Denmark Women preview: No fresh concerns
Denmark have no fresh concerns from the squad that they originally picked for the tournament, and so will look to field their strongest possible XI to try and get off to the best start. Bayern Munich star Pernille Harder is among some high-profile names expected to start.
Predicted lineup: Ostergaard (GK); Obaze, Ballisager, Veje; Thomsen, Hasbo, Snerle, Holmgaard; Vangsgaard, Bruun & Harder

Player to watch: Stina Blackstenius
Denmark will not want to come up against Stina Blackstenius again. Indeed, she scored a hat-trick and also grabbed herself an assist in Sweden's 6-1 rout of the Danes in the UEFA Women's Nations League in June.
Blackstenius was also on the scoresheet in the Swede's 2-0 victory against another Nordic nation in Norway last time out. At club level, the Arsenal striker will go down in history as the woman who scored the winner against the much more fancied Barcelona in the UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL) final.
