I'd rather a draw and for to the game to be settled in the final minutes of the game. The extra-time and penalties could possibly be the best way to decide such a game.
The way Spanish side plays is no different from how Josep Pep Guardiola plays and shapes his side in the Premier League, I figured a way for Germany to out play Spain at most in midfied but I'm not so sure if Julian Nagelsmann would also see it that way.
First they'll have to stop players like Rodri and Fabian Ruiz from detecting the game from the midfied, the likes of Jamal Musiala, IIkay Gundogan and Toni Kroos would have a whole lotta work to do honestly.

Also, they'll have to stop the winger's making the wings very effective. At all cost they must make sure they have strikers who make good use of the chances they have in that game otherwise they'll suffer. They have a good defense who can hold down any striker bit I'm not so sure if they can handle both Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams.


It's Portugal to advance anyways, not because they're having Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandez and Diego Dalot bit because they have been the best when you take a good look at the performance of them both. Like you've said and I agree they have a good squad to win this game but then, the manager is no different from Gareth Southgate.

Yet another game to see Father and Son ( Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe ) trying to get a goal in this tournament. This France side lacks creativity, I'd say they missed Paul Pogba in midfied, Antonio Greezman cannot function alone in games like this.

This is a fierce match between two teams who have quite the same strength, I don't think it's a good betting choice for both teams to score with odds @ 1.76, it's very risky.
Germany and Spain have almost the same strength and we can see the good performance of both teams in the group phase, but I tend to be more confident in Germany, especially since they as hosts will definitely give their best.
Meanwhile in my opinion, Spain doesn't have a good attack line.

I think Spain is presenting a more ready image now. Germany is a very good team, no doubt, but they did not play against strong opponents like the Spanish. It will be the biggest match right now and I think the winner will probably be the champion. This match will be the toughest match. The finalist from the other group will most likely be England. I'm sure it will be a good match.

It's hard to say who will win this match because so far both teams are the most consistent teams in winning, Spain managed to take 3 points from all their matches so far to reach the quarter-finals, as well as Germany who only achieved three win and one draw from of the 4 matches, if we look back at the previous matches of the two teams, we will of course find that Germany and Spain are quite evenly matched in achieving victory from their 26 meetings in international matches, so it is certain that their match will of course be an exciting match has high intensity and it looks like liltle goals will be scored in the match.

In a match between two big teams like this, the status of the host cannot be our reference in guessing which team will win, because in the knockout system of course all teams will use all their abilities, indeed the fan support for Germany will be greater in that the match, however We have to remember the winning mentality that Spain has had all this time is very big, I personally have supported Germany from the start to win Euro 2024, but I want to be realistic because I see  if the small opportunity for Germany win by meeting Spain at this time.

I think that the match Germany vs Spain is impossible to predict, they're both equal and they're have their own advantage. Instead of predicting Germany or Spain will win, the possibility the match will ends in draw is really high too.

So, I'd choose to bet both teams will score with the odds @1.76, it's not that bad, I see both teams will score considering they're offensive teams.

Apart from that, I will still bet on Germany winning, I see that Germany has enough chances to win the match.
Firstly, because Germany is the host and their performance since the group phase has also been quite impressive which makes them have a much bigger mentality to win the match.
Overall, Spain and Germany do not have a significant difference in performance (if we look at all the Euro matches since the group phase) so even though the betting exchange slightly favors Spain, I am still confident that the percentage for qualifying for these two teams is still the same.

For france vs portugal. i have different prediction than yours. I think portugal is gonna win the game, and my reasons is, france is so bad when it came to finishing. And again, france is not scoring through open play since group stage. Meanwhile, portugal is consistently scoring, and it has average 1.25 goals per match.

Portugal has the team and the talent, but it's being poor managed and there's so many issues. Yet, I will say that Portugal is just as likely to win. This is because of how poorly France has been playing. We have seen how poor France's performance is during the group stage, and round of 16. at the end, it will come down to whichever team gets their best performance first (if either does).

They are always big national teams in Europe and last two decades, they won some Euro and World Cup titles. Their national team performances in World Cup and Euro tournaments are not always impressive and in some tournaments, they had to go home early with massive disappointment but generally, their performances are good and it's unrealistic to underestimate their strength.

