We are down to the quarterfinals in the UEFA Euro 2024, and the matches that are coming our way are nothing less than exciting, as some of these encounters are what you’d expect to see at either the semifinals or finals already, which means this competition is going to be fun to watch through and through.
One such game is the current clash in which Spain, a team that has had a run of excellent performances one after the other, is going to be facing the tournament’s host and a pretty tough opponent, Germany.
With both teams coming in on an unbeaten run and having excellent performances on the way here, we can only anxiously wait for this match.

Why Bet on Spain?
Spain managed to make their way to the quarterfinals as leaders of Group B, landing three victories with a clean sheet and then taking down Georgia in the round of 16 with an incredible performance. Now La Roja remains the only nation at Euro 2024 that boasts a perfect record from four matches after coming from behind to beat the Caucasus team 4-1 on Sunday.
Spain was stunned in the 18th minute when Robin Le Normand inadvertently deflected the ball into his net to put Georgia ahead, the first goal La Roja have conceded at Euro 2024. However, Rodri restored parity on the stroke of halftime before Spain went on to outclass a courageous underdog outfit in the second half.
Luis de la Fuente’s youthful and energetic side have dazzled their way into the quarterfinals, reaching this stage for the fourth time in their last five Euros appearances. Even Germany’s Joshua Kimmich has admitted that “Spain has been the most impressive side so far” at this summer’s tournament.
Why Bet on Germany?
Germany took the top of Group A after a draw and two victories, in which they made a statement being the team to get the most goals during the group stage, and then went on to eliminate Denmark by 2-0 in the round of 16. The tournament hosts remain on course to win their first European Championship title since 1996.
On a night of high drama, interrupted by a first-half thunderstorm including a fierce series of lightning strikes and later marred by VAR controversy, Germany prevailed courtesy of second-half goals from Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala. The latter is one of four players at the top of the Euro 2024 scoring charts with three goals.
After a wild game in Dortmund, Julian Nagelsmann claimed that his German players are “beginning to realize how good they are” progressing to the quarterfinals of a major tournament for the first time since Euro 2016.
Final Betting Analysis: Spain vs. Germany
Spain head into Friday’s blockbuster battle having not lost any of their last six competitive meetings (W3 D3) with Germany dating back to 1998, most recently playing out a 1-1 group-stage draw at the 2022 World Cup. However, La Roja has remarkably never beaten the host nation in the knockout rounds of a Euros or World Cup, failing to win any of their last nine matches dating back to 1934.
Besides that, Die Mannschaft has reason to be optimistic about success on Friday, as it is unbeaten in its last eight games against La Roja on home soil (W5 D3). Meanwhile, no host nation has ever been eliminated from the quarterfinal stage of a UEFA EURO.
This 50-50 contest could go either way, and few would be surprised to see it go beyond the 90 minutes. However, we feel Spain may have the edge to sneak through to the semifinals and bring the curtain down on Germany’s home Euros. We’ll go for a 2-1.
Go for a victory for Spain at 2.795. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $179.5 for a total payout of $279.5.
