Spain vs Germany Prediction Euro 2024
⚽ Football EURO 2024 Match Preview
⏰ 5 July 2024 - 17:00 GMT +1
🏟 Stadium: MHPArena (Stuttgart)
Spain and Germany, the two most successful nations in UEFA European Championships history, are set to clash in the quarter-finals. This marks their first encounter in the knockout stages of a major tournament since the 2010 World Cup semi-finals. Spain has dominated recent matchups, including a 1-0 victory in that semi-final and a 6-0 thrashing in the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League.
Spain enters this high-stakes match as slight favorites, despite playing on German soil. They've impressed with four consecutive wins in the tournament so far. Their 4-1 comeback victory against Georgia in the Round of 16 demonstrated their resilience as they aim to match their semi-final appearance from Euro 2020.
Germany avoided a repeat of their previous Round of 16 exit by defeating Denmark 2-0 in a dramatic match marred by VAR controversy and weather interruptions. Coach Julian Nagelsmann's tactical changes paid off, resulting in what he called "the best 20 minutes of the tournament."
With an eight-match unbeaten streak (6 wins, 2 draws), Germany is rekindling hopes of ending their 28-year European Championship title drought. However, they haven't reached a major tournament semi-final in eight years, and their recent record against Spain (3 draws, 1 loss in the last 4 meetings) may not inspire confidence.

💡Prediction: This quarter-final clash promises to be a tactical masterclass between two footballing giants. Spain's recent dominance over Germany and their perfect record in the tournament give them a slight edge. However, Germany's home advantage and resurgent form under Nagelsmann cannot be underestimated. Expect a tightly contested match with moments of brilliance from both sides. Spain's midfield control, led by Fabián Ruiz, may prove crucial, but Germany's young talent like Musiala could provide the spark for an upset. The game could go either way, potentially ending in a draw after 90 minutes and being decided in extra time or penalties.
