Semi-finalists of the UEFA Women's European Championship 2022, Les Bleues, will be battling it out to grab a quarterfinal spot when they take on Wales in their second outing. Laurent Bonadei's side put on an impressive display of gameplay to register a 2-1 victory against the defending champions, England, thanks to the goals from Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sandy Baltimore.

Meanwhile, Wales Women, who are competing in their first-ever major tournament, lost 0-3 to the Netherlands Women in their opening match. The Dragons' form has been concerning, as they are now on a 7-match winless streak.
