For Germany, the last group game at the Women's European Championship is against Finland.

The motto: stay in the flow.

We accompany the game in the live ticker.

• Women's European Championship: Germany - Finland |

  Saturday, 9 p.m

• The DFB women are already the group winners, but still want to continue their winning streak.

• The last group game of the German women in the live ticker.

Milton Keynes - The unfortunate migraine knocked out Martina Voss-Tecklenburg only briefly, the last compulsory exercise before the European Championship quarter-finals should not cause the national coach a headache.

After the super start against Denmark (4:0) and Spain (2:0), the sportingly meaningless group final against the eliminated team from Finland will probably be a chance for the strong second guard.

“We want to win the game and put in a good performance.

Nevertheless, we have a few failures that we have to cope with, but we can compensate for that," said Voss-Tecklenburg before the game on Saturday (9 p.m. / ZDF and DAZN) in Milton Keynes, on ARD she explained: "Everyone has it deserves to play, so it's cool that we have a position that makes that possible."

Women's EM: Germany against Finland in the role of favorites

The 54-year-old, who was absent from the morning training on Thursday due to migraine complaints, dutifully warned of the opponent without points: "Finland will want to say goodbye to this European Championship and give us nothing."

Only on Thursday (9 p.m. / ARD and DAZN) is the first knockout game against Norway or Austria for the early group winner Germany in London-Brentford.

So "MVT" wants to find the balance between relieving rotation and rhythm for their axis: "We'll manage this balancing act very well.

We will not change everything either.”

DFB women without Oberdorf and Rauch against Finland

Midfielder Lena Oberdorf and left-back Felicitas Rauch will definitely have to be replaced due to suspensions.

Lena Lattwein and the flexible Sophia Kleinherne, who is primarily at home in the defense headquarters in Frankfurt, should be the first choice here.

Lea Schüller (corona infection) is not yet available again, and neither is Sydney Lohmann (knee).

If central defender Marina Hegering, who has already received a yellow card, is rested to be on the safe side, Sara Doorsoun could make her first European Championship appearance.

At least during the game, Laura Freigang and Nicole Anyomi (all Eintracht Frankfurt) should be an option - then all field players of the "Bank of England" would have got EM minutes and security.
