The two European giants, Portugal and Germany are set to lock horns in a mouth-watering fixture of the Group F of EURO 2020 at Allianz Arena on Saturday.
Portugal:
The visitors, Portugal will be eyeing to register a win in the clash against the mighty Germans. In their opening outing they picked up a comfortable victory against Hungary. The defending champions had tallied a thrashing 3-0 win in their opening group fixture in EURO 2020.
Under the guidance of manager, Fernando Santos the Portuguese were able to break the rock-solid defense of Hungary, who had conceded just once in their previous four matches.
The Euro 2016 Champions were able to bag the goals in the final six minutes of the game against Hungary. It was Raphael Guerreiro who broke the deadlock in 84th minutes and the other couple of goals came in quick succession. The side’s talisman Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace to seal the game.
Portugal are now unbeaten in seven matches across all competitions. They have picking up five wins and two draws. The Navigators would certainly aim to carry on with the momentum picking up the victory in their second match of EURO 2020.
Germany:
Germany, who failed to start their campaign with a narrow defeat against the rivals France on Tuesday. The Frenchmen prevailed with an own goal in the 20th minute, scored by the veteran Mats Hummels.

Die Mannschaft are currently in the third place in Group F and they will be desperate for a win to get back on the track.
