Germany suffered a 1-0 loss to France in their first match of Euro 2020, and the coach feels their rough start will work in their favour

Joachim Low is not concerned about Germany's imperfect start to Euro 2020, saying teams that win their first two matches of a tournament rarely go all the way.

Germany were beaten by France in their opening match of the competition, but recovered to defeat Portugal 4-2 on Saturday.

Low's team are looking to avoid a repeat of their group stage elimination at the last World Cup, and Low feels his side are in good shape after two matches.
