Germany vs Portugal Prediction & Betting Tips
Nations League Semi-Final | Wednesday, June 4 | 19:00 UTC | Allianz Arena, Munich
Germany win- 1.85
Draw- 3.70
Portugal win- 4.10
The Nations League semi-finals heat up as hosts Germany take on a confident Portugal side in Munich. While Germany chase a first-ever Nations League title on home turf, Portugal look to repeat their 2019 triumph.
Germany v Portugal Preview:
Germany come into this semi-final with several key absentees that could affect their spine. Antonio Rudiger and Nico Schlotterbeck are ruled out in defence, Jamal Musiala and Angelo Stiller are unavailable in midfield, while up top, both Kai Havertz and Tim Kleindienst miss out.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side blew a 3-0 lead against Italy in the previous round, highlighting their vulnerability without the composure of Toni Kroos, who has since retired. With limited options to partner Leon Goretzka in the engine room, Germany may struggle to control the tempo.
Germany v Portugal Preview:
Portugal arrive in strong shape and with a midfield brimming with class. PSG duo Vitinha and Joao Neves offer control and mobility, while Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva bring vision and creativity.
Roberto Martinez’s men frustrated France at Euro 2024 and took them to penalties. With Diogo Costa commanding behind a solid defensive setup, Portugal will back themselves to frustrate again and win the midfield battle.
Germany v Portugal Key Stat
Portugal have lost just 1 of their last 10 competitive matches. Germany, meanwhile, have conceded in 6 of their last 9 games.
