Match facts

Germany

  • Germany have never beaten Italy at a major tournament (D4 L4). Worse still, they have lost all four of their games against Italy in the knockout stages: three times at the World Cup (semi-final in 1970, final in 1982, semi-final in 2006) and once at the European Championships (semi-final in 2012).
  • Germany and Italy's last encounter was earlier this year on 29 March: Joachim Low's men won 4-1 in Munich.
  • Die Mannschaft have reached the semi-finals in their last five major tournaments (WC 2006, EURO 2008, WC 2010, EURO 2012, WC 2014).
  • Low's men have won 14 of their last 17 games at major tournaments, drawing two and losing one (1-2 v Italy in the EURO 2012 semi-finals).
  • Germany are the only team yet to concede a single goal so far at EURO 2016. The only previous time they kept clean sheets in their first four games at a major tournament was in the 1978 World Cup.
  • Germany have averaged 69% possession over their first four games, the highest ratio so far at EURO 2016.
  • Mario Gomez has scored the joint-most goals for Germany at the EURO alongside Jürgen Klinsmann (5).
  • Bastian Schweinsteiger has played in 36 games at major tournaments. Only Miroslav Klose (37) has featured more times for any nation at the World Cup and European Championships.

Italy

  • Italy's next goal will be their 50th against Germany.
  • Gli Azzurri have kept 19 clean sheets in 37 EURO games, more than any other team in the history of the tournament and just ahead of Germany (18 clean sheets in 47 games). They've only conceded one goal at EURO 2016.
  • Italy have picked up more cards than any other team at EURO 2016 (13 in four games).
  • Italy are still in contention to reach the final of the EURO in consecutive tournaments for the first time in their history.
  • Italy's only previous game in Bordeaux in a major tournament was a 2-2 draw against Chile in the 1998 World Cup group stages.
  • Conte's men have already won three games at EURO 2016 (shoot-outs excluded), their highest tally in a EURO tournament since the 2000 edition (4 wins).
  • Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci are the only players to have started all four of Italy's games at EURO 2016.
  • Graziano Pellè's two goals at EURO 2016 have come in the 92nd and 91st minute.

Predictions

It is extremely difficult to separate the two sides, considering their strengths and weaknesses and this could go either way.

Both sides are likely to score at least once and this match might very well go into extra time and penalties to decide the winner.

Final Score – 1 : 1

Germany has a strong defense and midfield but it is very weak on the front. While Italy is solid in every area but has a weaker midfield than Germany, yet solid. I expect Germany to win in possession of the game, but will fail to deliver on the score board. Italy will win this for sure, but it will not be an easy game.

Remember, the Germans never win against Italy on big tournaments, no matter how strong or weak both of the sides are. I'm for 100% sure that Italy will win.

We're seeing a battle between two of the world's best goalkeepers here. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what this fixture produces. But in the end, I think Germany will finally get revenge for all the times Italy has defeated them. I'm not expecting a World Cup Semi-type-game, but I'm guessing this match will end 0-0 or 1-1, with Germany edging Italy 5-4 in a dramatic penalty shootout.

I hope Italy win, mainly because I think France (if they go through) have a better chance of beating Italy than Germany in the semi-final.
