This electrifying match will be hosted at the legendary **Allianz Arena** in Munich. **Germany** welcomes a struggling **Portugal** just days after **PSG’s** stunning Champions League victory at the same venue.
Under **Julian Nagelsmann**, the German squad has been exceptional on home turf, maintaining an unbeaten streak of **ten games**, including **eight wins**.

**Portugal**, coached by **Roberto Martinez**, is currently winless in their last three away matches, registering disappointing draws against **Scotland** and **Croatia**, alongside a loss in **Denmark**.
Both Teams to Score: Yes
Despite their formidable home record, Germany’s defense has shown some vulnerability. They conceded **three goals to Italy** in Dortmund earlier this year and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three outings.
