Spain vs Germany Prediction & Match Preview

Spain vs Germany Prediction

Spain and Germany will come across each other in a blockbuster 2024 Euro quarter-final on Friday afternoon at Stuttgart Arena.

The Germans managed their maiden knockout-phase win in eight years at major competitions. Spain got off to their best start to European Championship since 2008 when they went on to win the whole thing.

• Spain have won all four games at the Euro.
• Germany looked vulnerable in the previous two matches.
• Both teams were on target in three of the last four head-to-head affairs between Spain and Germany.
• La Furia Roja enter this on the back of a demolishing 4-1 victory over Georgia in the round of 16.

Germany were struggling to break the deadlock against the Danes in the round of 16. They got lucky to see Joachim Andersen’s second-half goal getting ruled out for a marginal offside call just minutes before the same player conceded a penalty.

Kai Havertz made no mistake from the spot while Jamal Musiala doubled Germany’s lead soon to take the game into safe waters for the hosts. Bayern Munich’s midfielder is now the competition’s joint-top scorer with three goals to his name.

Spain got off to a wrong-footed start in their round of 16 affair with Georgia. Nevertheless, Luis de la Fuente’s men bounced back in style after conceding the opening goal.

La Roja responded with four goals in Georgian net. Rodri, Fabian Ruiz, Nico Williams, and Dani Olmo were on target for mighty Spaniards on Sunday evening.

Spain Team News

Luis de la Fuente brought his starting lineup back in the first knockout game after resting his key players in the group-stage match against Albania.

Based on the performance on Sunday, we have all the reasons to expect the identical starting XI to face Germany on Friday.

Spain Predicted Lineup (4-3-3 Formation)

Simon – Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella – Pedri, Rodri, Ruiz – Yamal, Morata, Williams.

Germany Team News

As for the hosts, Julian Nagelsmann has the option of returning Jonathan Tah to the team. Bayer Leverkusen’s centre-back served his suspension in the round of 16.

His replacement Nico Schlotterbeck provided a great display but we still expect to see Tah straight back into the squad.

Elsewhere, David Raum did enough to keep his place at the left-back in favour of Max Mittelstadt while Florian Wirtz should regain his place on the wing ahead of Leroy Sane.

Germany Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1 Formation)

Neuer – Kimmich, Rudiger, Tah, Raum – Andrich, Kroos, Wirtz, Gundogan, Musiala – Havertz.

Spain versus Germany has goals in it

Both Spain and Germany have shown impressive attacking potential so far in the tournament.

Spain have bagged three or more goals in two of four games at the Euro, creating numerous chances for goals in the remaining two outings as well. Meanwhile, Germany notched ten goals in their inaugural four fixtures at the Euro, including five in the opening round’s drubbing of ten-man Scotland.

Both teams scored in three of Germany’s last five outings across competitions, while the same scenario occurred in Spain’s victory over Georgia in the round of 16. Last but not least, both teams were on target in all but one of the previous four H2H clashes between these heavyweights.

You can back goals at both ends at the odds of 1.72 as the best betting pick for the first quarter-final.

Spain look unstoppable

Spain are the only team with a perfect record so far in the tournament. La Furia Roja have won all four outings at the 2024 Euro. They have done it in some style, showcasing an amazing attacking-minded football under Luis de la Fuente.

Germany have also been quite impressive throughout the competition but they’ve shown some flaws in their game of late. They barely avoided a defeat in the last game of the group stage against Switzerland and got lucky to avoid potential complications in the last-16 round tie with Denmark.

We see the value in backing Spain to win at the attractive 2.62 odds.
