5 years ago 941

Germany will face another mountain as they look to register their first victory in the Euro 2020 against Portugal in their second matchday of Group F or many call it ‘group of legends’ and ‘group of death’ on Saturday at Football Arena Munich with kickoff at 19:00.

Germany head into the match off the back of 1-0 defeat to France on Tuesday with an own goal from the veteran defender Matts Hummels in the 20^th minute. Thus, Germany head into the clash desperate to bounce back as they look to qualify for the knockout stage of the European Championship for the fourth time successively.

Although it’s a tight match Germany will be the favorites to take the three points off Portugal as they have not lost to Portugal in any of their last four games and the Joachim Low’s side will be looking to build on that as they look to increase their chances of advancing.

Portugal on the other hand come into the match of the back of 0-3 win against Hungary in their opening fixtures a game in which they won in the last six minutes of the match with Raphael Guerreiro scoring in the first goal in the 84^th minute followed by a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo to make it to three goals.

Portugal will look to continue defending their Euro title as they head into the Saturday’s clash as they know that a win would book them a spot in the knockout stages with one game to go. Portugal will also aim to continue their current impressive form as they are currently on a seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions that includes five wins and two draws.
