Norway Women and Finland Women both made winning starts to their Euro 2025 Group A campaigns and they face each other in Sion on Sunday.
Finland edged past 10-player Iceland 1-0 on matchday one, but they are up against a talented Norway side who came from a goal down to beat tournament hosts Switzerland 2-1 in their opener.

Best Bet: Draw-Norway Women Half Time/Full Time @ 10/3
Norway Women made a slow start to their opening game against Switzerland before coming from 1-0 down at half-time to win 2-1.
It could be a similar story against a stubborn Finland side who have kept nine clean sheets in their last 11 competitive fixtures.
Norway's star-studded attacking unit should fire them to three points but they may have to wait until the second half to break through.
James Milton explains:
Norway didn't manage a shot on target in the first half of their 2-1 win over the Swiss and Sunday's clash with a solid but limited Finland side could follow a similar pattern.
Norway Women to win
Under 3.5 goals
Guro Reiten to score
Pays 7/1
Norway Women turned on the style in the second half against Switzerland, scoring twice while also missing a penalty and they have the attacking talent to beat Finland.
The Finns' last 10 matches have all finished with under 3.5 goals and they can keep things tight against the favourites in Sion.
Guro Reiten was quiet for Norway on matchday one, but she had an excellent goalscoring season for Chelsea and notched twice in four matches at the 2023 World Cup.

James Milton adds:
A low-scoring Norway win is the foundation of this Bet Builder and Guro Reiten, who has scored 24 goals in 43 starts for Chelsea in the last three WSL seasons, could play a starring role for the favourites.

Norway's English coach Gemma Grainger will want to see more intent from a top-class front four featuring Chelsea's Reiten, Arsenal's Frida Maanum, Barcelona's Caroline Graham Hansen and Lyon's Ada Hegerberg.
They had only three shots on target against Switzerland, including a headed equaliser from Hegerberg, who also dragged a second-half penalty wide.
Norway had beaten Switzerland twice in this year's Nations League, winning 2-1 at home and 1-0 away, but they failed to score in two defeats to France.
Their other two results in the competition were 0-0 and 1-1 draws with Iceland, who had Hildur Antonsdottir sent off in the 58th minute of Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Finland.
Expected Norway Women line-up (4-2-3-1): Fiskerstrand; Bjelde, Mjelde, Hansen, Lund; Risa, Engen; Maanum, Graham Hansen, Reiten; Hegerberg.
Finland Women booked their place at Euro 2025 with a 2-0 aggregate win over Scotland in December and they have maintained their lofty defensive standards this year.
They conceded only two goals, both against Serbia, in six Nations League matches although they were in a relatively weak group alongside the Serbs, Hungary and Belarus.
Manchester City forward Vivianne Miedema scored twice in the first 30 minutes of the Netherlands' 2-1 friendly win over the Finns last month.
However, Finland's defence stood firm against Iceland in their Group A opener and they took full advantage of Antonsdottir's dismissal thanks to a 70th-minute goal from left-winger Katariina Kosola.
Expected Finland Women line-up (4-4-1-1): Koivunen; Koivisto, Kuikka, Nystrom, Tynnila; Siren, Summanen, Oling, Kosola; Franssi, Sallstrom.
