Austria was the team that surprised everyone and made it to a sensational European Championship semi-final in 2017.

Both Belgium and Iceland need to have a win to be able to fight for the 2nd place behind big favorites France.

France may have the most fearsome attacking line in the European Championships. Marie-Antoinette Katoto provided another raw season for PSG, and the goalscoring machine could quickly shoot France all the way to Wembley. Italy has benefited from reaching the semifinals of the European Championships in 25 years, and Milena Bertolini really needs to whip up a tactical genius punch to discipline “Les Bleues”.
