Germany will win their first Euro 2016 match when they take on Ukraine.

Well, according to a prediction made by elephant Nelly at Serengeti zoo in Northern Germany, that is.

Zookeepers set up two goals next to one another, and Nelly's kick ended up in the goal marked for Ukraine, signalling a German win.

The six-year-old female elephant does not have a spotless record but her strike rate was well above 50 percent for both Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup.

Nelly is the latest in a trend of 'psychic animals' that started with German-based Paul the Octopus, who correctly predicted several outcomes in Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup.

Will Nelly emulate her eight-legged predecessor?

We won't have long to find out - her country take on Ukraine in Group C on Sunday.
