Spain have the chance to beat Germany on home soil when the two sides face off on Friday evening in the first quarter-final clash of EURO 2024.
The Spanish booked their place in the quarter-finals after making light work of Georgia, beating the newcomers 4-1 on Sunday night in the last 16.
The form team of EURO 2024, Spain are the only side to have qualified for the knockout stage with a perfect record.
Meanwhile, Germany secured their passage to the last eight with a 2-0 win over Denmark on Saturday night in Dortmund.
Although the hosts are also unbeaten in the tournament, their 1-1 draw with Switzerland in Matchday 3 smudged what could have been a perfect record.
Ruthless in typical German fashion, Julian Nagelsmann’s side has scored 10 goals and conceded only twice. However, Spain will be their sternest test yet.
With several key players returning to the starting lineup against Georgia after being rested for Spain’s final group match, Luis de la Fuente is expected to field a full-strength side.
Nacho Fernandez and Ayoze Perez, who were unused subs against Georgia, could feature after recovering from injury.
Meanwhile, Germany’s Jonathan Tah returns to partner in central defence with Antonio Rudiger after serving a one-match ban.
Spain and Germany have so far played the most fluid attacking football of the tournament. Online bookmakers are offering -131.58 for both teams to score, just as they have in three of their last four meetings.
Jamal Musiala has been on fine goalscoring form, netting three times in four EURO 2024 appearances. Level with Georgia’s Georges Mikautadze, Slovakia’s Ivan Schranz and the Netherlands’ Cody Gakpo in the race for the Golden Boot, the top soccer betting sites are offering +375 for Musiala in the anytime goalscorer market.
Despite Germany’s ruthlessness and added home advantage, it is hard to look past Spain in the form they’re in. Back them for the win at +178 with Nags.bet.
