the Bet Builder market and combine Germany half time/full time, under seven match goals and under one Liechtenstein goal, a backable 20/21 shot with Bet 365.
As already alluded to, Germany have booked their place in Qatar next year and boss Hansi Flick may look to utilise his squad against international lesser lights Liechtenstein.
The German chief could be without as many as eight players who were originally selected, so Flick will most likely use this final batch of qualifiers to give his fringe players a chance to shine.
The Germans ran out comfortable 2-0 winners in the reverse fixture and whilst a more comfortable win is anticipated in Wolfsburg on Thursday night, I'm happy to back a home win in a match that features fewer than seven match goals.
Germany haven't scored more than six goals during this qualification campaign, with all but one of their seven Group J triumphs to date going under the 5.5 goal barrier.
Backing the hosts to be leading at half time and full time whilst keeping a clean sheet looks like a worthy boost in price to round off the Bet Builder – a combnation that clicked during September's meeting between the pair in St. Gallen.
With all that in mind, coupled with the dynamics of Group D, the above-mentioned Bet Builder looks like a nice way in at 20/21 (Bet 365) in what should be a routine stroll to victory for Die Mannschaft.
This World Cup match between Germany and Liechtenstein will be played on Nov 11, 2021 and kick off at 19:45. Check below for our tipsters best Germany vs Liechtenstein prediction. You may also visit our dedicated betting previews section for the most up to date previews.
