DFB women: Showdown against Austria – last chance before the European Championship!
In the exciting duel between Austria and Germany, the two women's football teams meet today at the Franz Horr Stadium in Vienna. The game, which kicks off at 8:30 p.m., is not only the last group game in the UEFA Women's Nations League, but also of great importance for the hostesses. Austria is currently in third place in Group 1 with six points, while the DFB team leads the group with 13 points and has already qualified for the Final Four.
The first leg between the two teams ended with a clear 4-1 win for Germany. National coach Christian Wück's players have a perfect record against Austria: they achieved six wins in six games. So expectations are high, and for many players it could be the last chance to be recommended for the European Championship squad that will be nominated on June 12th. Training for the European Championships begins on June 19th in Herzogenaurach, and the first game is on July 4th against Poland.

Despite Germany being the favorite, the mood in Vienna is tense. A series of events could make the game exciting. In the final minutes of the first half, for example, the DFB team had difficulty maintaining control of the game.
