England will begin their title defense next summer at Euro 2025 as they face France, Holland and Wales in what has been described as the “group of death”.
The Lionesses will travel to Switzerland next July hoping to repeat the historic summer that saw them crowned European champions in 2022.
England will be tested from the start after being drawn in a tough group of competitors. Sarina Wiegman will face her former Dutch side in the race for glory, as well as tournament newcomers France and Wales.
Combining historical match data from 2000 to 2023, bookmakers’ odds, with the latest UEFA and FIFA rankings, Oddspedia’s supercomputer has predicted who will emerge victorious at Euro 2025…
The Oppspedia Supercomputer has predicted that Spain is the most likely contender to take home the European trophy, with a 39.8% chance of winning.
This will come as no surprise after the team were crowned world champions at the FIFA Women’s World Cup last summer, beating England 1-0 in the final.
Spain has had a turbulent run of results in recent times, having dropped points to Italy and the Czech Republic in just 2024. The team also tasted defeat at the Paris Olympics, losing the bronze medal match to Germany by a score of 1-0.
Despite this, the nation always has an air of inevitability. FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati leads a group of exceptional talent, so it’s understandable that they are considered tournament favourites.
Defending champions England have just a 9.6% chance of winning Euro 2025, says Oddspedia’s supercomputer.
Despite being the winners of Euro 2022 and reaching the final of the World Cup in 2023, fans have doubts about England’s chances of lifting silverware next summer in Switzerland. A series of friendlies had fans worried about Wiegman’s style of play, but the coach has certainly proven her worth in major tournaments.
After winning the Euros with the Netherlands in 2017, and reuniting with England in 2022, Wiegman has shown that the European stage belongs to him.
England will be keen to become only the second nation to win the tournament twice in a row, currently chasing Germany who lifted the trophy five times in a row between 1995 and 2013.
