Northern Ireland v England | Women’s Euro 2022 guide – The latest team news, results, odds and stats

1 year ago
| BY News Team

England are flying at Euro 2022, with two wins out of two in Group A meaning that the Lionesses have already secured their passage into the quarter-finals with a game to spare.

They are still yet to lose since Sarina Wiegman became manager in 2021 and will look to continue their amazing form in their final group game this week.

When is England Women’s next game at Euro 2022?

England play Northern Ireland on Friday, 15th July, in a 20:00 kick-off. After thrilling the home crowd at Brighton on Monday, the Lionesses are staying on the South Coast, with this game taking place at a sold-out St. Mary’s Stadium.

England were simply unplayable against Norway in their last match, battering one of the tournament favourites 8-0 in a scintillating attacking display. Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo were all on the scoresheet, along with a double from Ellen White and a superb hat-trick from Beth Mead.

Northern Ireland are already out, and England are already through – but the Lionesses are unlikely to let their guard down against a fellow home nation.

What are the odds England win their next game?

England are strong favourites to beat Northern Ireland in their final group game and head into the Euro 2022 quarter-finals with a 100% record. After hitting eight goals against Norway, it could be another high-scoring night for the rampant Lionesses, and five or more total goals in the match is 11/8.

England to score their first goal in the opening 15 minutes of the game is 15/8, or if you fancy a heroic rear-guard effort from Northern Ireland, the Lionesses to fail to score is 22/1.

Sarina Wiegman may choose to rotate players for this one, which could be an opportunity for a few fresh faces to star. Alessia Russo already has one tournament goal from the bench and is 14/5 to open the scoring against Northern Ireland. Top-scorer Beth Mead has four in two games, and is 18/5 to score at least two more in this one.

What is the latest England v Northern Ireland team news and injury news?

With a place in the quarter-finals guaranteed, Sarina Wiegman may make full use of her squad against Northern Ireland. That said, Wiegman doesn’t appear to be the kind of manager who accepts anything less than the best, so it would be no surprise to see Ellen White lead the line once again. Alex Greenwood may deputise for Rachel Daly after a heavy tackle against Norway. In attack, Alessia Russo, Chloe Kelly, Ella Toone and Nikita Parris will all be hoping to get a chance to impress from the start. Northern Ireland will be without Simone Magill after her heart-breaking injury in the first game.

Who are England and Northern Ireland’s key players?

Ellen White brings goals, while Millie Bright is a colossus in defence. A versatile attack includes the devastating winger Lauren Hemp and the skilful Beth Mead, who already has four goals at Euro 2022. Captain Leah Williamson keeps things calm in defence and midfield, while the experienced Lucy Bronze offers incredible athleticism and dynamism down the right.

Rachel Furness is Northern Ireland’s all-time leading goalscorer, despite having to take a two-year break from the game in her early 20s due to a chronic knee injury. She is her nation’s highest-profile player, as well as the leading playmaker for the green and white army.

Who do England play next at Euro 2022?

After England play Northern Ireland, they will face the runner-up in Group B in their quarter-final. With Germany having won the group, it will come down to either Denmark or Spain, who face each other on Saturday. Whoever England play, it will take place on July 20th, back at Brighton’s Amex Stadium – the scene of the Lionesses’ 8-0 demolition of Norway.

What are the odds on England to win Euro 2022?

England are 7/2 to win Euro 2022 with William Hill’s Top Price Guarantee, after flying through the group stages. Sarina Wiegman guided Netherlands to glory at Euro 2017, is history about to repeat itself for her Lionesses side in 2022?

Who is the manager of England Women?

Sarina Wiegman is the Lionesses’ manager, and the team head into Euro 2022 yet to lose a game under her leadership. Wiegman has forged an impressive reputation for herself as a coach after racking up over 100 caps for Netherlands as a player. She was the first Dutch woman to coach at a male professional football club. In 2017, she led Netherlands’ women side to Euro 2017 glory on home soil. England will hope she can repeat that achievement this summer.
