Both the teams are aspirants of Euro 2016 and for that the match is not only important for both the teams but for the fans and followers too. Earlier in this Euro Germany has not lost to any team so far. They also have the record of not conceding any goal. German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been successfully replaced Oliver Kahn under the bar. Also the defence played a crucial role to lead the team at such height. At the beginning the team was a little slow. Gradually they gained power to conquer the Euro. For that German players also commented that their Euro started two weeks after the official start of the tournament. Centre-back Jerome Boateng and central-midfielder Toni Kroos played outstanding. In case of Italy the tournament was not so easy. They had to cross the hurdles named Belgium and Spain in their round-16 matches. Germany had Poland as a little tough opponent. Italy beat both the heavyweights in their group matches. However, they conceded a loss against weaker Ireland. Italy will start after a win over the host Spain at Bordeaux on Saturday. However, they are quite confident of winning the quarters as Italy has their unbeaten record against Germany. Also if they can beat Germany on Saturday they will be the first team to beat the Germans in this tournament. In their last meet Germany won to Italy by 4-1 in a friendly last March. But in bigger tournament lastly Italy won over Germans by 2-1 in Euro 2012 semi-final. However, no prediction will be measured during the match as both the teams are in top forms. Germany announces their team as fully match-fit. They will continue with their previous team played and won against Slovakia. They will keep the formation of their team intact too. On the other hand Italy will also have their squad for this match. Thiago Motta is to be back one match suspension. However,condition of Antonio Candreva is not clear. Italy is expected to keep their winning team against Spain intact in this match.
