The football season is over; however, now the attention turns to the international scene. Tonight's Women's UEFA Nations League action sees current holders and World Champions, Spain, host European Champions England. Nothing less than a victory will work for England, as Spain has a two-point lead over the Lionesses.
We’ve picked out predictions and best bets for the match, including a 75/1 bet builder tip.
This game is a winner-takes-all situation for both of these sides heading into the final game of the Women's UEFA Nations League on Tuesday (03/06/2025). England will be under enormous pressure for the game, with the Lionesses knowing that only a win is required if they are to dethrone the World Champions at the top of the group.
Spain are coming into this game with terrific form behind them, as the home side have won their previous three matches and have scored first in six of their last eight games. These two sides met in the 2023 World Cup final, where Real Madrid's Olga Carmona scored the only goal of the game.
Spain possesses an excellent array of midfield options, which includes the Barcelona duo of Alexis Putellas and Aitana Bonmati. Putellas is a former two-time Ballon d'Or winner, while Bonmati was the player of the match in the World Cup final between the two teams. Bonmati is also the current Ballon d'Or holder.
England are expected to make life difficult for the World Champions, given the situation of the Lionesses being two points behind Spain in the group standings and needing a victory. The Champions League-winning duo of Alessia Russo and Chloe Kelly could pose a problem for Spain, as the pair were key contributors to Arsenal's success in the competition this season.
Spain should have enough quality to manage the game against England, with the Lionesses likely committing bodies forward to achieve victory, but that could prove to be their downfall. Both teams have scored in five of the last six matches involving Spain, and with England scoring six past Portugal on Friday, we think a 3-1 Spain win could be on the cards.
Spain 3-1 England
