Portugal and Germany are back in action at UEFA Euro 2020 this weekend as they lock horns in a crucial fixture at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. Both teams have assembled impressive squads for the competition and will want to prove a point in this match.
Portugal are one of the favourites to win the competition at the moment and arguably have the most dangerous attacking unit at Euro 2020. The Portuguese eased past Hungary in their previous match and could potentially secure qualification to the knock-outs with a victory in this fixture.
Germany, on the other hand, suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of France last week and cannot afford to drop points in this match. Die Mannschaft have improved in recent weeks and will want to make a statement in this match.

Portugal (POR) vs Germany (GER) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most prolific goalscorers in world football at the moment and is a must-have in this team. The Juventus star scored a brace against Hungary last week and is virtually unstoppable at his best.
Bruno Fernandes has also enjoyed an impressive season and is Portugal's creator-in-chief going into this game. Germany have some creative genius in the final third as well, with Thomas Muller leading the line at Euro 2020.
Raphael Guerreiro is one of the few goalscoring defenders in European football at the moment and is an excellent pick for this team. Joshua Kimmich and Toni Kroos form the core of Germany's robust side and will have to be at their best against Portugal.
