Their attacking flair is particularly evident in two high-scoring victories, thrashing Denmark 5-2 in their most recent outing and dominating Poland 5-1 earlier in the UEFA Nations League campaign. Despite a brief setback with a 1-0 loss to Denmark, Portugal have remained largely unbeaten, securing three wins and two draws in their last six fixtures. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding just six goals overall, with one clean sheet against Scotland. The team's goal difference of +8 underscores their offensive strength, whilst the fact that both teams scored in 67% of these matches suggests exciting, open encounters. Portugal's ability to score consistently, coupled with their tendency to be involved in matches where goals are frequent for both sides, makes them an entertaining side to watch in international competition.

Recent home/away form

Germany

Germany have been in impressive form at home, with a run of five consecutive wins before their most recent draw against Italy. Their attacking prowess has been particularly noteworthy, with the team scoring a remarkable 20 goals in their last six home matches, averaging 3.33 goals per game. The standout performance was a 7-0 thrashing of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the UEFA Nations League, demonstrating Germany's ability to dominate weaker opposition. Defensively, the team have been equally solid, keeping five clean sheets in six matches and conceding only three goals in total. The high-scoring nature of Germany's home games is evident, with an average of 3.83 total goals per match. However, there's an interesting split between high and low-scoring affairs, with exactly half of the games featuring over 2.5 goals and half under. This recent form suggests that Germany are a formidable force on home soil, capable of both scoring freely and shutting out their opponents.

Portugal

Portugal's recent away form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Seleção have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring an average of 1.17 goals per game, but have shown defensive resilience, conceding just 0.83 goals per match. Their performances have been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games featuring under 2.5 goals. Portugal have managed two clean sheets in this period, but have also failed to score in two matches, including a disappointing 2-0 loss to Georgia in the European Championship. Their most impressive result came against Türkiye, where they secured a commanding 3-0 victory. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only 33% of Portugal's recent away fixtures, highlighting their ability to keep opponents at bay, but also their occasional struggle to break down defences on their travels.
