Form: England missed out on top spot in their Euro qualifying group, coming second behind fellow Group D side France. Sarina Wiegman’s side did, however, win their most recent meeting with Les Bleues.
But question marks have been raised over their form of late, with a convincing 6-0 win against Portugal in the Women’s Nations League sandwiched between defeats by Belgium and Spain, although they did beat the latter in February.
Tournament hopes: Expectations will be high for an England side who ended the country’s 56-year wait for a major trophy – men’s or women’s – when they beat Germany at Wembley in the 2022 final.
But, after reaching the final of the 2023 World Cup, the Lionesses have suffered a dip in form, plus a number of key players are in a race to be fully fit in time, while the absence of Mary Earps (retired) and Millie Bright (unavailable) means the squad is without some of its most experienced names.
To make things even more uncertain, they’ve been handed perhaps the toughest group and even getting out of the group stage could be a big ask.
