Portugal vs Germany: The recent form of both teams

Portugal have been in great form. With three late goals against Hungary in Budapest will surely have boosted their confidence. However, with a team like Portugal would have been loved to win that match before 75 odd minutes just to ensure their supremacy.

With this match, Portugal will love to qualify for the next round with one game to spare. Captain Ronaldo also would not mind extend his goals at the Euro, after being the top scorer in the Euro History.

Now, Germany will be bit cautious after losing the game against France in Munich. Though Germany is always known to be a slow starter, but this time around it might be a tougher situation in the camp considering the group. They had position for most of the parts in that game, but could not convert them in scores.

An unlucky own goal by Mats Hummels would not worry Joachim Low, as they were very compact in their defense.

Portugal vs Germany: Team news, head to head record and Probable starting xi

Portugal

Fernando Santos' will be a much confident side coming to this game. Cristiano Ronaldo's goal scoring form can give any team a scary look. With a midfield and defence starring with stars, Fernando Santos will be eager to qualify for the next round with a win over the Germans.

The good news for them is that there is no injury worries for them yet in the tournament. Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva has been in top form.

Meanwhile, Nélson Semedo, Rúben Dias, and Pepe looking solid like never before. Pepe's experience at the back is proving to be great for them. Also, with a chance of qualifying for the next round even with a game to spare, they might be more focused and determined.

"I'm not afraid of Germany at all. I think the two teams will respect each other because they know that on both sides there are powerful forces capable of deciding the game. To think that Portugal are favourites against Germany, playing in Germany, is crossing the line. If the players fell into that way of thinking, we wouldn't even draw this game!"

Portugal's coach Fernando Santos

Portugal possible starting lineup:

Rui Patrício; Nélson Semedo, Rúben Dias, Pepe, Guerreiro; Danilo, William Carvalho; Diogo Jota, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva; Ronaldo

Germany

The good news for Germany is that they are unbeaten against Portugal in the last five major matches between the teams. And the record is only after Joachim Löw was appointed as an assistant coach of the German team. However, they will be under huge pressure coming into the game.

Thomas Muller was not at his best in the last match. Also, they are missing a solid finisher in the box like Miroslav Klose. Timo Warner tried his best coming form the bench. He might start today considering his last match run. Leroy Sane also might come in as a replacement for Kai Havertz, who had a tough game against the world champions.

Robin Gosens and Joshua Kimmich will be seen operating in the wings to provide more chances.

 "Portugal do not only have Cristiano Ronaldo in attack, but four or five other players with outstanding abilities. They are capable of deciding big matches like this on their own. They are adaptable and technically strong. It is so difficult keeping them at bay because it's so tough to take the ball away from them."

German coach, Joachim Löw

Germany possible starting lineup

Neuer; Ginter, Hummels, Rüdiger; Kimmich, Gündoğan, Kroos, Gosens; Havertz, Müller; Gnabry
