England Women didn’t make it an easy pathway to the semi-finals, going down 2-0 to Sweden so quickly in the first half.
They looked at stages like it could get worse in the first half.
But in the second half they continued to fend off Sweden and eventually got a break of their own, scoring two goals in the space of two minutes to flip the game on its head.
The game went to penalties where England eventually got through after a dramatic and nail-biting shootout.
Their penalties will have to be better if they have to take them again, in order to win the semis or if they get there, in the final.
Defeating Sweden in that fashion showed they had that fight they’ve shown when winning this competition in 2022.
Up against Italy they are the massive odds-on favourites but Italy shouldn’t be underestimated.
Alessia Russo has been the go-to forward for England and rightfully so too, as the Arsenal striker has scored once and assisted three in four appearances in this competition.
She scored as many as four in the 2022 competition and three in the World Cup in 2023, so she’s used to scoring in the big important games for the Lionesses which can make a huge impact.
What is a Bet Builder?
You’re in control with Bet Builders, as you can create and customize your own unique bets.
Bet Builders comprise of two or more bet selections combined to create one bet at better odds the more you add.
So, say if you fancy Man City to win, with 10 or more corners, Haaland to score a header and over 3 cards, you can then open the builder and build your unique bet yourself rather than betting on four single bets!
