Although the Spanish have long been considered one of the favourites for the tournament, they've never made it to a final, whereas Germany have been in nine - including seven of the last eight.
History favours Germany
Were they to face England, it would be a repeat of the 2022 final in which the Lionesses triumphed.
Fortune favours Christian Wuck's side too, given that they're unbeaten against Spain in the last eight meetings (W5, D3) with a positive goal difference of 18-3.
Indeed, in their five most recent head-to-heads, the Spaniard's have only managed to score one goal and have been kept goalless in four of those five meetings.
Furthermore, in their 10 Women's Euro semi-finals to date, Germany have progressed in nine of them, their only loss way back in 1993 on penalties to Italy.
In more recent times, the Germans won the bronze medal match against Spain at the Olympics and also their fixture at Euro 2022.
So, for all of the attacking verve that the Spanish can and likely will display on Wednesday, Germany know how to tame the beast - as they've proven time and again.
Current form of both teams is impeccable
The mental aspect of the fixture could therefore also come into play if things aren't going Spain's way as we approach the latter stages of the match.
Whilst the current form of both teams is impeccable, Germany were undone by Sweden in the group stage, and that 4-1 defeat meant a second-place finish.
It's a blip in an otherwise perfect recent record, whilst Spain can go one better. Montse Tome's side have won 12 of their last 13 international matches and have scored three or more goals in 10 of those wins.
Only in their 2-0 win over tournament hosts Switzerland did they fail to score 3+ goals, though it should be pointed out that they did also miss two penalties in that match (Caldentey, Putellas).
It's an impressive and dominant run of form and one that will take some stopping on Wednesday.
With Spain also being World Cup winners and Nations League champions too, adding the Euros to that list of titles has obvious cachet.
Suspensions for both sides
In terms of team news, Germany's Kathrin Hendrich is suspended after the red card she received in the quarter-final for pulling the hair of Griedge Mbock, and Sjoeke Nusken is also unavailable after her second yellow card of the tournament.
Sarai Linder's ligament injury will see her play no further part in the tournament, and captain, Giulia Gwinn, also misses the semi-final (and potential final) on account of the serious knee injury she sustained in the match against Poland.
For the Spanish, who have already equalled their best showing at the Euros, Laia Aleixandri is also suspended after picking up a second yellow card of the tournament for a late tackle on Switzerland's Iman Beney.
Esther Gonzalez has been in fine scoring form and tops the charts with four goals at present, and with the likes of Claudia Pina (two goals, two assists) and Alexia Putellas (three goals) also scoring for fun, it seems, Germany might unusually find themselves on the back foot for long periods of this match.
German counter-attack could stifle Spain's creativity
A 4-1-4-1 formation might therefore be likely with those two banks of four working in tandem defensively and the wide players in midfield able to shuttle back and forth to peg back Putellas and Aitana Bonmati in an attacking 4-3-3 from Spain.
Allowing any of the Spanish front six to hit their straps, particularly in the opening exchanges, could prove fatal to German chances of progression given that the players could already feel a little drained from their epic quarter-final against the French.
Don't be surprised to find them playing a more counter-attacking game than they're used to as a result. That's because Spain have averaged more than 70% possession in most of their games, and because Wuck can't afford to allow the game to get away from his players after they played for so long in a match with one woman down.
The energy levels already expended in the quarter-final may well be the one area that ultimately hands the advantage to Spain in a clash that's almost certain to demand each player leave everything out on the pitch.
Irresistible force meets the immovable object
We're likely to see a game where the irresistible force meets the immovable object, and it should make for a terrific watch.
Germany's tournament nous has already held them in good stead so far, but will they have enough to push through the pain barrier against a team that will press them incessantly for 90 minutes?
