England Women begin their quest for European glory as the second favourites to win the competition, according to the bookies. The Three Lionesses prepare for their group stage and tournament opener against Austria at Old Trafford with Sarina Wiegman's side at 9/2 with the bookies to win it.
Bookies Betway have put the host nation as second-favourites behind Spain, at 7/2, who are due to face Finland for their Group B opener at stadium:mk. Elsewhere, Group D's France are 6/1 while Netherlands and Sweden in Group C are both priced at 13/2.
The hosts are the favourites to finish top in Group A as they look to face Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland but could potentially face the favourites in the quarter-finals depending on how Spain finish in Group B. Captain Leah Williamson will be looking to secure England's first continental success in the women's game as the two-time finalists look to go one step better than their best.
Jorge Vilda's side join Denmark, Finland and Germany complete their group after finishing second in the Arnold Clark Cup this year as well as the SheBelieves Cup in America back in 2020. La Roja finished in the semi-finals back in 1997 losing to finalists Italy before they missed out to Germany who picked up their fourth title then.
In Group C, Sweden and Netherlands will be fighting to finish top of the group stage while both Switzerland and Portugal will be looking to produce a shock or two. Portugal originally bowed out of the qualifying play-offs but will make their second ever appearance after FIFA and UEFA suspended Russia back in February.
Finally, in Group D, third-favourites France join Belgium, Iceland and Italy with former international defender Corinne Diacre leading Les Bleues in her second major tournament after a disappointing World Cup campaign.