They are opponents of each other in Euro 2008 and Spain won with a goal of Fernando Torres that is a start of a massive successful cycle of Spain with two Euro titles and one World Cup title within only 6 years.

It's similar when we talk about France and Portugal even Portugal is less successful and stable like Germany and Spain last two decades. France and Portugal met each other in Euro 2016 final match in France and the winner is Portugal with a goal from Renato Sanchez who failed to develop his career after that tournament from Bayern Munich to AS Roma.

If France continue to play poorly, they might lose a quarter final match to Portugal that looks to be more united and ambitious.

Germany of course has a slight advantage because it acts as host. The match between Germany and Spain will definitely attract the attention of many people because these two countries are very strong and are always nominated to win the title in all tournaments. It's hard to guess who will be the winner because their strengths are very evenly matched, Germany and Spain should have met in the final round because they really deserve to occupy that position, but what can the two countries with a fairly strong football culture have to do to meet immediately in the quarter-final round?

Meanwhile, the France and Portugal matches are also the most anticipated matches. These two teams are also favorites in this edition of the Euro and of course the public will be looking forward to the clash between Ronaldo and Mbappe in terms of scoring goals, because the existence of two strikers from different generations is always interesting to watch.

Because after all, Germany and Spain are 2 teams that have the highest probability apart from France and England so it is quite natural that in the end one of the winners of this match can make them the champions in this competition, especially seeing from the statistics of the matches they do, it has been seen that these two teams play above the other teams.

This will be an interesting big match apart from the France versus Portugal match because looking at what will happen in the quarter-finals this time the France versus Portugal and Spain versus Germany matches will be 2 very interesting matches.
As for the opponents before the final I think it is still quite a long time to discuss that because they still have to focus on defeating their opponents in the quarter-finals this time as well as preparing for the semi-finals because after winning in the quarter-finals they (Spain / Germany) must prepare to face either France or Portugal in the semi-finals.

They are considered as a best candidate to win Euro 2024 title according to odds from sportsbooks. Belief and expectation on England team is high but with their poor and not convincing performances so far, it's hard to believe that they can lift the trophy in Euro 2024. Switzerland and Netherlands / Turkey can prevent England to participate in the final match of Euro 2024.

They relied on individual performances and star players' moments to have goals and beat opponents. It's not convincing but the risk is it's hard for them to win match by match with this style in last three matches, assume they can play the final match.

Switzerland with Xhaka in their midfield, has very good ability to control ball and match intensity. If England let Switzerland to score a goal first to lead the match, they will face with massive challenge and solid defense from Switzerland. England can have more speedy and energetic players than Italy but it does not guarantee they will be able to play better than Italy and equalize a match. Switzerland can make another big surprise by beating another strong team in Euro 2024.

Indeed, predicting who will win and who will lose in England's quarter-final match against Switzerland is of course very difficult because England has the advantage of a squad with many famous players and indeed the players' abilities at their respective clubs are very good so many people predict that England will perform extraordinary because they have a strong squad. However, the reality is that so far England's performance has been a bit disappointing because they were not optimal in scoring and there were times when they almost lost when competing, but fortunately England is still lucky because now they will compete in the quarter-finals against Switzerland.

However, Switzerland will indeed be a tough opponent for England because Switzerland is currently in good form and of course very difficult to beat, so if you predict that Switzerland will win, that is natural because Switzerland is currently performing very well.

but I personally predict that in the quarter-final match, Southgate will definitely make England perform better and to be honest, I am personally confused about who will win in England's match against Switzerland, but I have a feeling that England will win because I see the mentality of the English players is very strong and I want to bet on England winning.

Around one and half days to go for the Spain vs Germany match. Sportsbooks are quite divided on this match, and I am a bit surprised to see Spain being favored ahead of the hosts. Spain is at 6/4, while Germany is being placed at 7/4 in the majority of gambling sites. Spain managed to defeat tough teams such as Italy and Croatia, so in a way it makes sense. But then Germany has the home advantage, and they have also performed well in group phase (also in round of 16, when they defeated Danmark). 

