Teams Status

Portugal

Portugal are coming off a brilliant win over their arch rivals Hungary by a 3-0 margin. They were kept away from the back of the net for nearly 84 minutes, that’s when Raphael Guerreiro broke the deadlock to net the first goal for them courtesy of a deflection. Then Cristiano Ronaldo doubled their advantage from the spot. They wrapped it with a perfect team goal scored by Ronaldo. Portugal dominated most of the match but couldn’t score until the 84th minute. In the qualifiers, they finished in the second position in the group topped by Ukraine. They had won five matches, drew two and lost just one match in the eight matches that they played, accumulating 17 points in the process. Ronaldo has started doing what he really does well, that is scoring goals and more is expected by him in this campaign

Germany

Germany are coming off a 1-0 loss to the world champions France. They had a good start to the match but conceded a goal in the first half and couldn’t get a goal in return. Germany enjoyed the bulk of the possession with 62% and had taken ten shots but managed just one on target. The Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos was the best player for the Germans on the field. They will be looking to bounce back into this tournament when they play Portugal. They finished at the top of their respective group which was easier compared to France. They played eight matches and won seven while losing just one match. Joachim Low might consider some changes in the offense as they lacked finishing in the opening match.

Tipster’s Angle

An exciting high scoring thriller is on the cards when these two teams go head to head in Munich. By considering the recent form, Portugal have a better chance of winning it.

Tip: Portugal To Win or Draw @ 1.65

In the last five head to head matches, Germany has won four and Portugal has just won one match. But Portugal’s recent form is exceptional as they have just one loss under their belts in the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. They are unbeaten in their last five matches that they have played on the road. Germany on the other hand have just won five matches, drew two and lost as many as three matches in their last ten matches. In the last five home matches, Germany have won two, drawn one and lost two matches. Portugal are in way better form than the Germans, so, it is very likely that they will at least salvage a draw at 1.65 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 2.12

In the last five head to head matches, a total of 17 goals were scored at an average of over three goals per match. And over 2.5 goals were scored in four of those five matches. Portugal have seen over 2.5 goals in seven of the last ten matches that they played across competitions. Germany on the other hand have seen over 2.5 goals in seven of the last 11 matches that they have played across competitions. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in four of the last six matches that Germany has played at home. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in four of the last five away matches that Portugal had played.
