Sunday’s football tips: Wirtz assist appeals at 7/4 as hurting Germany look to bounce back

Germany slumped to a shock loss in their World Cup qualifying opener and will be looking to make amends when they host Northern Ireland tonight.

That 2-0 loss in Slovakia on Thursday night was the first defeat Germany have ever suffered away from home in World Cup qualifying and only the fourth overall in their history.

On the same night, Northern Ireland were winning 3-1 in Luxembourg to get their campaign off to a flier but they will be wary of a German backlash tonight.

Germany vs Northern Ireland top betting tips

The bookies can't see Julian Nagelsmann's side slipping up again as BoyleSports make the Germans 1/7 hot favourites, with Northern Ireland 25/1 outsiders.

Michael O'Neill will probably set up to frustrate so how this game pans out will depend on whether Germany are able to make an early breakthrough or not.

The creativity of Florian Wirtz will be key to breaking down Northern Ireland and Nagelsmann will be looking for the Liverpool star to conjure up some magic.

He's just 20/23 at BoyleSports for anytime scorer but an assist offers more value at 7/4 with Bet365.

The fouls market could be profitable and a double on Ali McCann and Conor Bradley each committing over 1.5 fouls pays 12/5.

Turkey vs Spain

The best game to watch tonight in World Cup qualifying should come in Istanbul as Turkey bid to shock European champions Spain.

Both teams got off to good starts in Group E, with the Turks winning 3-2 in Georgia and Spain easing to a 3-0 victory on the road in Bulgaria.

There's a wealth of attacking talent on display so it bodes well for goals and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays evens at BoyleSports.

Turkey's clash with Georgia was stormy, with seven yellows and a red flashed, so the card count could rack up here too.

Left-back Evren Elmani will have the daunting task of keeping Lamine Yamal quiet so he looks decent value at 14/5 with BoyleSports to go into the book.

Lithiania vs Netherlands

The Netherlands lost their perfect record in Group G on Thursday as Poland came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw in Rotterdam.

They're still in a good position to top the section though after winning their first two qualifiers and the Dutch should be too strong for Lithuania tonight in Kaunas.

The Lithuanians could only draw 1-1 at home to Malta on Thursday and have failed to win any of their four qualifiers so far.

They have only conceded four times across those games however, so I'm going to combine a Dutch win with under 3.5 goals at evens with BoyleSports.

Lithuanian midfielder Modestas Vorobjovas picked up a card against Malta and is a tempting 10/3 to go into the book again.
