Croatia win & over 2.5 goals looks well supported by the numbers. Montenegro may have won three of their last four competitive home games, but their qualification collapse — four straight group defeats without scoring — exposes clear limitations against top-tier opposition. Croatia, meanwhile, have been ruthless in this WCQ cycle, winning six of seven, hitting 23 goals and conceding only twice. They also travel well, unbeaten in their last seven away qualifiers and scoring eight goals in three away games this campaign. With Croatia’s attacking rhythm strong and Montenegro’s defence far less convincing than their recent home results suggest, the visitors should have enough quality to take control and push the game past the 2.5 line.

Belgrano come into this clash with a more stable recent run than the table might suggest, losing just one of their last four games and showing improved defensive resilience, especially in tight matches. Union Santa Fe sit much higher in the standings but their form has dipped noticeably, winning only two of their last six league outings and failing to score in each of their last two matches. H2H history also favours a cautious approach toward the hosts, as four of the last five meetings have ended level, including three straight 1–1 draws, highlighting how evenly matched these sides tend to be. Given Union’s inconsistency and Belgrano’s ability to grind out results, the visitors taking at least a point is a realistic and value-friendly angle.

Barracas Central look the more reliable side coming into this game, having lost just one of their last five matches and sitting higher in the table with a stronger overall points return. Their home form is particularly solid, with recent results including a win over Argentinos Juniors and draws against respectable opponents, and they’ve also avoided defeat in four of their last five H2Hs against Huracán, winning two of them. Huracán, meanwhile, are struggling badly with four losses in their last five games and just one goal scored in that period, showing clear issues in both confidence and attacking output. With Barracas more consistent, better at home, and historically competitive in this matchup, taking Barracas Central double chance (win or draw) is the pragmatic selection.

Germany come into this decisive fixture with a clear edge: four straight WCQ wins and a superior goal difference that means even a draw secures the group. Their overall home record in 2025 looks mixed on paper, but the context matters — their winless home games all came against top-ten FIFA nations. Against sides ranked outside that bracket, Germany have been consistently dominant at home for nearly two years.

Slovakia’s situation is the opposite. They must win to top the group, but their away form is a major concern, losing five of their last six trips and already slipping up on their most recent WCQ road match. Their memorable home win over Germany won’t be easily replicated in Munich, where the hosts tend to score freely and control games against mid-tier opposition. With Germany’s attacking quality and Slovakia forced to open up at some stage, the home win combined with the match going over 2.5 goals looks a strong, data-backed selection.
