Germany will panzer through this group and advance with 9 points, Poland should hold off in theory both Ukraine and Northern Ireland to claim the second spot.
Northern Ireland have more chances than Ukraine to finish 3rd, but this group will not send a team to the KO stages.

Expect some goalless draws and red cards.
