Shock package deal – Belgium

Belgium have been quietly constructing their fame over the previous couple of years and this might be the 12 months they present they will compete with the large names. Actually, they beat England in April and had a slender 3-2 defeat to Spain within the Nations League. Under no circumstances a pushover, they are going to be a difficult opponent for any workforce.

High goalscorer – Alessia Russo (England)

Russo had an outstanding second half of the season with Arsenal underneath Renee Slegers, and has scored in every of the final two Lionesses video games. England can smash within the targets after they wish to, and because the beginning striker, anticipate Russo to rack up a couple of this summer time.

‘Ultimate matches in Group D the video games to look at’

Sky Sports activities Information reporter Anton Toloui:

Participant to look at – Claudia Pina (Spain)

The highest scorer within the Champions League, Pina’s growth this season has been spectacular. She’s not a assured starter however given her report this 12 months, if she will get sport time she might be the participant of the match.

How are you going to look previous the world champions?

Germany have an thrilling squad led by the wonderful Giulia Gwinn however can they actually beat Spain?

Whereas England are taking over Wales in St Gallen it might be a winner-and-in battle between Netherlands and France in Zurich. The ‘group of loss of life’ will see one of many favourites dumped out earlier than the knockout phases.

Shock package deal – Belgium

Ask England how tough Belgium are to beat. They’re nicely coached, defensively robust, in one of many weaker teams and in Tessa Wullaert, they’ve a striker able to scoring vital targets.

High scorer – Salma Paralluelo (Spain)

She starred on the World Cup two years in the past and he or she’s a good higher participant now. Her athleticism terrifies defenders, whereas her all-round sport has improved considerably because of her time at Barcelona.

‘Wales will relish underdog tag’

Sky Sports activities pundit and co-commentator Niamh Fahey:

Participant to look at – Aitana Bonmati (Spain)

Her season within the latter phases of Champions League speaks volumes and he or she is the distinction maker at each membership and nation, though she might want to recuperate from her latest sickness with a view to make an affect.

Winner and runner-up – Spain and Germany

Spain have an unbelievable squad with match winners and are robust in each division. Germany are a younger workforce which were constructing with a lot high quality. An out of doors alternative, however I feel one workforce which might go far.

The sport to look at – England vs Wales

It is Wales’ maiden match and a derby sport. Additionally the final group sport, so it does not get tastier than that.

Shock package deal – Wales

They’re underdogs however will relish the tag. A seasoned squad with a lot high quality and a well-drilled workforce which might be arrange nicely. Underestimate at your peril.

Participant to look at – Michelle Agyemang (England)

I feel she might be a secret weapon for England as different nations will not know what to anticipate because of her solely having that one cap. That one sport – and purpose!- was unforgettable, and crucially confirmed how assured she might be. I feel Sarina Wiegman sees one thing thrilling in Agyemang and I hope we get to see extra of that on the Euros.

Winner and runner-up – Spain and England

The reigning world champions are stacked filled with world-class gamers – lots of whom play collectively week after week at Barcelona. Having by no means gained a Ladies’s Euros – and even reached a ultimate – they are going to be extra hungry than ever to show their dominance.

Whereas England’s squad depth is spectacular, there is not as a lot expertise within the world-class gamers who’re competing for sport time within the Spanish squad, and I feel it is that have and their consistency that may edge them to win the match.

I am basing a Spain-England ultimate on the truth that I feel France might win Group D, as if Spain and England each win their respective teams, they’d be on the right track to satisfy within the semi-finals.

Due to this fact, a part of me hopes England do not win, so there’s that risk of a Spain-England ultimate and a re-run of the 2023 World Cup, which might be completely thrilling.

Spain might be extremely robust to beat. With out that dwelling crowd that England had in 2022 and the addition of Spain desirous to win their first ever Euros title, I feel will probably be too large of an ask for the Lionesses.

Recreation to look at – England vs Netherlands

I feel this might be a vital one for England and the group generally.

High goalscorer – Alessia Russo

Coming off a aggressive WSL season because the joint-winner of the league’s golden boot, Alessia Russo has each probability of selecting up the identical title on the Euros.

The competitiveness for locations within the England squad, mixed with the added confidence of that Champions League title and a historical past of England offering the highest scorers on the Euros, the Lioness’ goal-machine Russo is who I am placing my cash on.
