England – Germany : Preview & Prediction
This is one of the great shocks of these round of 16 of Euro 2020. The two historic rivals that are England and Germany meet for the start of this final phase. They did not have the same route at all to reach this stage of European competition. England fell into a very affordable pool. Despite a fairly convincing entry against Croatia (1-0), the selection of the Three Lions had a lot more trouble thereafter. Gareth Southgate’s men were jostled by Scotland the next day (0-0). However, they managed to steal first place from the pool to the Czech Republic on the final day, after a rather soporific meeting (1-0).
The essential is however there for the English! They have qualified for the knockout stages. Especially since they will have the chance to evolve, once again, in front of their public on the side of Wembley. However, it will be necessary to raise their level of play to have the slightest chance of reaching the quarter-finals. Indeed, Harry Kane’s teammates will find Germany for the round of 16. And the Mannschaft have already had to work hard to qualify at this stage of the competition. Joachim Löw’s players were present in the Pool of Death. They started from the outset with a meeting against the 2018 world champion, the French team. Despite the defeat (1-0), the Germans then did not say their last word in the race for qualification.
Germany managed to revive from the second day and face another European cador, Portugal (4-2). An impressive victory which foreshadowed the best for the future! However, Manuel Neuer’s teammates went very close to the correctional during the last meeting against Hungary (2-2). However, they managed to get a valuable point that allows them to finish in second place in this very complicated group. Now it’s the start of the round of 16! And Germany has already been able to face teams of the standing of England at the start of Euro 2020. A significant asset for this meeting. She should start foot to the floor in this shock.
A situation which is far from being the same for England. Of course, the English were able to challenge Croatia. The last finalist of the 2018 World Cup is however far from evolving at his best level at the moment. Especially when we know that the selection of the Three Lions was not very convincing in the game. We have the impression that it could fall from high, even in front of his audience. For the last competition of Joachim Löw at the head of the Mannschaft, the German players do not want to stop in the round of 16. Three years after the failure at the 2018 World Cup, Germany does not want to experience further disillusion. And it is England who could pay the price from this Tuesday.
Germany have already scored six goals in this Euro 2020.
Joachim Löw knows these important meetings since he has been at the head of Germany since 2006.
Germany relies on the backbone of Bayern Munich (Neuer, Kimmich, Müller).
England often disappoints at major meetings.
Harry Kane, the flagship English striker, has still not scored a single goal in this Euro.
England have won only one of their last five encounters against Germany.
It is one of the most anticipated matches of the round of 16 of Euro 2020. England welcome Germany to Wembley, for a meeting that it could struggle to win. Solid against France and Portugal, the Germans seem to present more guarantees than the English, struggling since the start of the tournament. We therefore predict the qualification of Germany here.
