England entertain Germany at Wembley Stadium in a friendly as part of UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 preparation.
Having confirmed their places at next summer’s UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, this friendly represents a chance for England and Germany to start preparations on a positive note.
Team News
Lotte Wubben Moy is ruled out for England due to concussion protocols.
Fran Kirby (knock) is also sidelined but her ex Chelsea teammate, Lauren James has withdrawn from the squad due to a calf injury.
Germany will be without goalkeeper, Maria Luisa Grohs after she needed surgery on her tonsils.
When is Kick-Off?
England host Germany at Wembley Stadium, London, on Friday 25 October, at 7:30pm BST, live on ITV1 and ITVX in the UK.
Stat Attack
- England are unbeaten in three of their last five meetings against Germany in all competitions (W2, D1, L2).
- Germany have won three of their last five visits to England in all competitions (W3, L2).
- England are yet to keep a clean sheet against Germany at Wembley Stadium, having scored three goals and conceded six goals in three previous clashes.
- Alessia Russo has scored in two of England’s three home games in 2024.
- Germany have kept just one clean sheet in their last five away games (W3, L2).
Prediction
Safely assured of their place at next summer’s Euros, England now need to continue their strong year but focus more on shoring up their leaky defence which has conceded in 13 of their last 17 games in all competitions.
Germany though will be difficult opposition given that they are back on the up but have won just one of four games in 2024 against FIFA’s top five-ranked countries, whilst clean sheets on the road have been rare.
Nevertheless, England can’t afford to underestimate Germany who has a habit of scoring at Wembley, so this should be close and a draw might be the safest call.
Prediction: England 1-1 Germany
Result: England 3-4 Germany
