Denmark lost 1-4 to group runners-up Sweden on Monday. With a win against France on Tuesday, the German team will definitely play Switzerland in the quarter-finals on Thursday.

Even a victory for Denmark in the evening against defending champions and hosts Finland would not change that. Germany will have to do without injured Berlin striker Manuel Wiederer against the French, for whom nothing is at stake anymore. In the event of a quarter-final against Switzerland, the DEB team can build on successes from the past: the team had already prevailed against the country in 2010 and 2021.
