Germany v Portugal Betting Tips [4 June 2025]

Germany and Portugal will start us off in the Nations League semi-finals. On Wednesday these two giants of Europe face off in the first semi-final at the Munich Football Arena. Below is our prediction for the match.

This match marks the first ever meeting between the two nations in this competition. Germany are playing at this level for the first time and will be hoping to keep their run against Portugal going.

To book their slot, Germany had to overcome Italy in a 5-4 win on aggregate in the quarter-finals. The Germans won 2-1 away in Italy before playing to a 3-3 draw in Dortmund. With that draw, Germany take into this game an eighth undefeated game.

Portugal are in the chase for a second Nations League title after winning the inaugural one in 2019. The former European champions didn’t have things smooth on their way here.

In the first leg of the quarter-finals, they lost 1-0 away in Denmark. They then had to endure a grueling 90 minutes and extra time in the home leg, which they eventually won 5-2.

The Portuguese aren’t enjoying a run as solid as their hosts, with just two wins in the last five matches. Twice in those five matches, Portugal failed to score, and away from home, they’ve won once in the last five.

There’s a wave of positivity around the German team after the European Championship, and they’ve been doing well. The hosts were in danger of capitulation against Italy, but they held on well to reach the semis. Portugal also had a few scares in their journey to the semi-finals.

In terms of recent form, Portugal will come here as the underdogs. Germany have done well in recent matches, and playing at home has worked for them too. This is a fixture the hosts have dominated, and our prediction for Germany v Portugal is that Germany wins the match.
