<h1>Germany vs Portugal Betting Tips: Will the Nations League goals flow?<br /> &nbsp;</h1> <p>Two talented teams that haven’t quite lived up to expectations in recent years have a chance of winning the UEFA Nations League in 2025.</p> <p>But will Germany or Portugal get the job done? They meet in the semi-final on Thursday morning (05:00am AEST).</p> <p><strong>Key Info&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Germany will have home advantage in this semi-final at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Will that prove vital?</p> <p>Perhaps, but they had home field advantage at EURO 2024 last summer too, where they lost to eventual champions Spain in the quarter finals.</p> <p>Portugal also bowed out of the competition at the same stage following a penalty shootout loss to France, but like Germany they have rebounded somewhat since.</p> <p><strong>Team Form</strong></p> <p>Since losing at EURO 2024, Germany have gone seven games unbeaten.</p> <p>They’ve won three and also drawn with Italy on home soil, with the 5-4 aggregate victory over the Italians in the Nations League quarter-finals – courtesy of a 2-1 win in Milan and a 3-3 draw in Dortmund – the pick of the bunch.</p> <p>Portugal have struggled on their travels since EURO 2024, tasting defeat in Denmark and drawing in Croatia and Scotland.</p> <p>Thankfully for Roberto Martinez, their home form has been much better – winning four on the spin, including a 5-2 thrashing of Denmark in the second leg of their Nations League quarter final… but how much will that count for in Munich?</p> <p><strong>Tactics and Lineups</strong></p> <p>This is a functional and efficient German side under Julian Nagelsmann, who will set his team up in a nominal 4-3-3 shape; albeit one that will morph with and without the ball.</p> <p>Jamal Musiala is the kingpin in a side that otherwise surprisingly lacks star power, although the central defensive partnership of Antonio Rudiger and Jonathan Tah is as secure as they come.</p> <p>The lack of a natural goalscorer in Germany has seen Tim Kleindienst, the Borussia Monchengladbach striker, called up for international duty for the first time at 29.</p> <p>Portugal will also adopt a 4-3-3 system, with Cristiano Ronaldo potentially starting through the middle.</p> <p>The likes of Vitinha, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes have enjoyed fine seasons with PSG, while Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leao are match winners on their day.</p> <p><strong>Germany vs Portugal Betting Angles</strong></p> <p>Germany have been installed as the favourites on home soil in the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/uefa-competitions/uefa-nations-league-a/germany-v-portugal-9067889">Germany vs Portugal betting odds</a>, but are they really a better team than the Portuguese?</p> <p>They are a functional outfit for sure, but the Portuguese have more star quality and players that can win a game with a moment of magic – so Portugal hold appeal to win this game or, at least, take it into extra time.</p> <p>The respective quarter finals for these teams saw eight and nine goals over two legs, with three of those games delivering Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals. A repeat in Munich is distinctly possible.</p>
