Germany vs Portugal Preview and Team News
Germany Team News
Germany put a lot of focus on their defensive duties, and this makes them one of the most organised sides in Europe. They have conceded just five goals in as many matches, and kept a clean sheet in two of them.
Despite rueing the absence of Nico Schlotterbeck due to an injury, head coach Julian Nagelsmann knows that he has enough players on the bench who can step up and deliver when the need arises.

However, the likes of Amiri, Bisseck, Havertz, Henrichs, Kleindienst, Musiala, Rüdiger and Stiller will sorely be missed.
Nagelsmann, 37, is one of the best young coaches in the world, and is known for his unusual 3-4-2-1 formation in which the central midfielders play a pivotal role in shaping up behind the central defenders. Nagelsmann’s tactics are famous for being quirky but effective, and Germany’s supporters will hope that he takes them to the final.
Germany predicted lineup vs Portugal (3-4-2-1): Ter Stegen; Tah, Koch, Raum; Kimmich, Goretzka, Gross, Adeyemi; Wirtz, Sané; Füllkrug.
Portugal Team News
Having won their last game against Denmark by a whopping 5-2 scoreline, Portugal will aim for another win against Germany.
However, it will not be an easy task given how challenging the home team’s defensive unit can prove to be, and it will take a lot from the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo to create chances. Portugal coach Roberto Martinez plays with a 4-3-3 formation, with Ronaldo often operating up top.

Portugal have been unbeaten in four out of their last five matches, having lost just once, in the first leg of their quarterfinal against Denmark (0-1). Of course, they came back from that defeat in spectacular fashion to win the second leg 5-2 and book their berth in this game.
Portugal’s passing game is widely renowned, and the same will be on display here against Germany. If Portugal are able to get in behind the home team’s defenders, they will be able to run amok. João Cancelo may not be available for selection in this game due to an injury.
Portugal predicted lineup vs Germany (4-3-3): Diogo Costa; Dalot, Dias, Gonçalo Inácio, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Fernandes, Neves; Silva, Ronaldo, Leão.
Germany vs Portugal Prediction
- Pick: Germany to qualify
- Odds: -238 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Germany 2-1 Portugal
Germany are expected to either win or draw. Ultimately, we expect Germany to qualify for the final.
They have won the last four matches they have played against Portugal, and this will stir them to great creativity. Nagelsmann has shown how ruthless his team can be with their calculated win over Italy in the quarterfinal (2-1 and 3-3).
Portugal often run the risk of losing their defensive shape when they push ahead to create chances in the attacking third, and this is the moment Germany will look to attack the most.
Germany vs Portugal Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total goals over 2.5
- Odds: -130 (20Bet)
We expect to see a total of over 2.5 goals scored in this game. While Germany have seen a total of over 2.5 goals in three out of their last four matches, Portugal have experienced it twice in their last four outings.
João Cancelo’s absence at right-back in the Portuguese defence may make it easier for the German attackers to use the flanks all the more and exploit the visiting side’s weaknesses. Diogo Dalot is expected to slot in for Cancelo in this game, and he will have massive boots to fill.
For Portugal, Ronaldo and Fernandes will be the main men to watch out for, whereas for Germany, Musiala and Sane will have to be closely marked. Most importantly, three out of the last four matches between these teams have seen a total of over 2.5 goals.
