Germany vs Sweden: Women’s Euro 2025 Group C Decider – Preview, Team News & Predicted Lineups
Group C comes down to a heavyweight clash between two tournament giants
Women’s Euro 2025 continues to deliver thrilling matchups, and Sunday’s Group C finale between Germany and Sweden promises to be one of the highlights of the group stage. Both sides have already booked their spots in the quarter-finals, but with first place on the line, this is far from a dead rubber.
A Clash of Champions
- Germany, the eight-time European champions, have been dominant scoring five goals in the second half across wins over Poland and Denmark.
- Sweden, winners of the inaugural tournament, also arrive unbeaten, narrowly defeating Denmark before easing past tournament debutants Poland.
With Sweden holding the superior goal difference, Germany must win to top the group raising the stakes considerably.
Will Coaches Rotate?
Head coach Christian Wück may be tempted to field a full-strength side, given the importance of maintaining momentum. A repeat of Germany’s perfect group stage in Euro 2022 is still in reach.
Sweden, too, have a flawless record of always reaching the knockout stage in their Women’s Euros history. With the top spot up for grabs, both managers are expected to resist mass rotation unlike the full XI change Germany made in the U21 Euros recently.
