England look to defend their European crown, while world champions Spain aim to topple them

England will face Spain in the 2025 European Championship final on Sunday.

A win for Wiegman and co would also mark England’s second major senior title in the sport in three years after a trophy drought spanning over half a century.

For Spain, victory on Sunday would mean a maiden Euro triumph and make them only the third nation to hold both the Women’s World Cup and European Championship titles simultaneously.

Norway became the first to attain that particular honour in 1995, by winning the global tournament in the summer before ceding their Euro crown to Germany several months later. Die Nationalelf - who have won the Euros a record eight times - were then holders of both trophies from 2003 until 2011, when they suffered an early elimination from their home World Cup at the hands of eventual champions Japan.

All to play for in Basel, then.

England vs Spain team news

The Lionesses will await news on Lauren James’s availability, after the Chelsea forward was substituted at half-time of the semi-final win over Italy with an ankle issue. Beth Mead took her place in that tie and won the penalty that lead to England’s decisive goal in extra time, so may be the direct replacement again on Sunday if James does miss out.

Chloe Kelly will also hope to be considered for a starting spot, though, having inspired comebacks from the bench in two straight matches for Sarina Wiegman.

The same is true of 19-year-old Agyemang, though Wiegman - rarely one to make frequent tweaks to her starting XI - will likely keep the Arsenal teenager as an impact sub for now.

England skipper Leah Williamson, meanwhile, started and completed 85 minutes against Italy after overcoming an ankle injury sustained in the quarter-finals. Her late substitution in Tuesday’s semi-final is believed to have been merely tactical, with the Lionesses still chasing the game at that point.

Elsewhere in the English backline, Esme Morgan was Wiegman’s sole change to the line-up for the semi-final, replacing Jess Carter in a tactical move. Morgan had a tidy enough outing, so it will be the boss’s call whether to stick or twist again.

Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll missed the group stage due to tonsillitis but returned for her country’s quarter-final win over host nation Switzerland, and was solid between the posts against Germany in the semis as well.

It meant suspended defender Laia Aleixandri was the only absentee in Wednesday’s semi-final compared to the previous round, with Maria Mendez was chosen by Montse Tome to partner captain Irene Paredes in the backline.

Salma Paralluelo and Athenea del Castillo both made noticeable impacts after being introduced in the second half for Claudia Pina and Esther Gonzalez, respectively.

Indeed, it was del Castillo that played the pass out for Bonmati to finish from a tight angle at the otherwise exceptional Ann-Katrin Berger’s near post in extra time.

There’s a chance both could be in with a shot at the starting XI if Tome fancies a change for the final.

England vs Spain prediction

It’s a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final, which Spain won 1-0. England have beaten the Spaniards since then, and - despite their own shortcomings against Italy - may take some comfort in the fact that it took Tome’s team so long to eventually break the Germans down on Thursday.

With revenge for two years ago a factor, and a title defence on the line, the Lionesses might just eke out a win in Basel.

England to win, 2-1.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

England have a positive head-to-head record against Spain despite losing the 2023 World Cup final, which was one of only four Spanish women’s victories against the English in history. The others came in the Nations League in June, then 2020 and 2013 before that.

The Lionesses have beaten Sunday’s opponents once since the World Cup, in a Nations League match in February, and also knocked them out of Euro 2022.
