Germany Women news

Despite scoring against Finland, Kleinheme is expected to be replaced in the Germany squad by Felicitas Rauch, who will return to slot in at left-back after serving a one-game suspension.

Lena Oberdorf also served a one-game suspension due to yellow card accumulation, but she is set to feature in the starting lineup.

Austria Women news

Austria are hoping that Viktoria Schnaderbeck can overcome a knee problem to continue her centre-back partnership with Carina Wenninger.

Should Schnaderbeck be fit enough to take her place in the squad, the Fuhrmann could name an unchanged lineup for the quarter-finals, while Katharina Naschenweng is set to return to the side.

Prediction and Odds

Germany head into the contest having been in impressive form over the course of their three matches at the tournament, giving them the upper hand in the tie.

Although we expect Austria to compete with their opponents, we think Germany will have enough quality to claim victory and progress to the semi-finals.
