Germany vs. Poland: Women's European Championship starts with a large football duel!

On Friday, July 4, 2025, the women's teams from Germany and Poland face each other in the Kybunpark in St. Gallen. This match marks the start for the preliminary round of the European women's European Championship 2025, which is under special observation. The kick-off is at 9:00 p.m., and the spectators can look forward to an exciting transmission-both on television at ARD and DAZN 1 and in the stream about DAZN, the ARD Mediathek or Joyn. The ARD will start the transmission after the Tagesschau at 8:15 p.m., moderated by Claus Lufen and accompanied by expert Almuth Schult and commentator Bernd Schmelzer. Before the duel between Germany and Poland, the game Denmark against Sweden takes place at 6:00 p.m., which will also heat the minds of the fans.

Germany goes into the race as a clear favorite. The betting odds are promising: a victory of the German team is quoted at 1,03, while a tie is 13.0 and a victory for Poland at 29.0. Not only the odds speak for the German title candidate, but also the remarkable achievements from the Nations League. The team of coach Horst Hrubesch was able to shine with clear results such as 6-0 against Austria and 4-0 against the Netherlands. Nevertheless, there are some setbacks in the squad: Nicole Anyomi has squashed, Felicitas Rauch is only used on call, and Lena Oberdorf has contracted a cruciate ligament tear. Sara Doorsoun also explained her resignation.

Poland outstanding form

But you shouldn't underestimate the Polish team. Poland played an excellent Nations League season in which they remained undefeated and finally defeated Ukraine 4-0. With 10 wins and 1 draw from the last 11 international matches, they did well, although they mostly competed against weaker opponents. Germany has won the last six duels against Poland in the recent past, with the last meeting in June 2024 ending with a 3-1 win for Germany. The German team has never scored less than four goals in the last five international matches - an impressive balance that only underpins the role of favorites.

a successful EM start!

For the fans who want to bet on the players, there is a betting odds of 1.62 at Betano for a victory in Germany with Handicap -2. Germany seems to be well positioned with seven players from FC Bayern in the European Championship squad. Even if the injury problems have hit the team, the current form is determined and stable.

With a view to the statistics of this European Championship, the starting signal has already been given in other places: Both the oldest nominated player, Tinja-Rikka Korpela from Finland, as well as the youngest, Kinga Seryn from Poland, bring an interesting dynamic into play. The competition promises many exciting encounters and record attempts - a summer for women's football!

Whatever the game will go out, it is certain: the expectations of the German team are high. With a self-confident appearance, you could lay the foundation for a successful European Championship. Stay tuned and enjoy football on July 4th!
