Germany vs Portugal preview
We’re back at the Allianz Arena just days after hosting Saturday’s Champions League final – and now it’s the turn of international football to take centre stage.
European giants Germany and Portugal go head-to-head in Munich on Wednesday night, with a coveted place in the UEFA Nations League final up for grabs. The winners will meet either Spain or France in Sunday’s showpiece.
It marks a milestone for Germany, who are featuring in the Nations League finals for the first time. Julian Nagelsmann’s side will be confident of progressing, buoyed by home advantage and a terrific recent record against their Portuguese rivals.
Germany have won each of the last five meetings between the two sides, a run that stretches back to the 2006 World Cup. That includes a memorable 4-2 victory at Euro 2020, the last time they faced off.
The hosts arrive in fine form, having brushed aside Italy to reach the semi-finals and racked up five wins from their last eight matches – scoring an impressive 23 goals along the way.
At home, they’ve been formidable, losing just once in their last 11 outings, and that was a narrow defeat to eventual Euro 2024 winners Spain.
However, Germany will be without several key players for this clash, with Antonio Rudiger, Nico Schlotterbeck, Kai Havertz, Tim Kleindienst and Jamal Musiala all ruled out.
Portugal, meanwhile, will once again be led by Cristiano Ronaldo as they aim to become the first nation to win the Nations League twice.
But it’s been a stuttering period under Roberto Martínez.
They needed extra time to get past Denmark in the playoff round and produced an underwhelming showing at Euro 2024.
With pressure mounting, speculation is growing that Jose Mourinho could be lined up to replace Martínez if results don’t improve swiftly.

Germany vs Portugal preview betting tips and predictions
Woltzing through
Nick Woltemade is a name worth remembering.
The 23-year-old forward has just wrapped up a breakout season in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart, scoring 17 goals and providing three assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.
His form hasn’t gone unnoticed. After dazzling for Germany’s U21s – including a perfect hat-trick against Spain earlier this year – Woltemade has now earned his first senior call-up.
It’s a well-deserved reward for one of German football’s most exciting attacking prospects, and he could make an immediate impact against a vulnerable Portugal defence that has managed just one clean sheet in their last eight Nations League outings.

Assist
Liverpool fans will have their eyes firmly fixed on Wednesday’s semi-final – and not just for the spectacle.
Top target Florian Wirtz is expected to play a key role for Germany, capping off what has been a sensational season with Bayer Leverkusen. The 22-year-old has lit up the Bundesliga and beyond, scoring 16 goals and registering 15 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions.
Wirtz has also cemented his place in Julian Nagelsmann’s plans, contributing three goals and three assists in his last six outings for the national team. He heads into the clash as the bookmakers’ favourite to register an assist — and it’s easy to see why.
