+ Belgium – a piece of cake?
World Champions Spain had no problem dismissing Portugal in the premiere and won with 5–0 without two-time Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmatí from the start. Belgium, who fell against Italy with 0–1, should also become a piece of cake for the Spanish women.
+ Great responsibility rests on the Inter star
Belgium's goal scorer Tessa Wullaert did not have the day against Italy and had to leave the pitch goalless for once. If national team coach Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir's team, who before the assignment in Belgium spent 14 years in Kristianstad, is to be able to handle Spain, Wullaert needs to step forward.

+ Decisive match after heavy premiere loss
Portugal's 0–5 loss to Spain was a tough story that was much marked by the men's national team's Diogo Jota's shocking death the same day. Now the Portuguese women need to find new strength for the decisive match against Italy – otherwise it may be an early exit for the country that has never made it past the group stage.
+ Defense in the foreground for the Mediterranean blues
It did not sparkle – but Italy did what needed to be done against Belgium and won 1–0. If "Le Azzurre" is to go far in the European Championship, they need to continue to show a rock-solid defense – the team has now only conceded one goal in their last four competitive matches.
