Spain Women have solidified their status as Women’s Euro 2025 favourites by completing a flawless Group B campaign. They are now poised to begin the knockout stage, facing tournament hosts Switzerland, the runners-up from Group A, at the Wankdorf Stadium on Friday 18 July at 8pm (UK time).
Both teams to score (1/1 with BetMGM)
Spain have won all three of their games in the Women’s Euro 2025 so far, and they did so convincingly: 5-0 against Portugal, 6-2 against Belgium, and 3-1 against Italy. La Roja have been relentless, averaging nearly 75% possession and completely dominating each team they’ve faced.
However, they have also shown some vulnerability in defence, conceding at least one goal in every match. Montserrat Tomé’s squad furthermore allowed two big chances to both Belgium and Italy, which is notable given how minor possession their opponents had.
While it seems likely that Spain will advance, the situation may not be entirely secure, as Switzerland have also scored at least one goal in each of their games in the tournament so far.
Over 28.5 shots (8/15 with BetMGM)
Spain alone are averaging 25.0 shots per game in the Women’s Euro 2025, making it the second-highest mark among all teams, just behind Germany’s 26.0 shots. Switzerland ranks fourth with an average of 16.0 attempts per match. Therefore, when these two teams face off this Friday, it is pretty likely that they will combine for well over 30 shots.
Additionally, Switzerland have been averaging 54% possession in the tournament; however, this figure is expected to be significantly reduced against Spain. Despite maintaining 75% possession, Spain concedes an average of 8 shots per game, indicating that they are not entirely secure defensively.

How both teams go into Spain vs Switzerland
Spain have been favoured to win the Women’s Euro 2025 since the beginning, and they have demonstrated why in every match so far. They have achieved three victories out of three games, scoring 14 goals while conceding only three, without facing any real threat of defeat.
On the other hand, Switzerland have appeared inconsistent at times and struggled to perform well for an entire match. They have shown some promising play, as seen in the first half against Norway and the second half against Iceland, but they have yet to put together a complete performance over the full 90 minutes. Now, they are set to face their most formidable opponent yet.
Spain team news
Montserrat Tomé has all players available for selection, as no member of the Spain squad has been suspended or injured so far.
As anticipated, Alexia Putellas has been the standout performer, playing the full 90 minutes in all three group stage matches while scoring three goals and providing four assists. She currently leads all players in direct goal involvements in the tournament with seven, nearly double that of the nearest competitors, fellow Spaniard Esther González and Norway’s Signe Gaupset, both of whom have four.
Switzerland team news
Switzerland, much like Spain, have all its players available for selection since the competition began, providing coach Pia Sundhage with a full roster to choose from. Among the standout performers is Arsenal’s Lia Wälti, who has excelled in various aspects of the game, leading the team with 171 attempted passes and 146 completed passes. She has also been good in duels, contesting 37 and winning 29.
Spain vs Switzerland head-to-head
Spain will be looking forward to facing Switzerland more than the other way around, considering the recent encounters. Both teams have faced each other three times in the past couple of years (all in 2023), and La Roja won all three by an aggregate score of 17-2.
