England vs Germany prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Women's Euro 2022 final

The stage is set for the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 final at a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Sunday as hosts England lock horns against eight-time champions Germany.

No two teams deserved to be in the title-decider more than England and Germany, as both teams had pretty much flawless runs into the final. England eased past Sweden 4-0 in their semi-final fixture while Germany bested France 2-1 in their semi-final tie.

The game will be a repeat of the 2009 final when Germany and England squared off at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki. Germany thrashed the Lionesses 6-2 to secure their fifth title on the spin and England will be out for revenge here.

England have finished as runners-up twice in the competition in 1984 and 2009 and will be hoping that the third time's the charm given their home advantage. Germany are the most successful team in the competition and in their first appearance in the final since 2013, will be looking to retake their status as the European champions.

England vs Germany Prediction

England have outscored the Germans 20-13 in their path to the final, while both teams have conceded only one goal thus far. Though the previous record favors Germany, England made quick work of Sweden in the semi-finals, who also had a similar record against them.

England have looked unstoppable in the competition and should come out on top in what looks set to be a high-octane tie.

Prediction: England 3-2 Germany
