WHAT: UEFA Euro 2020 – Group A: England v Austria
WHEN: Friday, July 6: 8pm
STADIUM: Manchester – Old Trafford
HOW TO WATCH: BB1, iPlayer
England are going off second favourites for this tournament, with many believing they should be leading the market due to their recent form. With Sarina Wiegman in charge, who won the Euros in 2017 with Netherlands, they arguably have the best manager in the tournament, along with one of the best squads.
But how will they get on in the Women’s Euros 2022 opening match? Let’s take a look…

England (-2)
Home advantage in this tournament should really stand to them and after covering the -2 handicap in all three warm up games (including a 5-1 drubbing of defending champions Netherlands), I’d expect them to make light work of Austria here. England (-2) kicks us off.

Austria to receive the most cards
England will undoubtedly have more possession in this game than Austria, and with quick attackers such as Lauren Hemp, Beth Mead and Fran Kirby, it’s easy to see Austria getting the most cards.
Lauren Hemp to Score or Assist
Hemp had a stellar season with Man City, scoring 17 goals in all competitions as well as chipping in with 6 assists. She’s a very creative player with the ability to score or assist and, with White being favourite for the top goalscorer for the tournament, the likelihood of an assist should be even higher. I really like the look of Lauren Hemp to Score or Assist.

Ellen White 2 or More Shots on Target
Ellen White currently sits on 50 international goals, and with the creativity of Mead, Kirby and Hemp behind her, she is very likely to have plenty of chances in this game. She’s the favourite for the tournaments top goalscorer, and will be hungry to start the tournament with a few goals. I expect Ellen White 2 or More Shots on Target.
