Spain W vs Switzerland W prediction: EUROPE: Euro Women – Play Offs betting tips on match 2025-07-17 19:00.
[p]The quarter-final stage of the 2025 UEFA Women’s Championship continues on Friday as the tournament’s most in-form side, Spain, take on plucky hosts Switzerland, who managed to engineer a dramatic progression to the knockout rounds.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Spain have arguably been the best team so far at the Euros, winning each of their three group-stage matches while netting 14 goals in the process. Their dominance is highlighted by the fact that their average of 4.7 goals per game is the highest in the competition’s history during a single edition of the tournament at present. Despite their recent dominance, they’ve got a major historical obstacle conspiring against them here as they’ve actually been beaten at the quarter-final stage in each of the last three Euro finals![/p]
[p]Hosts Switzerland will be desperate to cause one of the biggest shocks in the competition’s history and will arrive here in fine spirits after a 92nd-minute equaliser against Finland sealed their quarter-final place. It’s the first time that they’ve reached the knockout rounds of the Euros, but having lost their only two such matches at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, they will need to be at their very best here to stand any chance of reaching the semi-finals. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Spain have won six of their 10 games against Switzerland (D1, L3), winning each of the last four H2Hs by a 19-2 aggregate score. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Spain have scored 2+ first-half goals in each of their last five competitive H2Hs.[/p]
[p]Spain have netted 3+ goals in seven of their last eight internationals.[/p]
[p]Switzerland have scored no more than one goal in each of their last four H2Hs.[/p]
[p]Each of Switzerland’s three group-stage matches at this Euros saw them record 4+ corners, winning 17 in total.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Spain’s Athenea del Castillo struck a brace when they beat Switzerland 7-1 in October 2023 – Spain have won by 2+ goals on 12 of her 14 scoring appearances at international level. GĂ©raldine Reuteler will hope to be Switzerland’s lucky charm, as she is the only player on her side to have scored and recorded an assist at Euro 2025. [/p]
[p]Luckily for both managers heading into this match, neither side have any definite injuries or suspensions to contend with, although Spain’s Esther González, the top scorer at the tournament after the group stage, is a doubt.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Spain attempted 20+ shots in each of their three group-stage matches, so backing over 20 Spain shots here could prove fruitful.[/p]
