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

On Friday, July 4th, 2025, the women's teams from Germany and Poland will face each other in the Kybunpark in St. Gallen. This match marks the start of the preliminary round of the 2025 Women's European Championship, which is under special observation. Kick-off is at 9:00 p.m. and viewers can look forward to an exciting broadcast - both on television on ARD and DAZN 1 as well as in the stream via DAZN, the ARD media library or Joyn. The ARD will start the broadcast 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 Denmark vs. Sweden game will take place at 6:00 p.m., which will also heat up the fans' minds.

Germany goes into the race as the clear favorite. The betting odds are promising: a win for the German team is 1.03, while a draw is 13.0 and a win for Poland is 29.0. It's not just the odds that speak for the German title contender, but also the remarkable performances from the Nations League. Coach Horst Hrubesch's team was able to shine with clear results such as 6:0 against Austria and 4:0 against the Netherlands. However, there are some setbacks in the squad: Nicole Anyomi has knee problems, Felicitas Rauch is only used when called upon, and Lena Oberdorf has torn a cruciate ligament. Sara Doorsoun has also announced her resignation.

Poland's outstanding form

But you shouldn't underestimate the Polish team. Poland had an excellent Nations League season in which they remained unbeaten and most recently beat Ukraine 4-0. With 10 wins and 1 draw from the last 11 international matches, they have done well, even though they mostly played against weaker opponents. Germany have won the last six meetings against Poland in the recent past, with the last meeting in June 2024 ending in a 3-1 win for Germany. The German team has never scored fewer than four goals in the last five international matches - an impressive record that only underlines their role as favorites.

A successful start to the European Championship!

For fans who want to bet on the players' stakes, Betano offers a betting odds of 1.62 for Germany to win with a handicap of -2. With seven players from FC Bayern in the European Championship squad, Germany appears to be well positioned. Even though injury problems have hit the team, their 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-Riikka Korpela from Finland, and the youngest, Kinga Seweryn from Poland, bring an interesting dynamic into the game. The competition promises many exciting encounters and record attempts - a high summer for women's football!

Whatever the outcome of the game, one thing is certain: the expectations of the German team are high. With a self-confident demeanor, they could lay the foundation for a successful European Championship. Stay tuned and enjoy 4th of July football!
