Correct score prediction: Germany Women 1-3 Spain Women
Spain Women have been the best team at the tournament, and it would be a surprise to see anything other than another win for Montse Tome's side. Spain have won all four of their matches by a margin of at least two goals, and although Germany are the best team they have faced so far, they showed their fragility against other top opposition in the 4-1 loss to Sweden in the group stages.

Germany Women preview: Suspension woes
Germany will be without Kathrin Hendrich and Sjoeke Nusken for this one with the pair both on the naughty step. The former was sent off in the early stages of the quarter-final with France, while the latter has picked up one too many yellow cards at the tournament. They are also missing their captain, Guilia Gwinn, through injury.
Predicted lineup: Berger (GK), Wamser, Kleinherne, Minge, Knaak, Kett, Lohmann, Brand, Senb, Buhl, Hoffmann
Spain Women preview: A near full-strength squad
After starting the tournament with a couple of injury concerns, Spain are close to being at full strength for the semi-final. The only absentee is Laia Aleixandri through suspension after the defender picked up her second yellow card of the tournament in the first half against Switzerland.
Predicted lineup: Coll (GK), Batlle, Paredes, Mendez, Olga, Bonmati, Patri, Putellas, Mariona, Gonzalez, Pina
Player to watch: Esther Gonzalez
Although most of the attention when it comes to Spain Women is on Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati in midfield, Esther Gonzalez is arguably just as important at the top of the pitch. The 32-year-old has scored four goals in four matches at the Women's Euros so far, making her the standout candidate to finish as the Golden Boot winner.
