Semi-final Recap
Booth nations required extra-time to get through their respective Semi-final matches. England looked set to crash out against Italy, trailing 1-0 from the 33rd minute before supersub Michelle Agyemang climbed off the bench to score a 96th-minute equaliser. Fellow substitute Chloe Kelly scored the winning goal one minute from time in extra-time.
Spain’s Semi-final tie against Germany was a cagey affair and remained goalless through the first 90 minutes. Aitana Bonmati sent the world champions into Sunday’s final, scoring the game’s only goal with 113 minutes on the clock.
Team News
England Team News
Sarina Wiegman has confirmed that all 23 players are available for selection ahead of Sunday’s final, but fitness concerns linger over Lauren James, who limped off with an ankle issue late in the Semi-final win over Italy. The Chelsea winger has trained cautiously in the buildup and faces a late fitness test. Should she miss out, Beth Mead or Chloe Kelly, who made a telling impact off the bench in the last round, could come into the starting XI.
Michelle Agyemang is another pushing hard for inclusion after scoring within minutes of coming on in the semi-final. Leah Williamson, Lucy Bronze and Alex Greenwood are expected to form a familiar back three alongside Esme Morgan or Niamh Charles at full-back. Ella Toone is likely to keep her place in the No.10 role, supporting lone striker Alessia Russo in a settled 4-2-3-1.
Predicted England XI: Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Greenwood, Charles; Walsh, Stanway; James, Toone, Hemp; Russo.
Spain Team News
Spain are expected to revert to a full-strength lineup for Sunday’s final, with Laia Aleixandri set to return at centre-back after serving a one-match suspension. She should partner Irene Paredes at the heart of defence, with Ona Batlle and Olga Carmona continuing in the full-back roles. In midfield, Aitana Bonmatí, Patri Guijarro and Alexia Putellas form a settled trio, providing balance, control and goal threat in equal measure. Up front, Esther Gonzalez is likely to lead the line once again, having netted four times already this tournament. Claudia Pina and Mariona Caldentey are favourites to start on the flanks, though Athenea del Castillo offers an explosive alternative after impressing from the bench in recent outings.
Predicted Spain XI: Coll; Batlle, Paredes, Aleixandri, Carmona; Bonmati, Guijarro, Putellas; Pina, Gonzalez, Caldentey.
England v Spain: Head-to-Head
Spain and England’s last meeting came in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup final in Sydney. Spain dominated large spells of the match with Olga Carmona’s 29th-minute strike proving decisive. Mary Earps’ penalty save from Jennifer Hermoso gave England hope late on but Sarina Wiegman’s side struggled to break down Spain’s disciplined defence and Spain were deserved winners, lifting the trophy for the first time in their history. The defeat ended England’s hopes of completing a historic Euros–World Cup double.

EveryTip.com Betting Tips
Spain edged England in the 2023 World Cup Final and have looked sharp throughout this tournament, particularly in midfield where Bonmatí and Guijarro have controlled games. With England struggling for fluency and carrying fitness concerns over key players like Lauren James, the value lies with the reigning world champions to repeat the feat. Spain to win in 90 minutes is priced fairly at 4/6 with Tote.
Finals are often cagey affairs and both teams boast excellent defensive records. Given that four of the last five meetings between these sides have produced under 2.5 goals, we’re expecting another low-scoring Final on Sunday. BoyleSports is offering odds of 10/11 on under 2.5 match goals (90 minutes only).
With La Roja proving adept at grinding out narrow victories on the big stage. Their 1-0 win over England in the 2023 World Cup final fits the bill perfectly and with four of the last five meetings between these sides producing under three goals, another cagey contest feels likely. Combining Spain to win and under 2.5 goals looks like a smart way of boosting your odds at 3/1 with TalkSPORT Bet.
Spain forward Esther Gonzalez has scored four times at this tournament and will lead the line again. She found the net against England at Euro 2022 and remains their main threat inside the box. Esther Gonzalez to score at any time is priced fairly at 13/10 with BetMGM however with goals expected to be at a premium in Basel, backing the 32-year-old to score first at 9/2 with Betfred could be the shrewd choice here.
