Cristiano Ronaldo and co did what they had to on Tuesday night. It took 83 minutes for the breakthrough to come but it opened the floodgates. Their 3-0 win against Hungary sent them top of the dreaded Group F and gave them momentum.

Germany had a trickier time against the World Cup holders. France won 1-0 in that eye-catching matchup on Tuesday evening. If Germany fail to win this match then they will be unable to finish in the top two of Group F – provided Hungary don’t beat France.

It lays the foundation for another edition of this classic European football rivalry. This will be the fifth meeting between Portugal and Germany in the European Championships. It’s the second-most played fixture in the history of the competition. This is also the sixth meeting between the two sides in major tournaments since Euro 2000. This is the most-played European fixture in that time.

It promises to be a match of the highest quality. These were two of the five-best passing teams in their opening matches. Germany and Portugal both completed 89% of their passes in their opening matches.

But perhaps it won’t be a match full of goals. Germany only had one shot on target during their matchday 1 games against France. That’s despite having 59 attacks against the world champions. Portugal had 11 shots from their 68 attacks.

But Joachim Loew’s men are the favourites to secure the win. Germany are 2.25 to secure three vital points in Group F. It’s 3.30 for the sides to draw and 3.30 for Portugal to get the win that would secure their place in the knockout stage.

Odds from bet365 at 16:00 on 18 June 2021. Odds may now differ

Germany should see the majority of possession here. That was the case against France but most of their passing came through Toni Kroos. Portugal allowed Hungary’s defenders to have more of their ball in their opening match so expect the same here.

Expect a similar match to France vs Germany on matchday 1. A single goal may be enough for the win here. Cards are a rarity in this tournament. Under 3 seems fair.
