I’ve gone for a Friday evening bet builder at odds of 8.00, as England Women play host to Northern Ireland Women and with the tournament hosts now safely in the knockout phase of the competition, it gives their manager something of a dilemma.
Because after beating Norway by eight goals to nil on Monday night, Sarina Wiegman may decide that with qualification already in the bag, key personnel could be rested before their quarterfinal clash next week.
An ideal opportunity to provide rest and relaxation within the tight timeline of this summer’s European Championships and although there is huge logic in this, keeping the status quo may also make sense at the same time.
If only due to England’s crushing of their Norwegian counterparts at the start of the week and with momentum now going into overdrive, an application of the breaks is far from recommended.
Which means Northern Ireland could be in for just as a torrid time on Friday and with Kenny Shiels’ squad already having been eliminated from the competition after two successive defeats, there is a feeling that even pride may be difficult to play for.

Especially as this Irish squad have failed to land a glove on this England side in recent times and with the way that Beth Mead and her cohorts run roughshod on Monday, there is little to suggest that things will differ when the two nations meet at the St Mary’s Stadium.
Unsurprisingly Monday’’s headlines were hogged by developments further along the South Coast in Brighton and although an 8-0 win will always create column inches, it has also put into question whether a win of that size is good for the Women’s game as whole.
The detractors will say it is not, but those who continue to back this variant of the beautiful game will ask others to simply admire a performance that rightly makes England as joint-tournament favourites at the time of writing.
With the way Sarina Wiegman’s side are playing right now, there is perhaps a final opportunity to earn any value from an outright bet and before they play their third Euros encounter on Friday, they are currently priced at odds of 4.00 to win the final.
However, beating Northern Ireland is also on the agenda and with a 3-0 win currently priced at odds of 7.00, this is an outcome that is certainly worth your consideration – regardless of whether key names are rested for this encounter or not.

Before Friday’s clash gets underway, I have backed England once again and after an emphatic performance at the start of the week, I am confident of the same towards the end. An England win with Beth Mead scoring one of six or more total goals, as both teams do not find themselves on the scoresheet. Add all that in the pot and our latest bet builder is ready to go.
