Taking place at San Siro, this clash will see Luciano Spalletti’s Italy go head-to-head with Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany in a battle between two European powerhouses. Both teams aim to secure a spot in the semifinals and continue their quest for international glory. Discover how both teams arrive, their recent results, and the possible lineups for this crucial encounter.

Italy enters this match looking to build on their strong performances in the group stage, finishing second in their group behind France. The Azzurri have shown resilience in recent games but will need to be at their best against a formidable German side. Spalletti's squad will rely on a disciplined defense and quick transitions to challenge their opponents.

Germany, on the other hand, dominated their group, finishing first with an unbeaten record. Under Nagelsmann, Die Mannschaft has combined defensive solidity with attacking efficiency, making them a strong contender in this tournament. With a balanced squad and tactical flexibility, Germany will be eager to impose their style on Italy.

Expect a high-stakes encounter with both teams battling for control in midfield and looking to exploit any defensive vulnerabilities.

Italy has had a mix of results in recent weeks, showcasing both their attacking prowess and defensive strength. A 1-3 defeat to France in their last outing was a setback, but before that, they secured a solid 1-0 win against Belgium and a dominant 4-1 victory over Israel.

Germany has been in excellent form, with a commanding 7-0 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina and a strong 1-0 victory over the Netherlands. A 1-1 draw against Hungary, however, showed that they can be tested defensively.

Italy and Germany have a storied rivalry in international football, with Italy historically having the upper hand in major tournaments. However, Germany’s recent dominance in European football makes this matchup highly unpredictable. The last time these two sides met, the game ended in a tightly contested 1-1 draw.

With both teams possessing elite talent and tactical discipline, this match is expected to be highly competitive. Italy will look to capitalize on their defensive organization and counterattacks, while Germany will aim to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities through their dynamic attacking options.

Expect a tactical battle where the first goal could determine the game’s tempo. A close and hard-fought encounter is on the cards, with both teams desperate for a semifinal spot.

Fans can watch the Italy vs Germany match live on UEFA TV PPV on Thursday, March 20, starting at 3:45 PM ET (12:45 PM PT).
