Euro 2022's group of death will draw to a conclusion on Saturday as table-topping Germany look to make it three wins from three against Finland, who cannot qualify for the quarter-finals.
The Nationalelf have enjoyed a fine tournament so far, thumping Denmark 4-0 in their opening game before defeating much-fancied Spain 2-0 in an impressive defensive display on Tuesday.
Finland have predictably found things more difficult in a very tough group, with a narrow loss at the hands of the Danes knocking them out after La Roja beat them 4-1 in their first match.
Here's everything you need to know about the match...
When is kick-off? Saturday 16 July, 20:00 (BST)Where is the match being played? Stadium MK, Milton KeynesTV channel/live stream? BBC Four (UK)What time does coverage start? 19:50 (BST)
Although head coach Anna Signeul likes to field a fairly settled side in a 4-4-2, she will be without three players due to illness: Anna Westerlund, Tuija Hyyrynen and goalkeeping captain Tinja-Riikka Korpela.
Winger Adelina Engman is also a doubt with a thigh issue so expect plenty of changes.
Germany are through to the quarter-finals and guaranteed top spot in Group B, so there will likely be some rotation here.
Impressive midfielder Lena Oberdorf and full-back Felicitas Rauch both picked up yellow card suspensions against Spain, while the former's central colleague Lina Magull will likely be rested as she struggles with a recurring hamstring issue.
Finland: (4-3-3) Tamminen; Heroum, Kuikka, Pikkujamsa, Koivisto; Sainio, Alanen, Summanen, Oling; Sallstrom, Franssi
Germany: (4-3-3) Frohms; Gwinn, Hegering, Hendrich, Kleinherne; Dallmann, Dabritz, Lattwein; Huth, Popp, Buhl
Germany look formidable both in attack and defence and will be keen to see out the group stage with a 100% record.
Although Finland will want to bow out with their heads held high, they will be missing three important players which will make this assignment all the more tough.
Football is a simple game. 22 women chase the ball for 90 minutes and in the end, the Germans always win.
