Path to the Final
Germany are in Group A and will face Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland in the group stage:
- Scotland: 14 June 2024, Allianz Arena
- Hungary: 19 June 2024, MHPArena
- Switzerland: 23 June 2024, Deutsche Bank Park
Should they top their group, Germany are likely to face the runners-up from Group C, potentially Denmark, in the Round of 16. Advancing further could see them face Spain in the quarter-finals, and possibly Portugal, the Netherlands, or Slovakia in the semi-finals. The final could see a showdown with heavyweights like France or England.
Key Players to Watch
Niclas Füllkrug: Germany’s primary goal threat, Füllkrug, has been in excellent form since making his national team debut in late 2022. He has scored 11 goals in 15 appearances for Germany, and his domestic performance includes 12 goals in 31 Bundesliga games for Borussia Dortmund this season. Füllkrug’s consistent scoring makes him a strong contender for the Golden Boot.
Florian Wirtz: The young playmaker, Wirtz, has returned from an ACL injury to become a central figure for both Bayer Leverkusen and the national team. With 74 chances created in the Bundesliga and a record of 10+ goals and assists, Wirtz is expected to drive Germany’s creative play.
Maximilian Mittelstadt : A defensive stalwart, Mittelstadt has earned his spot through solid performances for Stuttgart. With 91 tackles and 46 interceptions in the Bundesliga, he brings defensive stability and is capable of contributing to the attack with his crossing ability.
Maximilian Beier: The rising star, Beier, has had a breakout season with Hoffenheim, scoring 16 goals in the Bundesliga. His youthful exuberance and scoring touch make him a valuable asset for Germany’s attacking options.
Tactical Analysis
Julian Nagelsmann has experimented with multiple formations in his tenure, predominantly using a 4-2-3-1 set up. This formation is likely to feature Toni Kroos and Robert Andrich as the double pivot in midfield, with Ilkay Gündogan pushing forward into the Number 10 role. The defence will see Joshua Kimmich at right-back, with Antonio Rüdiger and Jonathan Tah as the central defenders, and Maximilian Mittelstadt on the left. Manuel Neuer, if fit, will be the first-choice goalkeeper.
Further forward, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala are expected to support the central striker, likely Niclas Füllkrug, from the flanks. Kai Havertz could also be utilised as a centre forward, offering versatility in attack.

Germany’s Prospects
Despite being the third favourites, Germany’s current form casts doubt on their chances. Their 47.6% probability to reach the semi-finals indicates a strong potential run, but their path is fraught with challenges. The blend of experienced veterans and emerging talents, combined with the tactical flexibility of Nagelsmann, provides reasons for optimism.
In conclusion, Germany’s Euro 2024 campaign will be closely watched by fans eager to see their team triumph on home soil. With key players like Füllkrug and Wirtz leading the charge, and tactical acumen from Nagelsmann, Germany have the tools to succeed but will need to overcome significant hurdles along the way.
