Spain v Germany Euro 2024 quarter-final preview

With the final just ten days away now, Ladbrokes previews Spain's Euro 2024 quarter-final clash against Germany on Friday evening in Germany. Will Luis de la Fuente’s men continue their dominant run, or will Hansi Flick’s squad triumph on home soil?

Spain has been in fine form throughout Euro 2024, winning all three of their group matches and comfortably advancing to the quarter-finals with a 4-1 win over Georgia in the last 16. Their blend of solid defence and creative attacking play has made them a force to be reckoned with.

Leading the Spanish attack, Alvaro Morata, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal have shown their ability to break down even the toughest defences. Can they keep up their impressive run of form against Germany?

Germany, with their storied footballing tradition, will look to capitalize on playing in front of their home crowd. They navigated through the group stage with 7 points from 3 matches, demonstrating their resilience and tactical acumen.

The German backline, anchored by Antonio Rudiger and Joshua Kimmich, will face a stern test against Spain's dynamic forwards. Home advantage could be crucial, but despite that, the bookies have Spain as the slight favourites over Germany for this one.

Germany could see Jonathan Tah welcomed back into the starting XI after missing the last 16 tie against Denmark through suspension, but Nico Schlotterbeck deputised for the Bayer Leverkusen man and performed well, so some are of the belief that he could keep his place.

Also expected to come back into the starting XI is Florian Wirtz, who was dropped from the line-up for the game against Denmark in favour of Leroy Sane, who the manager felt as if was better suited, a decision that paid off.

The probable teams for the match are:

Spain: Simon; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella; Rodri, Pedri, Fabian; Williams, Morata, Yamal
Germany: Neuer; Kimmich, Rudiger, Schlotterbeck, Raum; Andrich, Kroos; Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz, Havertz

UEFA Euro 2024 has already seen some thrilling matches, and the quarter-final between Spain and Germany is set to be another highlight of the tournament.

Spain aims to extend their winning streak, while Germany, buoyed by their home support, will be eager to secure a semi-final berth.
