It will be a real quarterfinal clash between Germany and France on Wednesday in Herning, with Les Bleus needing a win to reach the final four of Euro 2026.

The French team suffered a heavy defeat on Monday in the third round of the main tournament. After their prolific victory against Portugal (46-38) on Saturday, which followed their last-minute defeat against the host country, Denmark (29-32), Guillaume Gille's team did not expect Spain to stand up to them. Already eliminated from the semi-finals, La Roja nevertheless showed a lot of heart and, above all, talent to outplay a pale, even unrecognizable French team. A 36-32 defeat and a disappointing performance in which Dika Mem's teammates were never able to respond to Spain's tactics during the match. As a result, the French team will have no choice but to win against Germany on Wednesday to reach the final four of Euro 2026.

Beaten by Denmark on Monday evening (26-31), the Mannschaft suffered its first defeat in the main round after winning its two previous matches against Portugal (32-30) and Norway (30-28). Alfred Gislason's team must not lose to reach the semifinals, with a draw enough for goalkeeper Andreas Wolff and his teammates. With the best goalkeeper in the competition, Germany has a strong chance of countering the best attack in the tournament.

Our Germany vs France Prediction

Semi-final mission for the French team. Stunned after their unfortunate defeat against Spain, Les Bleus must react or see their European dream slip away. We can expect a close match between two teams who know each other inside out. Historically, Les Bleus have often dominated Die Mannschaft in recent years (four wins in their last five official matches), and even if the task looks complicated for Guillaume Gille's men against a defensively solid German team, the French's offensive talent could make the difference in this decisive match.

Our prediction for Germany vs. France: victory for France!

France win the match
