The Lionesses head into the tournament among the top four favourites and will hope to fire a signal of intent at the Allianz Riviera.

England won the SheBelieves Cup earlier in the year but struggled to dominate in their warm-up matches for the World Cup.

Phil Neville’s side lost 1-0 to Canada and New Zealand either side of victories over Spain and Denmark.

On the other hand, Scotland head into the tournament as outsiders but have enjoyed an excellent streak of results.

Shelley Kerr’s side have won four of their last five games including a triumph over Brazil in April.

They were only narrowly defeated by two World Cup frontrunners USA and Canada in recent months, with both games finishing 1-0, proving Scotland should not be underestimated.
