It’s a clash of European heavyweights at Italy play host to Germany at the San Siro in the first leg of their Nations League quarter-final tie.

One of the more stacked fixtures of the international break, both former world champions are vying for Nations League glory and will hope to take one step closer to silverware with a positive result in Milan.

Both sides comfortably made it through their League A groups, with Germany going unbeaten on their way to topping Group Three.

The two nations have a lot to live up to since their last meeting in 2022 - a seven-goal thriller in Monchengladbach, where Timo Werner’s two-minute brace propelled the Germans to victory.

Prediction

Germany are in the better form of the two sides but will be hampered by the absence of a number of key stars due to injury. Add the hostile environment of the San Siro, the visitors will have to pull something special out of the bag to come away with the win.

Italy 1-1 Germany
