Tuesday at noon ET, England will take on Germany in the Round of 16 at Euro 2020. The match will be played at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Below, we preview the England vs. Germany odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.
The two European powerhouses have both been among the top favorites to win the tournament. The winner will take on the victor of Ukraine and Sweden in Tuesday’s second match.
Germany is coming in off a 4-2 thrashing Portugal, a 2-2 draw against Hungary and 1-0 loss to France in the group stage. The match against Portugal showed the German’s dominance. F Thomas Muller and MF Toni Kroos, along with GK Manuel Neuer will have to keep in top form to down home-sided England.
The English have a star-studded attack with F Harry Kane, and wingers Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford. They’ll pose a real threat to the great and experienced German side.
Despite winning Group D, England scored just 2 goals in three games. England has yet to concede a goal and this will be the first true threat. Germany and England are 12th and 4th, respectively, in the FIFA World Rankings.

Prediction
Germany 2, England 1
Money line (ML)
BET on GERMANY TO ADVANCE (-105) as the best value on the “money line.”
Germany has been challenged by arguably two of the best teams in Euro 2020 so far. It destroyed Portugal while allowing only one goal on a minor yet game-changing mistake to France.
The experience of Kroos and Neuer is likely to prove too much for England, but this will be a tight match.
I wouldn’t bet to have an outright winner in regulation, but Germany to go through to the Round of 8 as a slight underdog is a good value, especially considering how tamed Kane has been so far this tournament.
Over/Under (O/U)
PASS on the total despite the Under 2.5 (-135) offering reasonable value.
England played 14th-ranked Croatia in the group stage and won 1-0. Germany played second-ranked France and lost 0-1. The beat down of Portugal was Germany’s best collection of play.
With Kroos and MF İlkay Gündoğan should dominate the middle of the field for Germany. With an elite attacking trio on the other side, this could be a high-scoring affair if England can figure out its offensive woes.
This doesn’t feel like something to put your money on as both teams have the talent to hit the Over, while neither side has truly put everything together yet.
