An interesting note - Germany has never beat Italy in a major tournament. The last time that the two sides played was at the 2006 World Cup, when Italy defeated the Germans in the semi-finals. Before that, the two sides met in some classic matches, including the 1982 World Cup final and 1970 World Cup semi-final, both of which were won by Italy.
Germany is heavily favoured to win, but Italy has history on their side.
