Spain and Germany are set to face off in the Euro 2024 quarter-final at the MHP Arena in Stuttgart, Germany. The match is scheduled to kick off at 9:30 PM on Friday.
Both teams have been standout performers in the tournament, remaining unbeaten thus far. Germany have won all their matches except for a draw against Switzerland, while Spain has convincingly won all their games. Spain has scored nine goals and conceded just one in the tournament so far, showcasing their defensive solidity and attacking prowess.
This will be the fourth meeting between Spain and Germany in the Euros. Spain leads the head-to-head in Euro with two wins, while Germany have one victory, and one match ended in a tie. Their last Euro encounter was in the 2008 final, where Spain emerged victorious thanks to a goal from Fernando Torres. In their most recent meeting at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Spain holds the upper hand in their last four major tournament clashes, remaining unbeaten and scoring a total of six goals.
However, Germany have a strong record against Spain on home turf. While they lost to Spain in 1935 with a score of 2-1, they have remained unbeaten in their last eight home games. This home advantage could play a crucial role in their upcoming clash.
Germany will see the return of Jonathan Tah after his suspension in the previous game, which will bolster their defense. On the other hand, Spain is dealing with an injury concern over Aymeric Laporte, which could impact their defensive stability.
Jamal Musiala has been in exceptional form for Germany, scoring three goals in the tournament, making him joint top scorer in Euro 2024. His creativity and goal-scoring ability will be vital for Germany. Spain’s Fabian Ruiz has been directly involved in five goals in his last four games across all competitions. He has both scored and assisted in two of his three Euro 2024 matches, highlighting his importance to Spain's attack.
If Germany loses this game, it will mark the first time a host nation has been knocked out in the Quarter-Finals of the Euros. This adds an extra layer of pressure on the German side to perform in front of their home crowd.
