Euro 2022's group of death will draw to a conclusion on Saturday as table-topping Germany look to make it three wins from three against Finland, who cannot qualify for the quarter-finals.

The Nationalelf have enjoyed a fine tournament so far, thumping Denmark 4-0 in their opening game before defeating much-fancied Spain 2-0 in an impressive defensive display on Tuesday.

Finland have predictably found things more difficult in a very tough group, with a narrow loss at the hands of the Danes knocking them out after La Roja beat them 4-1 in their first match.

Finland team news

Although head coach Anna Signeul likes to field a fairly settled side in a 4-4-2, she will be without three players due to illness: Anna Westerlund, Tuija Hyyrynen and goalkeeping captain Tinja-Riikka Korpela.

Winger Adelina Engman is also a doubt with a thigh issue so expect plenty of changes.


Germany team news

Germany are through to the quarter-finals and guaranteed top spot in Group B, so there will likely be some rotation here.

Impressive midfielder Lena Oberdorf and full-back Felicitas Rauch both picked up yellow card suspensions against Spain, while the former's central colleague Lina Magull will likely be rested as she struggles with a recurring hamstring issue.

Finland vs Germany score prediction

Germany look formidable both in attack and defence and will be keen to see out the group stage with a 100% record.

Although Finland will want to bow out with their heads held high, they will be missing three important players which will make this assignment all the more tough.

Football is a simple game. 22 women chase the ball for 90 minutes and in the end, the Germans always win.

Score prediction: Finland 0-5 Germany
