A brand new (at least) Germany Team managed to come out as 3rd in Group C, it was possible mostly thanks to Netherlands exit from the NC. Jungleboy's team could even have reached a higher spot in last match week against AUT-HU but didn't get further then a draw and had to settle with a good 3rd place.
Portugal on the other hand didn't have an easy time against Team France who kind of smashed them. Excluding that match, Tortugas managed to win against the SA Brasilian cousins and the remaining opponents in Group A (Canada, Colombia and UK) gaining a well deserved second place in Group A and securing a spot in the playoff tree.
Team Germany looks like the underdog of this match since their main gametype is TS and their main map is Austria and we all know that if you put Austria and TS together against Portugal you will surely have a very tough evening. That's probably why Merkel's fanboys picked Abbey TS, trying to get the advantage of a surprise map. Portugal gets the role of favourite of this match although they are not in their best possible shape, they still seem very confident and decided to pick Tohunga TS.
The winner of this match will face the powerful Australian team.
