Spain vs Belgium prediction, H2H and probable lineups — 7 July 2025
Spain
Belgium
On Monday, July 7, in the second round of the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 group stage, Spain will take on Belgium. I'm offering a bet on the total number of goals in this match.
Key facts and head-to-head history
- Spain have won 9 of their last 10 matches.
- The Spanish national team has never won the European Championship.
- Belgium's best result at the Euros is a quarterfinal in 2022.
- Spain have beaten Belgium in five consecutive matches.
Match preview
Spain are the reigning world champions. This squad features some of the very best players in the world in recent years, representing the most successful clubs. Names like Aitana Bonmatí and Alexia Putellas speak for themselves. Unsurprisingly, Spain are considered the top favorites for the European crown by bookmakers.
At the very start of the tournament, the Spanish team lived up to their super-favorite status. Even without Aitana Bonmatí in the starting lineup, Spain scored four goals in the first half against Portugal. In the end, Tome Montserrat's side celebrated a commanding 5-0 victory.
Belgium are a mid-tier force in European football. This is their third-ever European Championship appearance—and their third in a row. However, the Belgians have never advanced beyond the quarterfinals. In qualifying, Belgium lost in the group stage to both Denmark and Spain, but earned their Euro spot by defeating Greece and Ukraine in the playoffs.
There is a real chance that this match against Spain could end Belgium's hopes of reaching the knockout stage. In the opener, Belgium narrowly lost to Italy (0-1), conceding the only goal in the 44th minute. A defeat to Spain, combined with an Italian win over Portugal, would send Belgium home early.
Probable lineups
- Spain: Coll, Batlle, Méndez, Aleixandri, Carmona, López, Guijarro, Putellas, Bonmatí, Pina, González
- Belgium: Lichtfus, Tysiak, Kees, Cayman, Tullings, Vanhaevermaet, Deluze, Janssens, Toloba, Ourlings, Vullaert
Spain vs Belgium prediction
There is a clear favorite in this matchup—the Spanish national team. I expect an open, high-scoring game, so my bet is on over 3.5 total goals.
