Well, that was unexpected. England produced one of their greatest tournament performances to demolish the eleventh best side in the world 8-0, blowing my prediction of a tight encounter out of the water. The Norwegians looked shell shocked, and their defence had no answer to the English attack from the off. Even Norway’s fearsome attack was completely neutralised. England now face Northern Ireland, who on paper should be the easiest test of the group stage. The Green and White army have displayed decent enough performances against Norway and Austria, but this will be a big step up in class.
England are already assured of a first-place finish, so could bring in a host of new players, with Sarina Wiegman expected to rest some of her starting eleven for the knockout stages.
England and Over 4.5 goals at 5/6 with Bet365
England have shown they have the attacking ability to go all the way in this tournament, and will want to keep the momentum going. Players who have not featured much so far will be looking to prove they belong in the starting XI for the knockout stages. The performance might not reach the giddy heights of the last game, but there should still be plenty of chances for England to net.
Northern Ireland have not fared well against England of late, shipping 15 goals in their last 3 meetings without scoring, and a repeat could be on the cards here.
First Goalscorer – Beth Mead at 18/5 with Unibet
Mead is the leading goalscorer so far this tournament, and a player at the peak of her powers. Expect Mead to have a few more chances this evening to add to that tally. She looks likely to nab an early goal before being taken off with future games in mind.
