Sports Mole

After losing their respective opening games of Women's Euro 2022, Austria Women and Northern Ireland Women will be desperate to clinch a victory on Monday when they go head-to-head at St Mary's.

Austria began the tournament with a narrow 1-0 defeat to England, while Northern Ireland lost 4-1 to Norway.


Match preview

Austria may have begun their campaign with a defeat, but there were still positives to take from Wednesday's opening game against the tournament hosts.

After Beth Mead found the net in the 16th minute, Irene Fuhrmann may have been concerned that her side were on their way to a heavy defeat, however, Austria put up a valiant fight to ensure that England experienced a tough evening.

As a result of the narrow defeat, Austria will be fully aware that if they are to have a realistic chance of progressing to the quarter-finals then they must beat Northern Ireland.

Having won seven of their last nine games, they will be confident of beating a side that are ranked 21 places lower than them.

They will also draw inspiration from the 3-1 victory that they picked up against Northern Ireland in World Cup qualifying, which took place only three months ago.

Meanwhile, Northern Ireland made history on Thursday when they competed in their first-ever match at a major tournament.

Kenny Shiels knew his side would be up against it, with Norway ranked 11th in the world compared to Northern Ireland's 47th place in the FIFA World Rankings.

The first half proved to be a humbling experience for the Green and White Army, who conceded three goals inside 31 minutes before Julie Nelson pulled a goal back four minutes after the restart.

However, only five minutes later, Guro Reiten ended Northern Ireland's hopes of a comeback when she found the bottom corner with a precise free kick.

Like their opponents, Northern Ireland face a mountain to climb if they are to reach the knockout rounds, but first and foremost, they will be hoping to end a run of five consecutive defeats as they look to pick up their first points at a major tournament.

Team News

Following the narrow loss to England on matchday one, Austria could name an unchanged lineup for Monday's contest.

If Fuhrmann does opt for an unchanged side then Carina Wenninger will continue to partner Viktoria Schnaderbeck in the centre of defence.

Nicole Billa will lead the line for her country, and the Hoffenheim forward will be hoping to open her account for the tournament on matchday two.

As for Northern Ireland, they have been dealt an injury blow after Simone Magill suffered a serious knee injury against Norway, which will rule the 27-year-old out for the remainder of the tournament.

Kirsty McGuinness could be chosen as Magill's replacement, and she is expected to feature in a front three alongside Abbie Magee and Lauren Wade.

After coming off the bench at half time on Thursday, Marissa Callaghan could come into the starting lineup against Austria.

Austria Women possible starting lineup:
Zinsberger; Wienroither, Wenninger, Schnaderbeck, Hanshaw; Zadrazil, Puntigam, Feiersinger; Dunst, Naschenweng, Billa

Northern Ireland Women possible starting lineup:
Burns; Burrows, Nelson, McFadden, Vance; Furness, McCarron, Callaghan; Magee, K. McGuinness, Wade


We say: Austria Women 2-1 Northern Ireland Women

Although Northern Ireland can expect a closer game on Monday than they experienced in their group opener, we think that the higher-ranked Austrian side will edge out the Green and White Army to collect their first win of the tournament.
