Germany v France | Women’s Euro 2022 semi-final preview – The latest team news, results, odds and stats

It’s Germany against France in the second semi-final of Euro 2022, with both teams impressing in the group stages. These two teams were among the favourites when Euro 2022 kicked off, and both will now be dreaming of lifting the trophy at Wembley next Sunday.  

When do Germany play France in the semi-final of Euro 2022?

Germany and France play on Wednesday, 27th July, with the second semi-final of Euro 2022 kicking off at 20:00. The game takes place at Stadium MK in Milton Keynes, a venue at which Germany have already won earlier this tournament when they beat Finland 3-0.

France, with a core of players from PSG and Lyon, have made it past the Euros quarter-finals for the first time in their history. Germany, on the other hand, are eight-time Euros winners and have cruised ominously into the semi-finals without conceding a single goal.

What are the favourites odds for Germany v France in the Euro 2022 semi-final?

This game could be a classic, and we have Germany as slight favourites to win in 90 minutes at 8/5. France have never beaten Germany in a competitive game and are 9/5 to win in 90 minutes, but this one could go all the way to extra time and penalties: a draw at the end of normal time is 21/10. 

Germany’s Alexandra Popp is one of the stories of Euro 2022: having never played in a Euros before, she has now scored in every one of Germany’s games this tournament. We have Enhanced Odds of 11/1 that Popp scores, Germany win in 90 mins and both teams score. Popp is 2/1 to score any time, with her impressive team-mate Lina Magull 8/1 to get the first of the match.

France’s attack is packed with talent but only Grace Geyoro has scored more than once so far – the dynamic midfielder is 10/1 to open the scoring against Germany. Remarkably, Wendie Renard is yet to score at Euro 2022, despite the commanding centre-back’s dominant presence from set-pieces. Renard took six shots in the quarter-final win over Netherlands – more than any other player on the pitch – and is 6/1 to break her Euro 2022 duck any time against Germany.

What is the latest Germany v France team news and injury news?

France have had to overcome a tournament-ending injury to star attacker Marie-Antoinette Katoto, and are still searching for the best combination up front. Melvine Malard is likely to get the nod alongside the superb Kadidiatou Diani and Delphine Cascarino, who boasts a fierce long-range shot. Winger Selma Bacha impressed from the bench against Netherlands and may also be given a bigger role in the semi-final.

Lea Schuller is still working her way back to fitness for Germany, but Alexandra Popp has carried the goalscoring burden up top and will surely start there against France.

Who are Germany and France’s key players?

Lena Oberdorf has been superb in midfield for Germany, with Alexandra Popp spearheading their attack. Lina Magull has contributed three goals and an assist from her midfield role, while Klara Buhl and Svenja Huth have been instrumental in Germany’s high press.

France boast perhaps the greatest range of attacking talent in the whole tournament – even without the injured Marie-Antoinette Katoto. Kadidiatou Diani has terrified defenders so far with her direct running, while Delphine Cascarino is a huge threat cutting inside from the left. At the back, Wendie Renard and Griedge Mbock have been almost unbeatable. 

Who do the winners of Germany v France play next at Euro 2022?

The winners of Germany v France will progress to the final of Euro 2022 at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, 31st July. The game will kick off in front of a huge sell-out crowd at Wembley at 17:00. Germany or France will face the winners of Sweden and England.

What are the odds on Germany or France to win Euro 2022?

Germany are 5/2 to win Euro 2022, with France slightly behind at 11/4. Both teams have been impressive so far and will fancy their chances against England or Sweden should they reach the final. In the race for the Golden Boot, Germany’s Alexandra Popp is 5/1 having scored in every game so far. France’s Grace Geyoro is third-favourite to finish as top-scorer at 9/1.
