The UEFA Euro 2020 features another high-profile match this week as England lock horns with Germany at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday. The two European giants have been inconsistent this summer and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Germany are in a distinct period of transition at the moment but can still pack a punch on their day. Die Mannschaft tore through Portugal last week and will want to put in a similar performance in this match.
England, on the other hand, have largely flattered to deceive in the final third and will need to step up to the plate against Germany. The Three Lions have a balanced squad but will have to work hard to get the better of their rivals this week.

England (ENG) vs Germany (GER) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Kai Havertz has shown tremendous improvement in recent months and has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Thomas Muller has made a quick recovery from his injury and should be able to start this game.
England have prolific attackers in their own right but the likes of Harry Kane will need to hit their stride in this game. Raheem Sterling has scored both of England's goals so far and is a good captaincy choice for this team.
Joshua Kimmich and Robin Gosens have roamed the flanks to good effect for Germany and will have to play their part in this match. Luke Shaw performs a similar role for England and could find himself in advanced positions in this fixture.
