Germany team news: Gwinn gone for Germany

Germany will have to make at least one change for their clash with Denmark as key and experienced right-back Giulia Gwinn has been ruled out for the tournament, after she suffered a serious knee injury in their opening clash with Poland.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Berger; Wamser, Minge, Knaak, Linder; Senss, Nusken; Brand, Dallmann, Buhl; Schueller

Unavailable: Gwinn (Injured)

Denmark team news: Fully fit

Unlike Germany, Denmark have a fully fit and available squad for this one, so they will be able to name an unchanged eleven if they so choose to do so. Against tough opposition, the Danish will also likely stick with a back five.

Predicted XI (3-5-2): Ostergaard; Faerge, Ballisager Pedersen, Veje; Thogersen, Thomsen, Holmgaard, Snerle, Holmgaard; Vangsgaard, Harder

Key stats

  • Germany and Denmark have met four times previously in UEFA Women’s EURO final tournaments with each team winning twice. The most recent encounter being on Matchday 1 of the 2022 finals when Germany recorded a 4-0 victory, thus avenging a 2-1 defeat against Denmark in the quarter-finals of the 2017 edition. The other meetings were a 2-0 success for Germany in the 1997 group stage and a 3-1 win for Denmark in the match for third place in 1993.
  • The last two international matches between the teams were in the UEFA Women’s Nations League in 2023 when a 2-0 home win for Denmark was followed by a 3-0 victory on home soil for Germany.
  • Denmark have lost four of their last five UEFA Women’s EURO final tournament matches (W1).
  • An appearance for Nadia Nadim would see her break the record for most Women’s EURO final tournament appearances for Denmark. She is currently tied with Katrine Pedersen on 18. Katrine Veje is poised to move onto 18 appearances.
  • Germany have won their last six international matches.
  • Germany have only lost four of their 47 Women’s EURO final tournament matches (W37 D6).
  • Germany have lost only one of their 22 Women’s EURO final tournament group stage matches (W17 D4). That was a 1-0 defeat against Norway at Women’s EURO 2013. They have currently won six in a row, the most recent five without conceding a goal.
  • Germany have kept 17 clean sheets in their 22 Women’s EURO final tournament group stage matches. They have never conceded more than one goal in a group match at the finals.
  • Germany have only failed to score in four of their 47 Women’s EURO final tournament matches.
  • Germany's second goal against Poland was their 50th in group stages at Women's EURO final tournaments - they are the first team to reach the landmark
  • Three members of Denmark’s squad currently play for German clubs – Pernille Harder and Stine Ballisager with Bayern München, and Cornelia Kramer with Bayer Leverkusen.
  • Harder previously played in Germany with Wolfsburg (2017-20), while Karen and Sara Holmgaard both had a spell with Turbine Potsdam (2021/22 and 2021-23 respectively), where Germany’s Selina Cerci was a team-mate.

  • Germany’s Sara Däbritz played at Paris Saint-Germain alongside Denmark’s Nadia Nadim and Signe Bruun (2019-21), and with Bruun at Lyon (2022/23).
  • Germany’s Rebecca Knaak was a Swedish Damallsvenskan champion with Rosengård alongside Denmark’s Isabella Obaze, Katrine Veje and Sofia Bredgaard in 2022. Knaak and Bredgaard also won the 2024 title with the Malmö-based club.

Germany vs Denmark prediction

Germany endured a shock group stage exit from the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, but the runners’ up of this tournament from three years ago have been much-improved of late. They began their tournament in controlled and comfortable fashion, too, as they eventually cruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Poland the other day.

They now face a Denmark side that will believe they have a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages, but they simply have to at least avoid defeat in this one against the Germans. The Danes began the 2025 UEFA Women’s Championship with a slender 1-0 loss to neighbours Sweden in a low quality affair at the weekend.

Denmark are unlikely to be able to take the game to Germany, so it will be a case of Germany forcing the issue and they should get over the line without having to worry too much.

Germany vs Denmark tip: Germany to win to nil
