    Germany 0-0 Austria

    Almost a huge moment for Austria. They win the ball and Julia Hickelsberger-Fuller flicks the ball past a defender before poking her shot at the keeper.

    You can see the number of players who Austria will commit forward. If they've got possession where they feel safe they will throw players forward. Germany will be aware of that. You can see Germany there when they won back possession they were looking straight up the pitch, we saw that a lot against Spain.

    For Germany, it's important to have their big players back in and the experienced players. They know how to handle moments when they don't necessary have momentum that helps the team to reset into their style of play.

    Early knock for German Marina Hegering but she gets some treatment and she's OK.

    Germany know that Austria like to get their full-backs forward so straight away the wide players are pressing them, making sure they've not got that clear sight for the pass forward.

    Positive start from Germany. Already dynamic and playing forward really early. Trying to effect this Austrian backline.

    Germany 0-0 Austria

    Alexandra Popp has scored in all three of Germany’s games at Euro 2022 so far.

    Only one player has scored in four consecutive appearances at the Women’s Euros - the late Heidi Mohr, also for Germany, between 1989 and 1993.

    Popp has scored the goals but Magull has been the key player for Germany. She gets in areas that supports the wide players and it does cause problems for teams.

    Only three of the Austrian squad have never played for a German team. Fourteen of their squad currently do (with nine of the starting XI today), with another six having done so before.

    Under way in Brentford. Will this game go to the form book or not?

    I think Austria have shown what hard work and organisation does. There's a little bit of swagger about them. I do think they're the underdogs and happy with being underdogs as well.

    I think Germany along with England have been imperious. They've adapted and their game plans have been perfect.

    I think Austria fancy themselves against this German team. They have a lot of players in the German league, they understand how they like to play so I think they fancy themselves a little bit.

    For me, I think the Germans will be far too strong for this Austrian team but it will be a really good game.

    For Germany, they'll feel that they are playing at home as they have played here [Brentford] so many times. They will feel more confident going into this game. Germany will look to start this game very strongly.

    I think Austria have to be organised. When you play a German team as good as they are you have to be organised for long periods. If they are in an organised shape and they win the possession back then Zadrazil's the one who'll be able to carry them up the pitch. I think she's key for this Austria team today.

  20. 'Having Euros in England is very special'published at 19:56 British Summer Time 21 July 2022

    Germany v Austria (20:00 BST)

    Austria goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger is enjoying the experience of playing the Euros in England.

    The 26-year-old plays for Arsenal.

    "Having the Euros in England, where women's football was born, is a very special event," she said.

    "The atmosphere in the stadiums, the fans, and the way the teams have continued to develop, is unbelievable.

    "The exciting thing about it is that the fans are really close. When you play the ball out from the back and plan to score, you are under the impression that the fans are right behind you. The feeling is unbelievable.

    "It lifts morale and creates a special atmosphere in the stadium, and this is priceless. I really like that. You can really see what football means to this country. It is great to feel it in this tournament too."
