Germany will look to continue their impressive run of form when they host Portugal for their all-important 2024/25 UEFA Nations League semifinal clash on Wednesday.
Julian Nagelsmann’s men have been in fantastic form since he took over, with their only loss in their last 11 home matches coming at the 2024 Euros at the hands of eventual winners Spain. This is their first time making it to the business end of the Nations League and they will hope to go all the way through to win the competition.
On the other hand, Portugal have not been at their best since Roberto Martinez took over as manager. They narrowly scraped past Denmark to make it to the semifinals, however, they will look to surprise Germany and increase their chances of becoming the first side to win the Nations League twice.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
