Germany Women begin their UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 campaign on Friday in St. Gallen with a Group A clash against tournament debutants Poland. As eight-time champions, Germany enter the competition with high expectations, while Poland are hoping to make history in their first major international tournament.

TEAM NEWS

Germany

Coach Christian Wück is expected to name a strong side with Rebecca Knaak and Janina Minge forming the central defensive partnership. Giulia Gwinn and Franziska Kett should take up full-back roles, while Bayern Munich striker Lea Schuller leads the line, aiming to score in her fourth straight appearance. She’ll be supported by Jule Brand, Klara Bühl and Laura Freigang, with Selina Cerci pushing for a starting spot on the wing.

Poland

Poland’s preparations took a hit with the withdrawal of Martyna Brodzik, replaced by Malgorzata Mesjasz. Paulina Dudek will anchor the backline alongside Emilia Szymczak, while captain Ewa Pajor carries the goal-scoring burden up front after an incredible 42-goal season with Barcelona. Klaudia Slowinska and Martyna Wiankowska are expected to start as full-backs.

Prediction

Germany Women 3–0 Poland Women

Germany enter the match in electric form, having scored 24 goals in their last five games. With superior experience and attacking firepower, they are strong favourites to cruise past a spirited but inexperienced Poland side in Friday’s tournament opener.
