While playing at home should give Germany the home advantage and a slight edge, it might end up working in reverse as Germany will feel the address pressure after losing their opening match of Euro 2020 to France.

Portugal won their first game against Hungary 3-0 and now sits at the top of the points table of Group F. France are in second place and Germany are currently in third place knowing that it is very important for them to win against Portugal.

German Football

Germany has a talented bunch of players and are amongst the top five teams who are expected to win Euro 2020. They go in as betting favorites with odds of Germany 5/4 while Portugal are the underdogs with odds of 23/10. The odds of this game ending in a draw are currently at 11/5.

Germany played well against France but a freak own goal from Matt Hummels gave France the win. Head coach Joachim Löw said that he wants his side to be a lot more aggressive up front in the game against Portugal as he realizes that Germany has to go for the win and cannot afford to lock up and play a defensive game.

Their biggest threat will be from Portugal’s captain and superstar Cristiano Ronaldo who scored twice against Hungary. However, Ronaldo has never scored a goal at international level against Germany when Manuel Neuer was the goalkeeper.

The German captain has over 100 caps for his country and will be determined to keep that record going and keep Ronaldo from scoring.

Joachim Löw’s strategy to get Germany to play more offensively could turn out to be a match winning strategy or really come back to haunt him. If Germany focuses heavily on attack, it could open up the mid-field and allow Portugal more opportunities to create chances and give the ball to Ronaldo.

Portugal are likely to stick with the same squad that won against Hungary and Ronaldo will be looking to add to his goal tally in Euro 2020.

We think Portugal could end up surprising Germany and winning 1-0.
