Germany hold aspirations of adding a third World Cup to their haul, but they must first beat Sweden to reach the last four.

The Scandinavians have an excellent pedigree in tournament football, but there will be a gulf in class when they line up against their opponents at Roazhon Park in Rennes, France.

Germany lacked bite in their first two group games, when they could only defeat China and Spain 1-0 in two close encounters.

However, their defence has been formidable, and a 3-0 win against Nigeria in the round of 16 was the perfect result after thrashing South Africa 4-0.

Alexandra Popp opened the scoring against the Nigerians. The 28-year-old needed a goal to get her tournament on track after a quiet start, and she will be vitally important in the latter rounds if Germany proceed.

Popp also netted in the final group game against South Africa, and the captain's predatory form will be key to World Cup success for her team.

Per the official FIFA website, Germany head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg was impressed with the team after the win over Nigeria:

"Coaches are never 100 per cent happy but that was a great performance and it's fantastic to be in the quarter-finals. We've played four very tough matches in very different conditions, with the heat tough today, and we've dealt with all that very well. I'm very happy that we now have one week to relax and prepare for the quarter-finals. Part of that will be working on improving our performance in certain phases of the match, gaining more ground, becoming more confident and now allowing ourselves to get frustrated by small details."

Sweden dramatically beat Canada 1-0 in the round of 16 on Monday, when a penalty save by goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl ensured victory following Stina Blackstenius' 55th-minute strike.

The former Chelsea Ladies No. 1 will have to remain in top form against the Germans if her side are to clinch a surprise last-four berth.

Germany are yet to concede at this year's World Cup, and they'll be confident of earning another shutout in their next game.
