Northern Ireland vs England Prediction
England go into this fixture as the overwhelming favorites given their current form under Sarina Weigman and their past record in this particular fixture.
Northern Ireland's campaign could very much come to a halt if they fail to pick up any points from this tie. They will have to be incredibly firm at the back to have any chance of picking up points from this clash.
England are definitely the favorites to clinch the tie and we expect them to win by a big margin.
Prediction: Northern Ireland 1-5 England
