- Excluding penalty shoot-outs, Austria have lost only one of their last 16 Women’s EURO qualifying and final tournament matches (W9 D6)

PREDICTED LINE-UPS
England: Earps; Bronze, Bright, Greenwood, Daly; Williamson, Walsh; Mead, Scott, Hemp; White
Austria: Zinsberger; Wienroither, Wenninger, Schnaderbeck, Degan; Dunst, Zadrazil, Puntigam, Feiersinger, Naschenweng; Billa
THE PREDICTION
England will open up the tournament as one of the favourites with that all-important home advantage and a domestic system which is one of the best in Europe, helping them to blood a formidable squad. The Three Lions are boosted by the availability of star striker Ellen White following her recovery from Covid-19 and whilst UEFA Women’s Euro 2017 semi-finalists Austria are not to be underestimated, they have been beaten by England in all seven of their previous meetings. Back England to comfortably triumph here by at least two clear goals.
