Since losing to host Italy in 1993, Germany has won its last six semifinal matches in the UEFA Women's European Championship and went on to take the title each time. The Germans attempt to extend the streak when they square off against France in the semifinals of the 2022 UEFA Women's Euro on Wednesday. Die Nationalelf failed to reach the semis in 2017 as they were edged 2-1 by Denmark in the quarterfinals. Germany is seeking its ninth overall title, while France is appearing in the semifinals of the tournament for the first time in its history following three straight quarterfinal exits.

Kickoff at Stadium MK in Milton Keynes, England is set for 3 p.m. ET. Germany is the +140 favorite (risk $100 to win $140) on the 90-minute money line in the latest Germany vs. France odds. France is the +185 underdog, while a regulation draw is priced at +200.

Why you should back Germany

Since suffering a 3-1 loss to England for the inaugural Arnold Clark Cup on Feb. 23, the Germans have slammed the door shut, posting five consecutive clean sheets across all competitions. Following a 7-0 triumph over Switzerland in an international friendly last month, Die Nationalelf recorded a total of nine goals over its three group-stage victories in the UEFA Women's Euro 2022  before defeating Austria 2-0 in the quarterfinals. Twelve players have registered points in the tournament, with seven netting at least one goal.

Alexandra Popp leads Germany and ranks second among all players in the 2022 UEFA Women's Euro with four goals. The 31-year-old forward has tallied in each of the team's contests, becoming the first player to score in four consecutive matches during one edition of the tournament. Midfielder Lina Magull has recorded a goal in two of her three Euro contests and three of her last four overall games with the national team.

Why you should back France

After being eliminated in the quarterfinals in each of the previous three Euros, France finally got over the hump thanks to Eve Perisset. The 27-year-old defender scored a penalty in the 102nd minute to snap a scoreless tie and help send Les Bleues into uncharted territory. France, which had a 33-9 advantage in shots and an 11-1 edge in shots on target, joined Germany, Sweden and Norway as the only teams to reach the semifinals in the Women's Euros, World Cup and Olympics.

Les Bleues likely will make early attempts to break through against Germany's staunch defense as all eight of their goals in the group stage were scored in the first half. Midfielder Grace Geyoro has produced a team-leading three of the tallies after registering a hat trick in France's tournament-opening 5-1 victory against Italy. Perisset and five others have netted one goal apiece for the French, while midfielder Clara Mateo and defender Sakina Karchaoui both have notched a pair of assists.
