Northern Ireland are last up for England as Sarina Wiegman’s side complete their Women’s Euro 2022 group stage later today.
The Lionesses are already through to the quarter-finals as winners of Group A, following their 8-0 demolition of Norway last time out. They are likely to face Spain in a last-eight clash.
For Northern Ireland, their Euros will go no further than this match with England, after they were beaten in their opening two games against Norway and Austria. The odds are certainly stacked against them going into the clash at St Mary’s, in what is an intimidating conclusion to their first major tournament.

Northern Ireland vs England prediction
Even with progression to the quarter-finals secured, England will be keen to keep confidence high and ensure they do into the knockout stages on a high.
It’s unlikely to be the absolute hammering the Lionesses pulled off last time, but the Northern Ireland defence is not good enough to keep the Lionesses out, regardless of who lines up in attack.
England win, 4-0.
