England to head off on a high
This is England's final game before they defend their crown at Euro 2025 in Switzerland.
The Lionesses have given themselves a gentle warm-up fixture: Jamaica were beaten 4-0 by the USA this month and have lost each of their last three games.
England have won their last two home 6-0 against Portugal and 5-0 against Belgium 5-0, so there is reason to believe they can go at least one better than the USA and overcome a -4 handicap.
Game of two halves in store
Sarina Wiegman is likely to start with a strong England team that will bear close resemblance to the line-up for their opening Euro 2025 fixture against France.
But she will also surely use this as an opportunity to give chances to fringe players in the second half and rest her most important performers.
With the second half likely to be regularly punctuated by substitutions, I'm expecting the first half to produce the most goals. England were 5-0 up by half-time in their last home match against Portugal, only scoring once more after the break.
Russo key to England hopes
Alessia Russo was one of the star performers when England won Euro 2022, coming off the bench in all six games and scoring four goals.
Now a regular starter for her country, the Arsenal striker has a total of 22 goals in 50 international appearances. The 26-year-old found the net 20 times in 41 games for the Gunners last season.
Russo scored the opening goal in a 2-1 defeat by Spain in the Lionesses' last outing and I'm backing her to get England off the mark again.
