There could not have been a worse start for France, which remains one of the favorites in this European Championship. On the other side is the team that won the last edition of this tournament on home soil and has seen further growth in women’s football over the years.
Not only that, but Arsenal won the last edition of the Champions League, against all odds. So yes, it’s clear that there’s something extra in England at the moment. The head-to-head record is identical: three wins apiece, with France coming off the back of eight straight wins. But that run will come to an end.
England prepared for this event by winning 7-0 in their last friendly against Jamaica. In general, there have been a couple of mixed results recently. But when it comes to playing for something important, the English team has always raised its game. We are sure that this will be the case again.

Prediction
In a match that should see at least one goal per team – the last meeting in 2024 in the European qualifiers ended 2-1 for England – we could see the same final result in the first match of this European Championship. Therefore, we predict an English victory, with at least three goals in total.
