Women’s Euro 2025: Spain Lead Odds, But England Eye Back-to-Back Titles

The countdown to the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 has officially begun, and while England prepares to defend its crown, Spain enters the tournament in Switzerland as the clear betting favourite.

Following a remarkable year in which Spain secured both the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the UEFA Nations League, La Roja are now 2/1 favourites to lift the continental trophy. However, England, led by Sarina Wiegman, aren’t far behind at 4/1, still riding the high from their historic 2022 triumph at Wembley.

That victory, secured by Chloe Kelly’s dramatic extra-time strike against Germany, ignited a new era for the Women’s Super League, which continues to grow in both quality and popularity.

Spain’s domestic dominance, particularly through Barcelona Femení, contributes to their strong status. But they won’t have it easy in a Group B packed with contenders like Italy, Portugal, and Belgium—each capable of causing upsets.

Meanwhile, Group D promises fireworks. England face a daunting trio: France, Netherlands, and debutants Wales. France, searching for a tournament breakthrough, are reinvigorated by the return of Marie-Antoinette Katoto from injury. The Dutch, 2017 champions, are eager to reclaim their place among Europe’s best.

In Group A, host nation Switzerland will rely heavily on veteran midfielder Lia Walti—known for her vision and poise in the middle of the park—as they take on Norway, Iceland, and Finland. Norway hopes to overcome the ghosts of their 8-0 loss to England in the last Euros.

Elsewhere, Germany and Sweden headline Group C, while Poland, with Barcelona striker Ewa Pajor, look to punch above their weight in a tough group.

Also drawing attention are emerging stars like Michelle Agyemang, Ellen Wangerheim, and Signe Gaupset, players who could shape the narrative as Europe’s best meet in Basel on July 27 for the final.
