Austria's women: Last chance against Germany in the National League final!

Franz Horr Stadion, Wien, Österreich - Today, the Austrian women's football team plays in the last group game of the UEFA Nations League against the German national team. The kick -off is at 8:30 p.m. in the Generali Arena in Vienna. While Germany already has the first place in Group A1, Austria takes third place and needs a play-off to stay in competition. The ÖFB team has always lost in the previous six encounters against Germany.

The starting point for the Austrians is clear: In order not to further tighten the horror balance against the Germans, ÖFB team boss Alexander Schriebl pleads for an aggressive and active appearance of his team. "We have to extend the performance from the first leg a bit," said Schriebl. In the first leg in February 2023, Austria had to give up 1: 4, even though they took the lead in the third minute through a goal by Annabel Schasching.

list and expectations

Germany underpinned its dominance in the group with a clear 4-0 victory against the Netherlands and goes into the game with a lot of self-confidence. DFB team boss Christian Wück has announced that it will make four changes in the starting XI and thus give the players the chance to prove themselves. The possible use of Claudia Wenger, which could be fit again according to adductor problems, becomes particularly interesting. Marina Georgieva could also be in the starting eleven.

Sarah Zadrazil, a key player in midfield, sees the challenge in closing the gap to the best nations. "We accept the challenge and want to show that we can keep up," she emphasizes. The ÖFB team recently stopped a series of three defeats with a 1-0 victory against Scotland and goes into the duel with new confidence.

spectators and record

The game is expected to take place in front of at least 4,200 spectators, but the desired spectator record of 10,051 will probably not be reached. Despite the difficult starting point, the players are motivated to give everything against the archrival from Germany and to improve their own balance sheet.
