Exciting match expected between Spain and Germany with goals predicted as top teams face off.

Spain and Germany have been among the standout teams at Euro 2024 and will clash in the first quarter-final match on Friday.

La Roja are the only team that has won all four of their games, coming from behind to defeat Georgia 4-1 in the round of 16.

On the other hand, they will face a Germany team that has netted 10 goals in four matches and will enjoy the support of a loud home crowd in Stuttgart.

Team news

Jonathan Tah is ready to rejoin the German national team following the end of his suspension.
Jonathan Tah is ready to rejoin the German national team following the end of his suspension.

Spain does not have any new injury worries, so Luis de la Fuente might opt for the same lineup that faced Georgia, featuring Chelsea's Marc Cucurella on the left side and a front trio of Nico Williams, Alvaro Morata, and Lamine Yamal.

Germany will welcome back center-back Jonathan Tah from suspension, who is expected to replace Nico Schlotterbeck.

Wingers Florian Wirtz and Leroy Sane are vying for a spot on the right wing, while David Raum was preferred over Maximilian Mittelstadt in the previous victory against Denmark in the round of 16.

The stats

Spain won all three of their group stage matches without conceding a goal.

La Roja has scored 28 goals in their last ten international matches.

Seven of Spain's last ten games have seen over 2.5 goals scored.

Germany has recorded three 2-0 victories in their last six wins.

Germany's Jamal Musiala has found the net in three of his four appearances at Euro 2024.

The German team has scored two or more goals in 10 of their last 13 matches.

Prediction

While teams like England and France have struggled to find the back of the net in the Euros, Spain and Germany have made it to the quarter-finals in impressive fashion, making a match with over 2.5 goals a tempting choice for Friday.

Spain built their momentum by thrashing Andorra 5-0 and Northern Ireland 5-1 in the lead-up to the tournament and have continued their attacking form by scoring nine goals in victories over Croatia, Italy, Albania, and Georgia.

Although they needed an own-goal to secure a 1-0 win over Italy, Spain dominated with 20 attempts at goal and should feel confident about causing trouble for the home team.

Germany had luck on their side with a VAR decision disallowing a Joachim Andersen goal in their last-16 match against Denmark when the game was still level at 0-0.

A Kai Havertz penalty and a brilliant strike from the in-form Jamal Musiala sealed the win, following earlier victories of 5-1 against Scotland and 2-0 against Hungary in Group A.

In their final group game, Germany salvaged a 1-1 draw with Switzerland with a last-minute equalizer, dominating with an 18-4 shot count. Going on the offensive could be their strategy when facing Spain in Stuttgart.
