How are both teams coming into this?
Germany have been formidable in this campaign, remaining unbeaten with four wins and two draws. Their 18–4 goal difference highlights the blend of attacking flair and defensive solidity under Julian Nagelsmann. At the Allianz Arena, Die Mannschaft have been particularly ruthless, winning all three home games so far.
Portugal, managed by Roberto Martínez, share the same point tally but boast a slightly lower 13–5 goal difference. On their travels they have registered one win and two draws, showing they can grind out results even in hostile environments. Their dynamic, attack-minded style and depth of talent make them a constant threat.
Our forecast
We give the nod to Germany to win on home soil, backed by their perfect Allianz Arena record and historical head-to-head dominance over Portugal. The hosts’ dynamic high-press system should help them control the midfield and create plenty of scoring opportunities.
However, we also expect goals at both ends. Portugal’s firepower means both teams to score looks a solid secondary play, with each side averaging over two goals per game in this tournament. Combining a Germany win with BTTS could offer enhanced value for punters seeking an entertaining contest.
