While both Sweden and Germany have secured qualification for the knockout stages, their final Group C match holds significant implications for their path forward in the tournament. The group winner will likely face reigning champions England in the quarter-finals, while the runner-up will be placed in the same half of the draw as world champions Spain.
To finish in first place, Germany must win the match. Sweden, currently leading the group on goal difference, needs only a win or a draw to secure the top spot. Kick-off is scheduled for 8pm UK time.
Sweden has made five changes to the lineup that secured a 3-0 victory over Poland. Jonna Andersson, Magdalena Eriksson, Fridolina Rolfö, Hanna Bennison, and Smilla Holmberg are all introduced to the starting eleven.
Germany has made a single change following their 2-1 win against Denmark, with Laura Freigang coming into the attack. Captain Giulia Gwinn, recovering from a medial ligament injury, is named as a substitute to support the squad.
