Germany have been ruthlessly efficient at Euro 2022 and it would be a surprise if they don’t prove too strong for Austria in the quarter-finals.
Austria have proven themselves to be resilient and well drilled defensively, but do look a little short of quality when going forward.
We like 2.1 for Die Nationalelf to win and under 3.5 goals in the game for our first Germany Women vs Austria Women prediction.
Germany Women Odds
Germany dominated this tournament between 1989 and 2013, winning eight of the nine renewals during that time, and look determined to get back on top after a quarter-final exit five years ago.
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s side struggled at this year’s inaugural Arnold Clarke Cup, finishing adrift of table toppers England and Spain, and lost a World Cup qualifier to Serbia in April.
However, everything appears to have clicked into place at just the right time, judged on their Group B exploits.
Die Nationalelf crushed Denmark 4-0, upset pre-tournament favourites Spain 2-0 and then eased past Finland 3-0 as we predicted at 6.25!
Two of those victories came at Brentford Community Stadium, so appearing at that venue again is seen as an advantage.
On tackling Austria next up, Voss-Tecklenburg said: “We are really looking forward to this match.
“It won’t be an easy one at all – it’s a quarter-final at the Euros and Austria are deservedly there. We are favourites but we have to fulfil that.
“There are a lot of great teams still in the race, quite a few difficult opponents. England, Spain, Germany, Austria – some great matches there.”
Captain Alexandra Popp has headed in a goal in each match so far, taking her international tally to 56 from 117 caps.
Looking at the Germany Women vs Austria Women odds, it is easy to see why the Wolfsburg striker is 4.0 to net first here.
Austria Women Odds
Austria showed plenty of spirit when only going down 1-0 to England in front of a huge crowd at Old Trafford first up.
Irene Fuhrmann’s side confirmed the promise shown by going on to beat Northern Ireland 2-0 and then edging out Norway 1-0.
On a night when a draw would have been enough to clinch the runners-up spot, Nicole Billa’s 37th-minute header gave Austria a first win over the Norwegians.
Fuhrmann said: “We went into this game saying that we wanted to play our way, using our strengths, and we’d see what happened in the end.
“It makes me incredibly proud that the players managed to give their all — they played really, really well.
“It was a fantastic performance and they managed to get through.”
Dumping twice-champions Norway out of Euro 2022 was no mean feat, although they may still have been shellshocked from an 8-0 drubbing by England.
Hoffenheim forward Billa now has 44 goals from 82 international appearances, but overall, this is not a strong attacking outfit.
We like 3.9 for Die Nationalelf to win by exactly two goals to finish off our Germany Women vs Austria Women betting tips.
