Italy take on Germany in the first leg of the 2024-2025 UEFA Nations League quarter-finals at the San Siro in Milan. The heated encounter will take place on Thursday (21/3) at 1:15 AM IST.

Germany reached the quarter-finals in impressive fashion after topping Group A3 unbeaten, while hosts Italy finished runners-up in Group A2.

Despite finishing second to France, Italy were impressive throughout the competition, winning four of their five games before losing to France.

This will be a chance for Italy to avenge their defeat at the hands of Germany in their last Nations League meeting in 2022. After a 1-1 draw at home, Italy were hammered 5-2 on German soil.

Since losing to Spain at Euro 2024, Germany are unbeaten in their last six UEFA Nations League matches. Not only that, but Der Panzer are averaging three goals per game.
