Wiegman eyeing more success

Having reached the Euros final twice before, in 1984 and 2009, the Lionesses will be hoping to go one better this time under the guidance of Sarina Wiegman, who guided her native Netherlands to European Championship glory in 2017 and the World Cup final two years later.

Under Wiegman, England are unbeaten in 14 matches, winning 12 and scoring 84 goals to just three conceded. Their three warm-up games saw them score 12 times.

The form of Ellen White up front will be key to Wiegman’s side’s hopes of progressing far in the tournament.

The team’s record scorer with 50 goals had a disrupted build-up after contracting coronavirus but has recovered in time for Wednesday’s match and will be out to add to her international tally.

Assuming she starts, White will be a popular pick to score first at 14/5 while she is 4/1 to score two goals or more.

England will be hoping to get off to a good start ahead of next Monday’s clash against Norway at Brighton and then their meeting with Northern Ireland at Southampton the following Friday.

The Norway match looks the toughest in the group and Wiegman may have one eye on that of England take control early on.

Let’s take a chance on 9/4 for the first half to have the most goals as the last of our England Women v Austria Women betting tips.
