The EURO 2024 quarter-final action is set to begin today, with two exciting matches on the schedule. First up, Spain will take on hosts Germany in Stuttgart, followed by Portugal facing off against France in Hamburg.
The highly anticipated match between Spain and Germany promises to be a thrilling battle of talent and skill. Nico Williams has been a standout performer for Spain and will be a player to watch as he goes up against Joshua Kimmich. Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back from a below-par performance in Portugal’s last game against Slovenia.
As both teams gear up for their showdown, it’s worth noting that this is the fourth meeting between Spain and Germany at the Euros, with their last encounter being in the 2008 final. This adds to the stakes of the game even further. Furthermore, no host nation has ever been eliminated in the quarter-final stage of the European Championship before now, making it an interesting factor to keep an eye on.
In terms of statistics, France has a strong record against Portugal, having lost only one of their last 14 matches against them. With this in mind, predictions for today’s games are Spain 1-2 Germany and Portugal 0-1 France.
