Germany Vs Portugal/Football TV
Out of the 31 goals scored across the four two-legged quarter-finals of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League, Germany and Portugal each contributed five goals..
Both nations were the top scorers and winners of their respective UEFA Nations League groups, and goals may again be a key feature in this first-ever head-to-head meeting in the competition. The last time these two sides faced each other, Germany came out on top in a six-goal thriller with a 4-2 victory.
That win is part of a five-match head-to-head winning streak for the Germans, who are making their first-ever appearance in the UEFA Nations League finals and will enjoy home advantage as the hosts of the tournament.
That could prove to be key for Die Mannschaft, who have lost just one of 12 matches on German soil (W8, D3) since manager Julian Nagelsmann’s home debut ended in a 3-2 defeat to Turkey in November 2023.
Portugal needed extra time to overcome Denmark in their quarter-final clash, but they hold a stronger pedigree than Germany at this stage, having won the final in the inaugural 2018/2019 edition.
Yet amidst swirling rumours that José Mourinho could soon take Roberto Martínez’s role as manager, a cloud of uncertainty hangs over Portugal.
If this turns out to be Ronaldo’s final tournament appearance, he’ll need to help his country break a streak of three consecutive away games without a win (two draws and one loss). They lost the first leg of their quarter-final in Denmark 1-0, and with all three matches coming in this competition, the team faces a significant psychological challenge

Players to watch: Amidst a multi-club battle for his signature, Leroy Sané carries strong club form into this semi-final, having directly contributed to six goals for Bayern (4 goals, 2 assists) since Germany’s last fixture.
Francisco Trincão ended the club season on a high with five goal contributions—two goals and three assists—in his last five matches for Sporting CP. He also scored twice after coming off the bench in Portugal’s quarter-final win over Denmark.
Hot streak: Portugal has managed just one clean sheet in their eight UEFA Nations League matches.
