Germany are yet to concede a goal in this tournament. They made it comfortably through Group B before taking on Austria in a quarter-final that they won 2-0, with Lina Magull and Alexandra Popp capitalizing on defensive mistakes.
France overcame Italy and Belgium before drawing with Iceland in their group. They then faced a very stern test against the Netherlands. However, even with Vivianne Miedema back for the Dutch, they couldn’t win; an extra-time penalty by Eve Perisset was enough to see France through.
Popp’s winner against Austria brings her total at Women’s Euro 2022 to four. The other goalscorer from that game, Magull, has contributed two goals and an assist in the tournament. France’s Grace Geyoro, meanwhile, is just one behind Popp with three goals.
Here's how they'll line up for the game:
Germany: Frohms, Rauch, Hegering, Hendrich, Gwinn, Dabritz, Oberdorf, Magull, Brand, Popp, Huth.
France: Peyraud-Magnin, Karchaoul, Renard, Mbock Bathy, Perisset, Toletti, Bilbault, Geyoro, Cascarino, Malard, Diani.
Germany have won this tournament an incredible eight times, but France have never before made it to the Euro semi-final stage. However, Les Bleues are currently ranked as the third best team in the world by FIFA, behind only the USA and Sweden. They've also won two of the last three matches between the two teams, including the most recent one — a 1-0 friendly victory in June 2021.

How to watch Germany vs France live streams from anywhere with a VPN
It's natural that you might want to watch the Germany vs France live stream from your home country, but what if you're not there when it's on?
Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.
For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could watch the Germany vs France live stream on BBC iPlayer, even though they're not in the U.K.
They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer or another website and watch the game.
