Euro 2022 Group B: This year's Group of Death? 🇩🇪 🇩🇰 🇪🇸 🇫🇮 | OneFootball

Ready for another? Here’s all you need to know as Group B gets underway on Friday.

Who is in Group B?

Who are the favourites?

It was Spain — and it probably still is — but Alexia Putellas’ injury is a huge blow for a team that, while supremely talented, hasn’t managed to look like potential champions often enough.

Eight-time Euros winners Germany have an exciting new generation and will also expect to escape the group, though Denmark will fancy their chances of an upset.

What’s the key game?

Germany and Denmark open up against each other and you have to feel one side, or the other, will take a huge leap towards qualification if they win. This is a huge chance for the teams to set themselves up for success.

Can you give me a player to watch for every team?

A tough-tackling midfielder, Oberdorf will not give her opponents a moments rest, hassling them when they’re in possession before displaying her superb talent on the ball. Has the ability to dominate games.

The star of the Denmark side, Harder can play at the very top as an out-and-out striker or as a more supplementary forward who works and creates for the team. She play a huge part if Denmark qualify from a tough group.

Technically superb, Bonmatí is smooth on the ball in midfield, beating players as easily as she finds team-mates. With Putellas injured, the keys of the Spanish midfield will be handed to her Barcelona team-mate.

A three-time Finnish player of the year, Kuikka is a fine defender who is also comfortable in possession. Now in the US, she was once voted the best defender in the Swedish league and has a busy summer ahead.

And the big storyline?

Alexia Putellas is out injured and the question is how Spain will fare without the Ballon d’Or winner. Will they be able to press as high and dominate games without her? Will there be a chance for youngster Clàudia Pina or recalled forward Amaiur Sarriegi? Can Aitana Bonmatí dominate the midfield? All eyes are on a Spain side without its biggest star.

And, finally, a prediction?
