One of the pre-tournament favourites and world champions, the Spain Women's national football team, begins their UEFA Women's Euro 2025 campaign against Portugal. They are placed in Group B alongside Belgium, Portugal and Italy. Here's Sportsdunia's Spain vs Portugal Preview:

Spain are the clear favourites to win this group and finish at the top, but it won't be an easy task as all the teams are very well prepared and anything can happen. They have an impressive and high-quality squad who have immense experience playing at the top level. Even though they were surrounded by some controversy in the last couple of years after the World Cup, now everything is ok, and they will look to win this prestigious tournament. They have a great record against Portugal and will look to keep it up when they lock horns against each other on Friday.

Portugal are at the European Championship for the third time, all coming in consecutive tournaments. They are looking to make it out of the group for the first time. They have improved in the last few years, but still, quality-wise, Spain are a much better side. They performed well in the Qualifiers as they finished top in their group. This tournament is going to take place in Switzerland. Portugal has failed to beat Spain and hasn't even played out a draw against them. Mentally, they will have to be full of confidence and believe then only they can get a good record against the World Champions. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Technically, she is one of the best in the world, and she will be the biggest threat to the Portuguese team. This season, she played 34 games in which she scored 19 goals and provided 11 assists.

Even though the Reds are missing some key players, they are still a very strong side. They are full of experienced players and youth players who can get them the win. On the other hand, Portugal has suffered some very disappointing losses and will look to get their first draw against the Spanish side. This will be an exciting clash for sure.
