But as pie-charts go, this one is frighteningly tart.
Ireland know that they face a massive massive test tonight against Germany, but this stat just shows how huge a mountain they have to climb to get any sort of result.
Sometimes it helps to have a visual representation of how ruddy difficult it is going to be for Martin O’Neill’s side to get a point against the likes of Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze.
Germany have a frankly incredible away record with a stunning 29 wins out of their last 37 competitive away games.

Still, the Irish can take some inspiration in knowing that the German’s sole loss came against their Group D colleagues Poland around this time last year.
