Portugal – Germany, Euro 2020 Prediction

✳️ Portugal with a big but very difficult victory at the start

Portugal had a very complicated match against Hungary, which was not very difficult to predict given that the Hungarians were in front of full stands at home in Budapest and are a total outsider in the group, which logically meant that they would play all their matches without tension and without expectations. However, the sailors were aggressive enough, showed mentality, and showed a lot of will to succeed. What’s even better for them is that the moment they scored, they didn’t stop attacking and made a pretty good goal difference with Ronaldo’s goals after that.

😔 The Germans did not cope with the pressure

Germany failed to counteract France well enough. Löw decided to use a scheme with 3 players in defense, which limited the functions of some players. Perhaps the most affected was Kimmich with his role as wing-back. The Germans could not withstand the pressure of France and conceded the first goal in the 1st half, and then did not find a way to score, which brings us back to the topic that this team is in transition and everyone is waiting for the arrival of Flick because Löw just has no idea how to make Germany at the level of the best.

 Odds help us take sides in this battle

Based on what has been written so far, we do not see such a serious reason for Germany to be favored, except for the home advantage. However, Portugal are in a position that they will like and take advantage of quite well. They know that the Germans need a victory and will try to dominate, and the sailors are great on a counter-attack, which is bad for the defense of Germany, which is not very fast. We think that the Portuguese are more mature in their game at the moment than the opponent, so we choose the option Portugal +0.5 Asian Handicap to 1.65.
