Norway welcomes Northern Ireland to the St. Mary's Stadium for this opening match of Group A in the Euro Women’s Championship. The two time champions come into this match as heavy favourites after beating Northern Ireland 6-0 in both their home and away matches in the Euro qualifiers. Norway had a remarkable run in the qualifiers where they won all six of their matches with a goal aggregate of 34-1. They scored an average of 5.6 goals per match while keeping five clean sheets. They have won their last five matches coming into this tournament and will be looking for a major improvement on their last Euro Championship appearance where they exited in the group stage without winning a match. Norway have only lost two of their last 13 matches across all competitions.

This match is the classic David vs Goliath scenario with the Northern Ireland hoping for a miracle after losing their last two matches against Norway with an aggregate of 12-0. They qualified second in their group thanks to them ending their qualifying campaign with four straight victories that helped them clinch the runners up position. Northern Ireland are on a dismal run of form that has seen them lose their last four matches and are five matches without a win. Their form away from home has been just as poor as they have won just two of their last six matches on the road.
