The UEFA Nations League has reached the semifinal stage, featuring a highly anticipated match between Portugal and Germany at the Allianz Arena on Sunday, June 8.
Germany, led by Julian Nagelsmann, has shown impressive form, remaining unbeaten in their last eight games after their Euro exit against Spain. A win against Portugal would signal a return to prominence and enhance their World Cup credentials.
Portugal, however, comes into this fixture after a remarkable 5-2 victory over Denmark but has shown vulnerabilities by conceding goals in four of their last five matches, making Germany optimistic about finding the back of the net.
Kickoff has been delayed 10 minutes due to hail at the Allianz Arena.

Last Meeting
The last encounter between Germany and Portugal took place in the Euros 2021, concluding with a 4-2 victory for Germany, illustrating Portugal’s defensive frailties.

Florian Wirtz to have 2+ shots on target (+290): As Germany focuses on maximizing their offense, Wirtz is expected to contribute significantly against a shaky Portuguese defence.

Portugal: Diogo Costa, Nuno Mendes, Goncalo Inacio, Ruben Dias, Diogo Dalot, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Rafael Leao, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Cristiano Ronaldo
Player to Watch
Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal: Facing questions about his place in the starting lineup, Ronaldo remains a key figure, having scored four goals in five appearances. Stopping him could be pivotal for Germany’s success.
