Germany host Austria in Nürnberg as the qualification stage of the 2027 Women's World Cup resumes.

Germany hope to maintain their perfect Women's World Cup qualifiers record when they host bottom-placed Austria on Tuesday. The game will take place at Max-Morlock Stadion in Nürnberg.

Christian Wück's side started their campaign with nine unanswered goals against Slovenia and Norway in March's international break. Meanwhile, Austria lost both of their games by single goals.

DFB-Frauen have qualified for every tournament since its inception in 1991, but they were knocked out in the group stage in the previous edition. Austria are yet to qualify for the biggest competition in Women's football, although they managed to reach the knockout stages in both of their European championship appearances. The two teams will meet again in Austria on Saturday.

Cora Zicai returns to Germany's squad after missing the first two matches due to illness. However, all the headlines are on her Wolfsburg teammate Vivien Endemann in recent days as the 24-year-old striker is set to leave the Champions League regulars for Liverpool. Endemann scored in Germany’s first two games of the World Cup qualifying campaign, including the first goal in the emphatic 4-0 win away against a star-studded Norway side.

Predicted Lineups

Austria: El Sherif; Hanshaw, Kirchberger, Gutmann, Naschenweng; Puntigam ©; Dunst, Brunnthaler, Schasching; Billa, Hickelsberger-Fuller
