Germany vs Portugal Prediction and Betting Tip - Odds, H2H and Preview Predictions

Germany vs Portugal Preview

As the regular season at club level comes to an end (for most around the globe, anyway), international football has reared it's head to provide us with some minor viewing salvation, just before we are plunged back into a summer of transfers and waiting for the action to re-commence.

It's the UEFA Nations League we will be looking at today, as Germany look to take on inaugral winners Portugal.

Key Stats

• While this is Germany's first time in the Nations League Final Four, Portugal are back at this stage for the first time since winning the inaugural competition in 2018/19
• Germany's win in Euro 2020, the last time these two met, was their fifth victory on the bounce against Portugal, a record that dates back to 2006
• Germany are struggling with injuries, halting them from several high-profile call-ups
• Joshua Kimmich is in line to receive his 100th cap for the German national team, becoming the 14th German to do so

Germany Preview

Predicted Starting Lineup: ter Stegen, Kimmich, Tah, Anton, Mittelstadt, Gross, Goretzka, Sane, Adeyemi, Wirtz, Undav

After suffering hometown heartbreak in their hosting role of Euro 2024, Germany will be hoping that they can spur on in this international stage, though it's significance may not capture attention the same as the other trophies on offer.

They are the favourites going into this clash, with their high-profile squad favoured to make the difference against Portugal. However, a Ronaldo-led Portugal would love nothing more than to reclaim the title that they were the first-ever winners of, so Die Mannschaft will have to keep steadfast to sign their seasons off with a win.

In terms of medical news, Germany are struggling big time. Jonathan Burkardt, the top German scorer in the Bundesliga last season with 18, dropped out of the squad with an injury, as has young defender Yann-Aurel Bisseck, who was injured for Inter in their heavy Champions League final defeat to PSG.

Nadiem Amiri also dropped out of the squad over the last days, complaining of an issue in the side of his body that has seen him withdraw from duty.

Predicted Starting Lineup: Costa, Dalot, A.Silva, Dias, Mendes, Neves, Vitinha, B.Silva, Fernandes, Leao, Ronaldo

It's been a successful season for some in the Portugal squad, amongst them Champions League winners and title winners galore, but they aren't the favourites for this German clash.

However, at our own cost, we have written Portugal off before, and their fighting spirit, synonymous with one Cristiano Ronaldo, has seen them win the UEFA Nations League in it's inaugural campaign.

They would love to pick the trophy back up, making it to the final four for the first time since the year they won it, 2019, and will throw plenty of heat towards the cool and calculated Germany.

In terms of fitness, Portugal have had no issues going up to this match.

Germany vs Portugal Prediction

Portugal will have plenty of fight within them, and their defence is one of their stronger points, but all signs point toward a clean and calculaed German success. We are going for a 2-0 win for them.
