Holland v Norway
Eurosport 2, 5pm Sunday

Tournament hosts Holland will kick off their Women's Euro 17 campaign with a match against 2013 beaten finalists Norway.

Arsenal Ladies' new recruit Vivianne Miedema is one to watch in the Dutch team. The 20-year-old is an exciting striker who has been a prolific scorer for Heerenveen and Bayern Munich. Also in their squad is Sherida Spitse, who is deadly from set-pieces, and fellow Gunners Danielle van de Donk, Sari van Veenendaal and Dominique Janssen.

Norway's bright light is Ada Hegerberg, who has scored a remarkable 112 goals in 97 games in three seasons for Lyon and with such a potent threat up front, she is capable of punishing Holland's defence.

This could be a tight match and backing the draw could pay.

Recommendation

1pt 13-5 bet365

Denmark's experience to make the difference

Belgium v Denmark
7.45pm Sunday, second half live on Eurosport 2

Nils Nielsen's Danish side held England to a 1-1 draw in a friendly earlier this month thanks to a stunning free kick by potent goal threat Pernille Harder.

These finals mark the first time that Belgium have reached a major tournament so it makes sense to side with the more experienced side.

Recommendation
Denmark
2pts 5-6 general
