Germany and Italy national teams face one another in European Championship quarterfinal clash. The game will be played in Bordeaux on Saturday, July 2nd.
Germany didn’t put much effort in winning their group with seven points gained in three matches after beating Ukraine, 2-0, Northern Ireland, 1-0 and drawing match with Poland, 0-0. Germany showed their outstanding potential in round of last 16, simply thrashing Slovakia, 3-0. The score could’ve been even bigger, but Mesut Ozil failed to beat the keeper from the spot. Lew’s team proved their top level with 19 shots take in the match and allowing Slovakia create small number of chances. That was perfect in almost every component for Germany and they reminded that team who demolish Brazil 2 years ago.

Italy, in turn, had their own perfect match, beating the titleholders Spain and revenging 0-4 defeat in Kyiv final in 2012. Antonio Conte showed their best football in this competition and could’ve be considered as main contenders for the title if it wasn’t for their opponents in this match, Germany. Italy is build of quite average players and they are strong as a team. Only Buffon and De Rossi can be considered as top-level footballers but Danielle’s best years are gone while Buffon make difference in the goal, but not on the field.
The opponents played 13 head-to-heads in their history and only one time Germany managed to beat today’s opponents. This win was take in the end of match this year (4-1). Four time Azzurri celebrated victories and another eight matches ended with draws. The most recent win of Italy over Die Mannschaft was take in the semifinals of Euro 2012 and it appears Germany is ready to take their revenge for all previous losses.
Prediction for the match: Germany to win.
