England vs Spain Preview

Tournament: UEFA Women's Euros Final

Date: 27th July, 2025

Kick-off Time: 4 P.M. (GMT)

Venue: St. Jakob-Park

Sunday's UEFA Women's Euros 2025 Final between England and Spain will be the fixture of the year as the Lionesses aim to defend their European Crown against the UEFA Nations League winner, Spain, who also were the team that defeated the Three Lionesses to win the FIFA World Cup back in 2023.

The England Women's National Football Team will renew its hostilities with La Roja after their dramatic semi-final win, thanks to Chloe Kelly's last-minute penalty-rebound goal in extra time. The Italy Women's National Football Team thought they had the match under control after their lead in the 33rd minute by Barbara Bonansea, which was intact till the normal 90-minute mark. However, the magical substitution of Sarina Wiegman, Michelle Agyemang scored the equalizer at the 90+6 minute to spoil the party of the Italians. Neither of these teams tried to hold the fort down to see the match off to a penalty shootout, with both teams trying to find the winning goal of the match in the extra time. However, it was the Italy Women's National Football Team who had to endure a last-minute blow as Chloe Kelly's penalty-rebound goal sealed the deal for England.

On the other hand, the story was not much different for the La Roja. Neither Germany nor Spain was able to find the goal to break the deadlock within the normal time, as the keepers of both teams performed brilliantly throughout the game, showcasing world-class shot-stopping abilities. However, it was a magical feint of a shoulder and a quick hit with the right from the Ballon d'Or winner, Aitana Bonmati, in the 113th minute that gave Spain the lead and turned out to be the deciding goal of the match.

Both of these teams go into Sunday's fixture with the same objective. While it is the Spain Women's National Football Team who have been the dominant side when it comes to facing each other at the biggest stages of the tournament, it is the England Women's National Football Team that have more wins when it comes to head-to-head records.

While the Three Lionesses will rely on Alessia Russo and the likes of others to lead from the front to bring it home this year too, the La Roja front three, led by in-form Esther Gonzalez, will look forward to handing the England Women's National Football Team another final match defeat. Let's take a look at Sportsdunia's England vs Spain UEFA Women's Euro 2025 Final prediction:

England Women's National Football Team News

While it was all smiles in the English dugout after their semi-final win, the Lionesses were handed with Lauren James injury scare. The jury is still out on whether or not the Chelsea forward will be available or not given her ankle issue forced Sarina to take her off at halftime. It was Beth Mead who took her place and was the player to win the penalty that sealed the final ticket for the England Women's National Football Team.

As of now, she is the replacement for James on Sunday. After overcoming the ankle injury, Leah Williamson is fit and fine to start the finals, but the jury is out on whether Sarina will make so many tweaks, given she also has to consider whether or not to include Chloe Kelly and Agyemang, as they were the scorers of the semi-final tie.

Safe to say, Sarina Weigman is the manager who does not like to make too many changes, as Esme Morgan was the only change in the starting XI for the Lionesses in the semi-final.

Spain Women's National Football Team News

Even though Paralluelo and del Castillo both had a promising game after coming into the game to replace Claudia Pina and Esther Gonzalez, Montse Tome would prefer to keep Esther Gonzalez at the front, given the number 9's goal-scoring spree this tournament. Tome introduced Maria Mendez to partner Irene Pardes in the backline during their semi-final tie against the Germany Women's National Football Team, which went rather well. It will not be a crazy guess to make to say that Montse Tome could consider an unchanged starting XI, given Paralluelo, who picked up a yellow in the last game, and del Castillo both can be used as reinforcements when needed.

Key Players to watch in England vs Spain

Alessia Russo (England)

While there is no lack of stars in the squad of the Lionesses, if we are talking about the game changers, Alessia Russo is the biggest name in the squad right now.

She has been one of the consistent performers for the England Women's National Football Team in the 2024-25 Euros campaign. So far, she has scored one goal and bagged three assists in the five games she has played. However, her momentum carries from her phenomenal season with Arsenal in the 2024-25 campaign, where she scored 20 goals and bagged five assists in 41 games across all competitions.

While her numbers pretty much speak for themselves when it comes to her form, Russo's presence at the front three and her performance in the campaign make her the biggest threat in the English forward line.

Esther Gonzalez (Spain)

While the Spain Women's National Football Team failed to find the inspiration during the normal full-time in their semi-final, while Esther Gonzalez was still in the match, there is no denying that the top scorer of the UEFA Women's Euros 2025 has been in red-hot form. Moreover, she had quite a few attempts at the target, all of which were half-chances or created by herself out of nothing.

Given that both of these teams will adopt an attacking mindset in the final, Esther Gonzalez is the name in the frontline of Spain who will cause a lot of trouble for the English defenders. Given the form she has been in throughout this year, especially in the UEFA Women's Euros 2025 campaign, it shouldn't be a surprise to see her being the decisive player in Sunday's game.

England vs Spain Prediction

Given how the tournament has panned out for both of these teams, the title is up for grabs for either of them, as there are no favorites. While the England Women's National Football Team missed their captain, the comeback of Leah Williamson will be a massive boost for the team, given the weight of the final game of major tournaments.

On the other hand, even though the magic subs have done the job for Montse Tome, the manager would prefer to keep the line-up unchanged, given the versatility and attacking threat the team possesses.

In terms of creating chances and conversion, both teams will bring their A-game. However, it will boil down to which of these two can protect the lead. Given the upper hand in the major competitions, the Spain Women's National Football Team have had over the Lionesses, a 1-goal lead win is predicted in the UEFA Women's Euros 2025 Final.

Predicted Score: England 1-2 Spain
