Leading Group 3 with 10 points, Germany already secured their place in the Final 8 with a 1-0 win over the Netherlands on October 14. The Germans now need to finish the job this evening in Freiburg to secure top spot in the group.
With a view to the quarter-finals and the second qualifying ticket, the meeting between the Netherlands (2nd) and Hungary (3rd), currently tied on 5 points, will be decisive. With the two nations having shared points in the first leg in Budapest in October (1-1), whoever wins this Saturday will secure second place going into the final matchday on the basis of special “goal-average”. Bosnia, last in the group with one point, travels to Germany for the honour of the title.
