England W vs Wales W prediction: EUROPE: Euro Women betting tips on match 2025-07-12 19:00.
[p]It’s an all British affair in St. Gallen on Sunday evening as holders England look to hold on to second place and progress from Group D in the UEFA Women’s European Championship, while Wales’ progression hopes are all but over.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After losing their opening game 2-1 against France on Saturday, England responded in perfect fashion by thumping the Netherlands 4-0 on matchday two. With a place in the last eight up for grabs, the Lionesses have to snap a pattern that has seen their last seven games alternate between wins and defeats to keep up a proud record which has seen them qualify from the group stage in three of the last four tournaments. The simplest way for them to stretch that run here is to win this game, as anything less than that will leave the door open for the Netherlands.[/p]
[p]A 4-1 defeat to France in their second group stage game means that Wales have now lost four matches on the bounce and conceded 11 goals in their last three fixtures alone. Although results have been poor, there was cause for celebration on Wednesday when they scored their first-ever goal at a major tournament. Rhian Wilkinson’s side will reach the quarter-finals if they beat England by 4+ goals and the Netherlands lose to France, but even holding up their end of the bargain seems unlikely given that Wales have never beaten a top-ten ranked side.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the first H2H between the sides since 2018, with England unbeaten across all four previous meetings (W3, D1). The last clash saw England win 3-0, while Wales are still yet to find the back of the net in the fixture.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]England have kept a clean sheet in each of their last six victories.[/p]
[p]Six of England’s last seven games saw at least two first-half goals.[/p]
[p]Wales have conceded the first goal of the game in all eight of their fixtures in 2025.[/p]
[p]Wales haven’t scored more than once in any of their last eight games.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]After drawing a blank against France, Alessia Russo was back to her best against the Netherlands with three assists, and she has combined with Georgia Stanway for a goal in each of England’s last two victories. Jess Fishlock is the only Wales player to have scored across their last four games, with both matches ending in 4-1 defeats![/p]
[p]There are no suspensions or new injury concerns for either side ahead of this fixture. [/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Wales have scored only five times in eight games this year, and considering their overall H2H record in front of goal against England, backing a clean sheet for the Lionesses looks like a smart bet.[/p]
