Spain vs Germany Predictions: Sportpesa Midweek Jackpot Predictions
The UEFA European Championship quarter-finals bring together two giants of international football: Spain and Germany. This highly anticipated clash marks the first time these two powerhouses have met in the knockout stages of a major tournament since the 2010 World Cup where Spain emerged victorious in the semi-finals.
Spain holds a clear upper hand in their recent encounters with Germany. Not only did they secure a 1-0 win in that World Cup semi-final, but they also delivered a resounding 6-0 thrashing in the final matchday of the 2020/21 Nations League, effectively eliminating Germany from qualification. This dominance extends further back, with Spain boasting an undefeated record against Germany in competitive matches since 1988 (W3, D3).
Heading into this high-stakes encounter, Spain enters as the slight favorite despite the away-game disadvantage. Their journey to the quarter-finals has been nothing short of impressive, with Luis Enrique’s squad being the only team to win all four of their group stage matches. Spain’s character and resilience were on display in their come-from-behind 4-1 victory against Georgia in the Round of 16, showcasing their determination to replicate their 2020 Euro semi-final feat.
Germany, on the other hand, managed to break free from the shackles of their previous Euros exit in the Round of 16. Their 2-0 victory over Denmark was a tense affair, marked by VAR controversies and weather disruptions. Manager Julian Nagelsmann, known for his tactical flexibility, once again made calculated adjustments to the starting lineup, a strategy that yielded immediate results. He described the team’s opening 20 minutes as “the best of the tournament” for Germany.
This victory has rekindled the nation’s aspirations of ending their 28-year European Championship title drought. However, Germany hasn’t reached a major tournament semi-final in eight years. Their recent struggles against Spain, with none of the last four encounters ending in a victory (D3, L1), likely add a layer of concern. Their last win against Spain dates back to November 2014.
This quarter-final clash promises to be a captivating battle between a team on a dominant run and a nation hungry for redemption. With Spain’s recent mastery over Germany and Germany’s unwavering spirit to reclaim their European glory, the stage is set for a thrilling encounter.
