Meeting statistics

The current form of Spain

Spain is full of confidence going into its quarterfinal matchup against Germany, having just finished a dominant performance against Georgia. It seemed that the first half of the game would be marked by a lack of goals, yet, despite this slow start, the Spanish attack posed a persistent threat to the Georgian defense. At first, Mamardashvili’s outstanding play in goal for Georgia kept the score tied. Le Normand’s tragic own goal provided the underdogs a tiny window of hope, but in the end, Georgia was unable to stave off Spain’s constant offensive. Rodri leveled the scores before halftime with a thundering strike, proving that “La Roja“ (the “Red One“) had been persistent.

Spain’s attacking ability was on full display in the second half as it dominated Georgia. With a header from a cross by Yamal, Ruiz broke the tie and opened the door for more dominance of De la Fuente’s side. With clinical finishes, Williams and Olmo clinched the win, demonstrating Spain’s depth and ability to seize chances.

Spain’s aim is to enhance its offensive capabilities and momentum ahead of their match against Germany in Stuttgart. With important players like Rodri and Ruiz playing well and Yamal’s inventive contributions strengthening the defense, “La Roja“ hopes to build on its successful run in Euro 2024.

The current form of Germany

Preparing for its quarterfinal matchup against Spain, Germany is on a high following a spirited victory over Denmark in the round of 16.

Germany launched attacks first in the game, pressing the Scandinavians with a 10-minute blitz that forced Schmeichel to make several spectacular saves. Schlotterbeck’s tremendous header into the goal briefly changed the momentum, but VAR reversed it for a reason. A 25-minute lightning delay in the first half, possibly caused by the appearance of Thor (why not joke a bit), added to the drama.

Denmark was on the wrong end of two VAR calls in the second half. In order to end the match’s scoreless draw, Havertz took advantage of the opening opportunity and skillfully sent a penalty kick into the side netting in the 53rd minute. Musiala of Bayern Munich increased the lead in the 68th minute with a breakaway goal to complete the 2-0 victory and send the “DFB-Team” to the quarterfinals.

Nagelsmann’s team will be counting on the boost from its strong showing against Denmark as it goes ready to play Spain in Stuttgart. Germany hopes to press its claim to European dominance with important players like Havertz and Musiala in top form and a defense strengthened by Neuer’s valiant efforts.

Head-to-head

Germany has nine victories against eight losses in the head-to-head match, adding nine ties. Spain has a 2-1 advantage in the Euro title matches, including the 2008 duel. With three titles apiece, Germany and Spain are the most successful teams in the history of the European Championship.

Match analytics

Given that Germany and Spain are perhaps the two best teams still competing at Euro 2024, it’s quite difficult to predict the outcome of this match. Germany will undoubtedly benefit from having a home advantage in every match of the knockout stages, but it will be up against a team that many currently believe will win the championship.

The majority will bet on the draw because this game might go either way. But we thought Spain might have the advantage over the host nation in the last third, which would guarantee it a spot in the semifinals.

With Germany’s early intensity and Spain’s excellent second-half performances, it could be wise to wager on a tie at halftime and then on Spain to win. Halftime/Full Time – X/1 is valued at 6.10 by Betano.
