Women’s World Cup Qualifiers Preview: Norway vs. Germany

Germany Women’s National team continue their quest to qualify for the 2027 World Cup with a tricky fixture away at Norway.

Norway host Germany on Saturday night as the Women’s World Cup qualifying campaign continues in Europe. Both teams won their opening fixtures in Group A4.

Germany produced a five-star performance against Slovenia as they recovered from their Nations League final defeat to Spain. Manchester United’s Lisa Naalsund scored Norway’s late goal in the win over Austria.

Germany are unbeaten in their last five games against Norway. Their most recent meetup was a friendly staged in Wiesbaden in 2021. DFB-Frauen came back from a goal behind to win 3-1 on that occasion.

Christian Wück could repeat his starting lineup from Monday after convincing performances from everyone involved in the game. Slovenia entertain Austria in the other game of the group on the same day.
