Germany Women vs Sweden Women Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions
Germany and Sweden contest the last Women's World Cup quarter-final in Rennes.
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg's side have improved as the competition has progressed and will be targeting a third title in what looks an open tournament.
Latest Odds
Having won each of their four matches in France to reach this stage 888Sport make Germany 3/4 (1.75) favourites to come out on top.
Sweden's only defeat came against reigning champions USA but they're 4/1 (5.0) underdogs in this one. The draw trades at 5/2 (3.50) at the time of writing.
Team News
Dzsenifer Marozsan suffered a broken toe against China but could be in line for a return to action in Rennes.
Sweden boss Peter Gerhardsson has no injury or suspension worries heading into this game.
Preview
Germany have a good record against Sweden in their recent head-to-head meetings. The two-time champions have won four of the last five meetings including their last 16 clash four years ago.
While it's taken a while for Voss-Tecklenburg's team to click in the final third, their defensive showings have been impeccable.
The only team yet to concede a goal in the competition, Germany have allowed just six shots on target in four games thus far.
Backing "no" in the both teams to score market pays just 3/5 (1.60) though, which may prove too short for most punters to consider as a single wager.
Predictions
Sweden will find it difficult to break down the team ranked second in the world and appear likely to fall short in Rennes.
With that in mind, it's tough to look past Germany winning this game and at 3/4 (1.75) they look a solid wager.
It could pay dividends to be more aggressive here though. Germany -1 is 21/10 (3.10) with 888Sport and given their solid backline, that is the best bet here. This selection requires the chosen team to win the match by two clear goals, something Germany have achieved in their last two matches.
The favourites have looked better with every passing game and should have enough to secure a comfortable victory against a side they’ve regularly gotten the better of.
