Sweden vs Germany prediction

Sweden headed to Switzerland as one of the teams believing they had a chance of winning the tournament and they have been very impressive thus far. After beginning their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Denmark, they then managed to defeat Poland by three goals to nil a few days’ later.

Eight-time winners Germany have been going through a transition since being knocked out of the group stages of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and they seem very strong again. After comfortably beating Poland by two goals to nil, they then edged past Denmark by two goals to one in their second outing.

The prize of finishing first isn’t quite as alluring for Group C, due to the so-called ‘group of death’ in Group D, but it should still be a fun watch for the neutral in this final game.
