Germany Women’s vs Sweden Women’s – Match Preview – The tournament’s most successful ever nation will kick off their campaign on Monday against a strong Swedish side. Both titans of the women’s game in Europe, this match promises to be one of the most entertaining matches of the group stages.
The German’s have won the last six European Championships in a row dating back to 1995; a rather astounding achievement from one of the World’s most dominant sporting nations. Unsurprisingly, the Germans are favourites to lift the trophy however face a tough first test against Sweden.
Sweden were the first ever nation to win the European Championships since UEFA’s ownership of the tournament in 1984. Since that historical campaign, the Swedes have fallen just short of lifting the trophy three times; losing in the 1987, 1995 and 2001 final, the two most recent at the hands of the Germans.
