The UEFA Nations League quarter-final clash between Italy and Germany promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both sides boasting attacking talent but struggling defensively. Here are three predictions for the game, including odds and analysis.
1. Both Teams to Score – Yes (4/6)
Both teams have been far from solid at the back recently. Italy have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches, while Germany’s three away games in the Nations League group stage all saw both teams score. Additionally, seven of the last eight head-to-head meetings between these sides have seen BTTS land. Italy scored in 12 of their last 13 home games, and Germany’s attacking options, even with injuries, should trouble the Azzurri’s defence. This bet offers good value given the probability of both teams finding the net.
2. Draw (12/5)
With both teams in transitional phases under Luciano Spalletti and Julian Nagelsmann, this could be a tightly contested affair. Italy’s home advantage is balanced by Germany’s attacking depth, even with key absentees like Florian Wirtz and Serge Gnabry. A draw seems a likely outcome, especially given the historical competitiveness of this fixture.
3. Leroy Sane to Score Anytime (11/4)
With Germany missing several key attackers, Leroy Sane is likely to play a central role. He has the pace and skill to trouble Italy’s defence, which has looked vulnerable in recent games. At 11/4, this offers excellent value for a player of his calibre in a high-stakes match.
