Germany enters this quarterfinal as the tournament's form team. They are the only side to have won all three group matches, showcasing both their depth and tactical balance. Even after completely rotating the squad for the final group game against England, the young Germans managed a 2-1 victory. This allowed key players like Woltemade, Paul Nebel, and Brajan Gruda to rest ahead of the knockout stages—a decision that could pay dividends given the tight schedule. The attacking firepower of the German side has been especially impressive. Nine goals from three matches make them the tournament's top scorers alongside Portugal. Woltemade leads the line with four goals and two assists, and he's been ably supported by Nebel, Gruda, and Tresoldi. While the defense hasn’t been watertight—conceding in each game—their offensive threat has more than made up for it. Italy, meanwhile, have shown more restraint but remain a serious threat. After finishing second in their group behind Spain, the Azzurrini approach this match with confidence, particularly given their strong defensive showing. Carmine Nunziata’s side conceded just once in the group stage—against Spain—but those numbers don’t tell the whole story. Both Slovakia and Romania managed to create multiple chances, and only poor finishing prevented those games from becoming more complicated for the Italians. Germany showed more and I see them winning

德国队作为比赛的主力球队进入四分之一决赛。他们是唯一一支三场小组赛全胜的球队，展示了他们的阵容深度和战术平衡。即使在小组赛最后一场对英格兰的比赛中完全轮换了阵容，年轻的德国人还是以2-1取胜。这使得像沃尔特马德、保罗·内贝尔和布拉扬·格鲁达这样的关键球员可以在淘汰赛阶段之前休息一下——考虑到紧凑的赛程，这一决定可能会带来好处。德国队的进攻火力尤其令人印象深刻。三场比赛打进9球，与葡萄牙队并列本届杯赛射手榜榜首。沃尔特马德以4球2助攻领跑锋线，他得到了内贝尔、格鲁达和特雷迪迪的有力支持。虽然防守并不是无懈可击，每场比赛都有失球，但他们的进攻威胁已经弥补了这一点。与此同时，意大利表现出了更多的克制，但仍是一个严重的威胁。在以小组第二的成绩落后于西班牙之后，蓝衣军团充满信心地迎接这场比赛，特别是考虑到他们强大的防守表现。努齐亚塔的球队在小组赛中只丢了一次球——对阵西班牙——但这些数字并不能说明一切。斯洛伐克和罗马尼亚都创造了很多机会，只是糟糕的射门让意大利人的比赛变得更加复杂。德国表现得更多，我认为他们会赢
