Remaining fixtures (all times BST): France v Wales (9 July, 20:00) England v Wales & Netherlands v France (both 13 July, 20:00)
England, who won the tournament in 2022, will advance if they beat tournament debutants Wales no matter the result in the Netherlands’ match with France.
If the Lionesses fail to beat Wales, they may still reach the quarter-finals if other results go their way.
Wales will reach the knockouts if they beat France on Wednesday and England on Friday.
But, if they were to lose to France on Wednesday, they’re as good as out. That’s because they’d need to beat England by at least seven goals because of their unfavourable head-to-head goal difference in matches involving themselves, the defending champions and the Netherlands.
France will reach the quarter-finals if they beat Wales and avoid defeat against the Netherlands.
The Netherlands will advance if they beat France on Friday and England don’t beat Wales.
If England, France and the Netherlands all finish on six points, the Netherlands are likely to be the side that misses out on head-to-head results because of their heavy defeat by England.
At this tournament, teams level on points are separated by head-to-head record. And if three teams are level on points, their head-to-head record is calculated as if they were in a mini-league.
