After two below-par results in the last Week of Football – a 2-0 loss away to Poland and a 1-1 home draw with the Republic of Ireland – Germany will be hoping to use the visit of Gibraltar to get their UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying Group D campaign back on track.
Match background
• Gibraltar have failed to score in any of their three European Qualifiers encounters so far.
• This will be the first meeting between sides from Germany and Gibraltar in any UEFA competition – men's, women's or futsal.
• Germany have won their last three games at Nuremberg's Frankenstadion – scoring 12 goals in the process – since a 3-2 defeat to Brazil in the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup semi-final.
