PREVIOUS MEETINGS
Sweden has faced Germany 43 times since the country was united, winning just two of the first 17 meetings. In the last eight meetings, however, there is a clear Swedish advantage, 5–1 in victories (two draws), including Swedish victory in the last three meetings. The last time the teams met was in the match for seventh place in the WC in Japan 2019, when Sweden’s 35–24 victory meant a more favorable Olympic draw and that Germany missed the chance to qualify. Bella Gulldén scored seven goals that match, Line Blom five and Jamina Roberts and Emma Lindqvist four each.
