Spain
England

Match preview
Spain come into this one as reigning world champions and one of the most vibrant, well-balanced teams in women's football. Monse Tomé's side have looked assured throughout the group stage, chalking up wins in most of their matches.
This team perfectly blends technique, pace, and a high level of passing culture. Spain are especially dangerous at home — their possession often exceeds 60%, and they consistently create plenty of chances.
Even a draw against England will secure Spain top spot in the group and a place in the semifinals. It's worth recalling that Spain won the inaugural Women's Nations League last year.
In early July, Spain will kick off their Euro 2025 campaign, facing Portugal, Italy, and Belgium in the group stage. Notably, the European Championship remains the one major tournament Spain have yet to win.
England also arrive in strong form. Sarina Wiegman's squad are renowned for their organized play, physical fitness, and powerful wing attacks.
The Lionesses are not far behind Spain in terms of squad depth and quality, and this match will serve as a key dress rehearsal ahead of the European Championship finals, where England will defend their continental crown.
There’s still plenty of intrigue in the Nations League group as well. Should England win, they’ll book a spot in the semifinals and have a real shot at taking the tournament title.
Earlier in this campaign, England managed to beat Spain at home, but a surprise defeat to Belgium leaves them as underdogs going into this decisive encounter. Either way, we're in for a fascinating battle between two of Europe's and the world's elite teams.

Prediction
These teams regularly face off at major tournaments, and their encounters are always fiercely contested. England came out on top at Euro 2022, but Spain got their revenge at the 2023 World Cup. Both matches were intense and packed with scoring chances. With both sides committed to attacking football and boasting an array of offensive talent, there’s no reason to expect a dull affair. My bet: over 2 total goals.
