IRELAND200216-50 Final fixtures: Austria v Norway, Northern Ireland v England — Friday July 15, 8pm kick-off As we have already alluded to, there is nothing riding on the home nations clash between England and Northern Ireland at St Mary’s. Sarina Wiegman’s side have already won Group A in emphatic fashion with two wins from two games, scoring nine goals in the process.

The Lionesses will face either Spain or Denmark in the quarter-finals. Kenny Shiels’ side have earned plenty of plaudits in their first-ever major tournament appearance, but 4-1 and 2-0 defeats to Norway and Austria respectively confirmed their elimination. However, the match between Austria and Norway is almost a winner-takes-all affair, as the two sides battle to nail down second place in the group.

I say almost because Austria merely need to avoid defeat in Brighton to hold onto second spot. As for Norway, their goal difference took a hammering after that 8-0 defeat to England and therefore must beat Austria to secure their own safe passage to the last eight. Group B – as it stands
