Reporters' views
Sara Nilssen Kilen, Norway reporter
Norway must build on the second-half improvements they showed in their opener against Switzerland. One key adjustment was moving Caroline Graham Hansen out wide, where her pace and one-on-one ability opened up the game. To break down Finland's compact and disciplined defence, Norway need to bring energy and sharpness from the outset. Sustained intensity could be the key to securing top spot.
Mikael Erävuori, Finland reporter
The win over Iceland has certainly injected confidence into this Finland squad. Though Norway will be an even harder nut to crack, there were several positive signs in Finland's play in the opening game and there will probably be no major changes in terms of personnel or tactics. Finland have to build on a solid defensive structure by being more clinical in the box when chances arise.
What the coaches say
Gemma Grainger, Norway coach: "They obviously got the win in the first game. We played them last year in the qualification for the championship. They’re a team that we know well. I’m very respectful of the way they like to play football, I like that about them. I think they’re a tough team to play against, and I’m really looking forward to the game tomorrow."
Marko Saloranta, Finland coach: "The fact that both teams won their opening match may affect the game in some sense. Both sides know that in a four-team group another win would almost certainly mean a place in top two. I expect both teams to play bravely and really go for another win."
