Previews

Two of the top five in the betting for Euro 2022 meet at Bramall Lane on Saturday as Sweden and the Netherlands face off in what promises to be one of the most keenly contested matches of the group stage.

There is considerable history between the pair, who are ranked second and fourth in the world respectively.

Netherlands were 2-0 victors when the sides met in the quarter-finals of the last Euros in 2017 en route to winning the tournament. And the pair reconvened in a World Cup semi-final two years later and it was the Dutch who prevailed once again, this time 1-0 in extra-time.

If the Netherlands are to make it three in a row then Vivianne Miedema is likely to be key. The Arsenal striker has notched 94 goals in 111 caps for her nation and has operated at a strike rate of almost one goal per game since joining the Gunners in 2017.

The 25-year-old has netted nine goals in seven games this year and looks the likeliest to find the net in what could be a cagey game between two of women's football's big hitters.

Portugal take on Switzerland in Leigh in Saturday's other Group C clash with both sides desperate for three points given the heavyweight status of their subsequent opponents.

Switzerland are odds-on to pick up victory but their recent form does not inspire much confidence. The Swiss are winless in their six matches, with just two draws against Northern Ireland and Romania to show for their efforts that run.

In contrast, Portugal have won three of their last four and have picked up some big results in recent months, including beating Norway and drawing with Australia.

At the prices it may be worth siding with the unheralded Portuguese side to cause an upset.
