Kick-off Time: 7 P.M. GMT

Venue: Letzigrund Stadium

The fight of the elites set to take place on UEFA Women's Euros 2025 semi-final matchday 2 as the Germany Women's National Football Team takes on the Spain Women's National Football Team head-on at Letzigrund Stadium. Let us take a look at the Germany vs Spain Preview. While Die Nationalelf have shown their grit and unwavering will to fight throughout the tournament, La Roja have also displayed beautiful football that executed the vision of their manager, Montse Tome. This meeting has previously have always left a bitter taste for the La Roja as they are yet to get their first ever victory over the Germany Women's National Football Team.

Between the two elites, the Germany Women's National Football Team had the tougher time in their quarter-final tie against France, especially after Kathrin Hendrich's red card booking at the 13th minute. It gave the France Women's National Football Team a great advantage, something which they capitalized on as they scored two minutes later of that red card booking. However, the Die Nationalelf had the answer as a first-half substitution changed the tone of the game and inspired the equalizer from Sjoeke Nusken. However, there was no winner decided in the normal 90 minutes, and the game extended to extra time, where the story was the same. It was the penalty shoot-out that punched the semi-finals ticket for the Germany Women's National Football Team, with Sjoeke Nusken scoring the deciding kick at the end.

On the other hand, the La Roja ensured a convincing 2-0 victory over the Switzerland Women's National Football Team. While the game was up for grabs for either side even after the 45 minutes, it was the magical sub from Montse Tome, Athenea del Castillo, who found the inspiration to give her team the lead after coming in at the game on 66th minute. Her lead was then doubled by Claudia Pina after 5 minutes.

Given the stakes of the match, the fixture promises end-to-end action, where it will be a battle of discipline against dynamic transition. While Die Nationalelf have their player in-form, Sjoeke Nusken, who can set the tempo of the game and can even contribute with her goal-scoring attributes, La Roja have their in-form number 9, Esther Gonzalez, on their side, who is leading the top scorer chart of UEFA Women's Euros 2025.

Even though the Germany Women's National Football Team never tasted defeat at the hands of the Spain Women's National Football Team, they have to show unwavering discipline and tenacity to keep the Spanish army at bay. Let us take a look at the Team News and Germany vs Spain Prediction.

Germany Women's National Football Team News

For the Germany Women's National Football Team, there are a few changes necessary. The captain, Giulia Gwinn, is still out with her knee injury (even though she made the bench last time). While her replacement, Wamser, had a one-match ban that she served as she was unavailable during the quarter-final tie, she will be back to take her spot against the Spain Women's National Football Team.

Moreover, Kathrin Hendrich will be unavailable after receiving a red card in the Germany Women's National Football Team's last game. In addition to that, Sarai Linder will also miss the squad in their semi-final tie. However, Nusken, Buhl, and Schuller are all expected to retain their spot.

Spain Women's National Football Team News

As expected, Olga Carmona and Ona Batlle both started the game against the Switzerland Women's National Football Team after they were dropped from the match before that. Given the stakes, both of them are expected to retain their positions. The Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati will be the key in the midfield from the kick-off whistle.

On the other hand, Alexia Putellas will also retain her spot in the midfield of the Spain Women's National Football Team's 4-3-3. The jury is out whether we will see Caldentey begin the game on the wings. However, the leading goal-scorer of the tournament, Esther Gonzalez, will lead the team from the front. Claudia Pina is also expected to retain her spot on the left wing.

Germany vs Spain Head-to-Head Record

In the total of seven times these two faced each other, the Germany Women's National Football Team were victorious four times and they drew their fixtures three times, with the Spain Women's National Football Team yet to register a win against the Die Nationalelf. Here are the head-to-head records of their last five matches:

Key Players to watch in Germany vs Spain

Sjoeke Nusken (Germany)

So far in the competition, Sjoeke Nusken has played four matches and scored twice. She managed a total of 377 minutes and maintained a total of 74.75% passing accuracy. Such numbers speak of how lethal she can be for her team when it comes to scoring and playmaking. However, her amazing form this year has started with Chelsea, where she had nine direct contributions in 36 appearances across all competitions, in addition to her phenomenal ball progression and passing stats.

Esther Gonzalez (Spain)

The number 9 of the Spain Women's National Football Team has been decisive for the La Roja so far. In the four matches she played, she scored a total of four goals, while maintaining 89.75% passing accuracy. Safe to say her days of playing as an attacking midfielder stayed with her in her new role. She managed a total of 230 minutes, which is less considering how marquee a player she is. On the other hand, it shows how lethal she is that the Gotham FC forward managed to net 4 goals in 230 minutes. While the number 9 has managed only 13 appearances for NJ/NY Gotham FC this season, she scored 10 times, showing her goal-scoring prowess to the world.

Germany vs Spain Prediction

Even though records say it will be all the Germany Women's National Football Team, the Spain Women's National Football Team's dominance in the UEFA Euros 2025 says otherwise.

Both of these teams had different battles in the tournament, with the Germany Women's National Football Team missing their leader and other notable players in the squad, and the Spain Women's National Football Team failing to find the perfect solidity in their line-up, given that La Roja have set the bar too high for themselves.

It will be a match decided within the normal 90 minutes. While the Germany Women's National Football Team have their star midfielder Sjoeke Nusken, who will be an asset in their match against La Roja, the likes of Esther Gonzalez, Claudia Pina, and Aitana Bonmati are ready to shred through the German discipline at the back, ensuring the Spain Women's National Football Team reaches the final.

Predicted Score: Germany 0-2 Spain.
