Time -8 pm ,UK.

Hostilities resumes today in the European Nations League , when Germany takes on Portugal in the semi finals stage of this year’s Nations League at the Alliance Arena stadium in Munich , which recently hosted the biggest football event finals in Europe last Saturday between PSG and Inter Milan .
Germany are playing in the Nations League for the first time this year , while the Portuguese will seek to win the Nations League for the second time and become the first European Nation to do so .

The first ever meeting between these two football giants in Europe , outside of a major tournament since 1997.
Having lost just one match out of 11 during the Euro 2024 to Spain , and also appearing for the first time as well as hosting the tournament , to this stage of the semi finals , with their current form they promise to rise up to the occasion against the Portuguese .
The two are familiar foes at the big stage ,thhough Germany lost to Portugal during the Euro 2000, but has had an upper hand there after , sinking Portugal in the 2006 and 2014 world cups as well as Euro 2008, 2012 and 2020 respectively .

With series of disappointing results after the Euro 2024 last summer , but there is a shed of optimism on e again and a feeling that the Germans can now compete comfortably in next summers World Cup
Despite leading 5-1 at half time in the second leg ,they could not close their flanks but allowed the Azzurris to score three times at the resumption of hosltiities and were lucky to have a penalty cancelled by the VAR refereee to end their nightmare against Italy .
They maintained the tempo and status ante as well as winning streak during the Nations League gaining 14 points out of a possible 18 ,in a group that contains the Netherlands , Hungry and Bosinia -Herzogvina .
Seen as the favourites to lift the Cup, as well as their extra terrestrial performance lately with a good standing for next year’s World Cup , they hope to extend their winning streak against the Portuguese to sin this night at the Alliance Arena , a familiar , turf and hoke soil

Head Coach of the Portuguese may not be comfortable with series of losses as they file out against the Germans tonight , after a disappointing Euro last summer and an unconvinng win over the Danish Natiional team in the quarter finals of the Nations League , when they were four minutes from elimination after a 2-2 draw , thenna saving Grace goal as well as last and early strike from Francisco Trincao , saved the day for their semi final spot tonight .

The 2019 winners are seen as outsiders in today’s match against the Germans among the final four in the Nations League , but thet still maintain same squad of six years again which keeps them in a proper footing for the World Cup Qualifier s coming up in September this year where they face Hungary , Armenia Ireland .
Despite their poor outing in the last Euro 2024 which included losing to Georgia , needing a penalty to beat Slovenia before crashing out against France after being unbeaten during the group stages against Poland , Croatia and Scotland .

Both teams are ready for the hosltiities play maker and Captain , C Ronald being rumoured of a possible transfer as the season ends will also be available tonight and it will mark his 220th appearance against a nation he has never enjoyed a win against
While Bernado Silva has already marked his 100th appearance and physically fit against Denmark in their last match , will be joined in the attack with two of PSG Champions League winners , Joao Neves and Vitnha .
For the Germans , Captain Joshua Kimmich will also enjoy his historic 100th appearance for the Germans , today’s encounter seems to be a historic some of the key players who have paid their dues in football will enjoy a celebrity status with the number of times they have appeared for their country .
Goalkeepers , Mark Andre ter Stegen is back from a nine month long injury and is likely to start ahead of Oliver Baumann and Alexander Nubel.
Others may not be available tonight like Antonio Rudiger , Kai Harvertz ,Jamal Musilia , Yanni Bissack who limped out of the champions league finals as well as Nico Schloteback amongst notable absentees .

Predictions .

Both teams have the reocdi of having scored the highest number of goals so far in the 2024/2025 season and will likely repeat same with so many goals tonight
Though the Portuguese may have an edge with a complete squad with most of their players having tastes victory long enough and have been in the squad for the past six years .
Their play maker , Christiana Ronaldo is likely to start infornt this night , but the question is why is Roberto Martinez always confident of his performance ,most especially in this caliber of match against the Germans who will expect more actions and goals which may not come easy for him due to his age ???
All the same we expect an entertaining encounter full of goals this evening at Alliance Arena, in Munich , Bavaria , Germany .

Germany 2-1 , 3-2 Or 2-2

Happy Viewing and welcome to the last lap of matches in the European Nations League .
