What time is the France v Germany Euro 2020 match on? Kick off time, live stream, TV channel and predictions
France take on Germany in Group F on Tuesday with both sides eyeing the Euro 2020 trophy next month.
France versus Germany at Euro 2020 feels like it could be a final, let alone among the opening Euro 2020 fixtures of their tournament.
Both sides are steeped in success having each won the European Championships and World Cup over the course of the last 25 years.
Now they will lock horns in the designated Group of Death knowing that a blow-out victory for either would shake up the whole tournament and route to the final.
The French won the World Cup three years ago and appear to be a good shout to add another European title to their hoard this summer, while Germany are eyeing their fourth triumph in this competition.
France beat Germany 2-0 at the Euros five years ago on their run to the final, while it was the Germans who edged their neighbours 1-0 two years previous as they went on to win the World Cup.
With Portugal and Hungary still to come for both sides in Group F, winning this encounter is not an absolute must, but it could be used as a major signal of intent should either topple the other.

France v Germany team news
France: Didier Deschamps is likely to play a 4-3-3 formation with Karim Benzema leading the line and Mbappe and Griezmann either side of the striker.
Raphael Varane and Presnel Kimpembe could sit in central defence, although Kurt Zouma is pushing for a start. N’Golo Kante will almost certainly play in midfield, alongside Paul Pogba and potentially Moussa Sissoko.
Germany: Joachim Low could opt for a three-man defensive line here with wing-backs that provide cover when required. Thomas Muller should start up front but will need support from Germany’s playmakers.
Ilkay Gundogan, Havertz and Serge Gnabry will be tasked with carrying the ball forward but also doing the backtracking to help block this mesmerising French side.

Our prediction: France v Germany
Germany usually impress at international tournaments but France look to be perfectly placed to win the Euros this summer – starting with a victory over their neighbours.

Mbappe could well steal the headlines here but the midfield of Pogba, Kante and Sissoko is where France will win this game. Kante in particular is Les Bleus’ most important player as he covers ground when not in possession and is always there to break up opposition moves.
Granted, Germany have the likes of Havertz and Werner to call upon but individual brilliance may not be enough. Deschamps should get his Euros campaign off to a winning start.
Our prediction: France 2-1 Germany (10/1 at bet365)
