The health of the German players is the only thing that will be on the line Thursday when Germany hosts Liechtenstein in a 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifying group-stage match. Germany (7-0-1) has already clinched its spot for Qatar 2022, while Liechtenstein (0-7-1) has been eliminated. The teams met in a Group J match in September, on the heels of Germany’s stunning 2-1 loss to North Macedonia, and the Germans dominated the game but only won 2-0. Liechtenstein has scored just twice in its eight matches and is minus-21 in goal differential, while Germany has 23 goals and conceded just three.
Kickoff is set for 2:45 p.m. ET at Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, Germany. Caesars Sportsbook lists Germany as the -20000 favorite (risk $20,000 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in the latest Germany vs. Liechtenstein odds, with Liechtenstein the +10000 underdog.

Why you should back Germany
The only real question heading into this match is: How many goals will the Germans win by? They have won all five games since Hansi Flick took over as manager, and he is likely to rest several key players to avoid injury. Die Mannschaft held the ball for 86 percent of the September meeting and outshot Liechtenstein 30-2, putting seven on target and allowing none. Leroy Sane and Timo Werner scored, but Werner is one of several players nursing injuries. Sane could be joined in attack by Ilkay Gundogan, while Lukas Nmecha could make his international debut on the front line.
Leon Goretzka also is likely to play a key role in midfield, with Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich possibly held out. Flick has plenty of depth, so any players he choose should be adequate to beat tiny Liechtenstein, which has a population of just 38,000. The Reds-Blues have allowed at least four goals in six of their 10 games this calendar year, while Germany has scored at least twice in seven of its past eight.
Why you should back Liechtenstein
The Reds-Blues will bunker down with a five-man defense and try to wait out the Germans. They also hope to take advantage of Germany’s indifference in this match. The Germans will be trying to stay healthy for future club and international competitions, so they won’t be flying in for any hard tackles. Germany could have some organizational issues with a strange mix of players and a relatively unfamiliar manager. The forwards, especially Nmecha, also will want to impress, and their aggressiveness could leave Die Mannschaft’s back line vulnerable to counter-attack.
Dennis Salanovic, Yanik Frick and Noah Frick are all capable strikers, and the midfield and defense have plenty of international experience. Martin Buchel, who leads the team with 89 international caps, and captain Nicolas Hasler, who has 80, will run the show in midfield along with Livio Meier.
