Germany's women's national team looks to continue their dominant start to World Cup qualifying this Tuesday as they welcome Austria to Nürnberg's Max-Morlock Stadion. The DFB-Frauen, aiming to bounce back from a disappointing group-stage exit in the last World Cup, have opened their campaign in imperious form, netting nine goals without reply in victories over Slovenia and Norway.

Standing in their way is an Austrian side desperate for points, having narrowly lost both of their opening qualifiers. While Austria boasts a respectable recent record in European Championships, they have never qualified for a Women's World Cup, adding extra significance to this clash. The two nations will meet again in a reverse fixture this Saturday.

On the team news front, Germany welcomes back Wolfsburg's Cora Zicai from illness. However, the spotlight shines brightest on her club teammate, Vivien Endemann. The 24-year-old striker, who scored in both of Germany's qualifying wins—including the opener in a statement 4-0 victory over Norway—is set for a high-profile move to Liverpool. Her form will be crucial as Germany seeks to maintain a perfect record against the group's bottom side.

The stage is set for a compelling tactical battle. Germany, under coach Christian Wück, will rely on a potent attack featuring Endemann and Jule Brand, while Austria will look to veterans like Sarah Puntigam and Nicole Billa to organize a resilient defense and spring a historic upset on German soil.
