Joachim Low: Germany will raise game for run-in

Germany coach Joachim Low says the world champions will bounce back after suffering a bit of a slump after winning the World Cup.

Defeats in September to Poland and Scotland in their next two Euro 2016 qualifiers would seriously compromise their hopes of qualifying for the European Championship next summer, but Low says there will not be a repeat of their post-World Cup travails.

Germany trail Poland by a point at the top of qualifying Group D while Scotland are just two points behind in third. The Republic of Ireland are also still in contention, four points adrift of Low’s men.
