----------------------------------------
Germany will host Portugal at Allianz Arena for a UEFA Nations League semi-final match. This marks Germany's first time reaching the finals, while Portugal aims to become the first team to win the tournament twice by defeating the home side.
Team Analysis:
Germany and Portugal are meeting for the first time in the Nations League, with Germany hosting the finals on their debut at this stage. Germany enters the semi-final in strong form, having lost only once at home recently, and showing promise after a solid group stage performance. Despite a shaky moment against Italy, they remain favorites to win on home soil and have a strong winning record against Portugal in major tournaments.
Portugal, the 2019 champions, face pressure after a disappointing Euro 2024 but managed to advance to the semi-finals with a dramatic win over Denmark. Many key players from their 2019 success remain, and they aim to build momentum ahead of World Cup qualifying. Portugal showed improvement in the Nations League groups, remaining unbeaten after a poor Euro showing.
Player Situation:
Marc-Andre ter Stegen returns from injury to start as Germany’s goalkeeper, while captain Joshua Kimmich is set to make his 100th appearance after strong recent form. Several key German players remain sidelined due to injuries.
For Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to earn his 220th cap despite never having beaten Germany. Bernardo Silva recently reached 100 caps and could be joined by PSG teammates Joao Neves and Vitinha in midfield. Rodrigo Mora replaces the only absent player from the Denmark match.
Result Prediction:
Both teams feature the top scorers of the Nations League 2024-25, promising an exciting and high-scoring match. While Portugal has a stronger overall lineup, doubts remain about their coach’s choices, especially starting Ronaldo. Playing away in Germany could make it tough for Portugal to secure a win.
Predicted Result: Germany 3-2 Portugal.
