England vs Germany: UEFA Women's Euro 2022 final Match Preview, Predicted Line-ups and more

England vs Germany is the upcoming final match in UEFA Women's Euro 2022. The three lionesses look to create history and lift the trophy at Wembley against a familiar foe, Germany.

England vs Germany: Match Preview:

Home support will be on the Lionesses' side and so too a wave of confidence after a sensational run up to this point from Sarina Wiegman's side.

They have conceded just once all tournament and a dominant 4-0 semi-final win over Sweden proved the front-line is well and truly firing. Beth Mead has six goals to her name, while Alessia Russo has four despite starting every match on the bench.

Twice England have made it to the final of a European Championship in the past, in 1984 and 2009. On both occasions they fell at the final hurdle.

That is direct contrast to the eight European titles Germany have to their name - only twice since 1987 have they not been in the final. Like Mead, Alexandra Popp has found the back of the net six times and the pair will battle for the Golden Boot.

Like England, Germany have won every one of their matches at Euro 2022 so far, and head to Wembley with full belief that they can spoil the Lionesses' party.

England vs Germany: Head to Head:

England vs Germany have played a total of 12 matches against each other in the past. Of these 12 outings, the Lionesses have managed just two wins while Germany have come out on top on six occasions. As many as four matches have been drawn.

Team News:

England:

Once again Wiegman's faith in her starting XI will be tested. Russo continues to shine off the bench and while that has led to calls for her to replace Ellen White in the team, the Lionesses could opt to keep her in that super-sub role.

Keira Walsh went off against Sweden late on with cramp but is expected to be fine to start again, while Rachel Daly is likely to get the nod at left-back over Alex Greenwood.

Germany:

Germany seemingly suffered no injury problems in their semi-final win over France.

The big concern for them will be Klara Buhl, who missed that match with Covid. She will need to produce a negative test in the coming days if she is to feature at Wembley.