Well I'm a little annoyed because I've lost a bit of control in my betting in the past few weeks. But now I'm fine again. And yes, those who have experienced it will definitely understand the situation I experienced. And yes, everyone will have their own choice in determining which team will be their favorite. There are those who choose based on analysis results and there are also those who choose based on guesswork.

And in the quarter-finals, almost all teams could be said to have an advantage that could be expected to lead their team to victory. But apart from the performance and quality of the game, we sometimes also have to look at the mentality and self-confidence of the players in each match. And some teams even didn't seem very confident from the start, so many of them immediately made defensive strategies because they realized that the team they were going to face had a different and better level of attack. but sometimes those who survive are the ones who win because they are patient and calmly wait for the moment to make a counterattack that can quickly turn things around. Türkiye did it yesterday and Slovenia also made it difficult for Portugal with this strategy. But for the Germany and Spain match, both of them will look like two teams that will be ready for everything. They definitely have the same high mentality and performance. And this is what will make our assessment of the results of the match difficult and will make us make different choices. But it seems that more people chose Spain for this match.

The Spain vs Germany match is more similar to the Man City vs Real Madrid match in the UCL yesterday. And yes, it could be that the winner of this match will continue to advance to the final and could even be the winner at Euro this time. Spain and Germany both have their own advantages. Spain does have a very strong defense, a midfield that is very good at passing passes and a very sharp front line. The combination of all the lines in the Spanish national team looks perfect in the several matches we have seen. So it seems that Spain is more expected to win this match. But Germany itself has almost the same advantages as Spain. both teams will probably play aggressively from the start. And several goals can be scored in normal time. but if the match goes into extra time and even goes to a penalty shootout then I think it will make it even more difficult for us to see which team will win. But Germany, perhaps as the host, will be much more hopeful in the penalty shootout. So Spain cannot let the match continue until the penalty shootout. Everything must be completed in normal match time.

Yeah I agree with you, we think this is the final match when the strongest teams fight each other in the quarterfinals then the winner will be closer to the title. Honestly, in this match I slightly favored Spain they are the most perfect team in my opinion, has a reliable strikers and a strong defense which makes their journey easier to reach the next stage, but if this match has to end in a draw and continue through a penalty shootout so I'm not sure they can win, my prediction is only for regular time.

England always have difficulty completing every attack they build in every match. But yes, when they can find their best performance, the England national team actually deserves to be the favorite team at the Euros. But the problem is that they have difficulty finding their own rhythm, so they always perform below their maximum performance. But when they almost lost, they showed a better and braver game. Unfortunately they didn't do it from the start but they just did it from the time the game was running out.

The quarter-final match will be a much more difficult challenge. Switzerland so far they are showing a level of play that exceeds everyone's expectations of them. But I think England will be able to beat Switzerland. As long as the English national team is able to show their best performance, it is the same as when they played against Slovakia in the last minutes of the last match.

Wow... If not for this post, I wouldn't have known that there's a Germany - Spain fixture. Honestly, that fixture is just like the finals I must confess. This is because, from the beginning of the Euro2024 till date, the most outstanding countries have been Germany and Spain. I wish I could watch this two in the finals but they met earlier. Both countries are good in this tournament, but I tip Germany over Spain.

For Portugal and France. These are big names but they haven't done much in this competition. So, anyone can win among them but I tip Portugal over France.

I thought Spain was going to reduce their pace to the title as they advance into every stage of the competition but it didn't, their pace became higher and hotter for opponent in this tournament and facing the host nation Germany, I feel it won't be all about both team but about the Spanish side who have sharp attackers that would make the host to always fall back to defend more than we know them for. Germany can't endure the pressure that's coming up in this encounter and I believe this game is going to be like the finals from how well equipped both team have been.
Like you said the game is going to be a draw, I also think so but what if the host got eliminated by a goal to nil? I think it will hurt the supporters of Germany because they see the national team reaching the finals and winning it. To me I think anyone who get a win in this encounter will eventually be crowned champions.

The most important match of the quarterfinals will be Spain-Germany, the team that wins this match will be one step closer to the cup. Everyone will watch this match on Friday, including me. I hope it will be a match that really is like a final.

France will most likely win the Portugal-France match.
