Women’s Euro 2025: Germany’s Frauenteam are Out to Assert Their Dominance

Germany vs Poland

Germany’s Frauenteam is on a mission heading into Women’s Euro 2025, as they plan to return to winning ways after coming up short the last time. Christian Wuck’s women will open their campaign against Poland in St. Gallen on Friday, looking to get their first win in the group stage. They are bunched with Poland, Denmark, and Sweden, and many pundits believe Germany should be able to claim one of the Top 2 spots in Group C comfortably.

On the other hand, Poland are competing at a major international competition for the first time in the national team program’s 44-year history this week. The Eaglesses went through the qualifier play-off gauntlet to make it here, and Nina Patalon’s women aim to make some noise in their first try.

The pregame SBOTOP betting odds expect Germany to have it easy against Poland, but a win for the latter would send shockwaves throughout Europe.

 

Talking Points

Germany will rely on their collective experience

Germany have gotten younger than in the last Euros, but they will have several notable names on the roster, filled with significant experience in club and international football. Full-back Giulia Gwinn will captain the squad, despite only turning 26 yesterday, and she’ll be joined by Rebecca Knaak, Janina Minge, and Franziska Kett at the back. Germany’s likely four-woman backline has combined for 91 caps.

Head coach Christian Wuck won’t have Alexandra Popp, who announced her retirement from international football last year after a 14-year stint with the Frauenteam. Popp’s departure opens a massive opportunity for Lea Schuller to take the reins in the final third, and the Bayern Munich forward is looking to score in a fourth consecutive match after netting five goals in her last three games for club and country. Schuller will have Laura Freigang, Selina Cerci, and Klara Buhl, who combine for 115 caps, behind her.

Wuck will likely stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation. Elisa Senß and Sydney Lohmann, with 50 caps combined, will likely form the team’s midfield double-pivot. Sara Dabritz (108 caps) and Linda Dallmann (67 caps) can come off the bench when needed.

 

Poland are happy to be here

Just being in the Women’s Euros is a triumph for Poland, and anything they get beyond that – a first point or a maiden victory – would be gravy. This could work to their advantage since they can play freely without having to meet lofty expectations. 

Nina Patalon’s side are in superb form heading into the tournament opener, as they are coming off a 4-0 friendly result against Ukraine, extending their undefeated run to 11 matches (W10, D1) across all competitions.

Ewa Pajor will undoubtedly be Poland’s main attacking protagonist. The Eaglesses captain scored 42 goals for Barcelona last season, and she’s already Poland’s career scoring leader at the age of 28 (68 goals in 101 caps).

Besides Pajor, Germany must also have Emilia Szymczak on their scouting report, as the 19-year-old playmaker is such a handful to deal with in the middle of the park.

 

History

Friday marks the first-ever Women’s Euros clash between Germany and Poland, since the latter is competing here for the first time. However, these two proud nations have already faced off.

Germany beat Poland twice in last year’s Women’s Euro 2025 qualifying group stage with an aggregate score of 7-2. The Frauenteam finished at the top of Group A4 with 15 points, while the Eaglesses were relegated to League B after going scoreless with six consecutive losses. Poland qualified for the Euros for the first time by beating Romania (6-2) and Austria (2-0) in the succeeding play-off matches.

Germany are the winningest side in the Women’s Euros with eight titles, including an astounding six-peat from 1995 to 2013. In Women’s Euro 2022, they lost 2-1 to England in the final.

 

Betting Tip

As mentioned, any result besides a win against Poland is considered a disaster for Germany. The Women’s Euro 2025 odds expect nothing less from the Frauenteam, as they’re the heavy favourites at 1.02, while the Eaglesses are massive 23.00 underdogs, and a draw is at 8.40 in the 1X2 market. Furthermore, Germany are priced at 1.80 to finish at the top of Group C.

Germany will likely produce several Women’s Euro 2025 highlights while they’re at it, making alternatives such as Over 3.50 at 1.68, Over 3.75 at 1.93, and Total Goal 4-6 at 2.00 worth considering. Meanwhile, a Correct Score of 3-1 in favour of Germany – the result of their most recent encounter – could yield a solid payday of 13.00 your bet.
