England W vs Wales W: UEFA Women Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

On the last day of the group stage of the Women's European Championship, England Women will face off against Wales Women. When Sunday's match rolls around, the Lionesses will be heavy favorites to advance to the next round, while the Dragons will need a miracle even to make it to the quarterfinals. 

Previous Matches and Head-to-Head

England has been successful in the Women's Euros, advancing from the group stage three times, with their lone defeat being in 2013. However, they are currently tied with the Netherlands for third place, three points behind France, and three ahead of Wales. The Lionesses' performance in the 4-0 thrashing of the Netherlands on Wednesday was impressive, with Georgia Stanway, Ella Toone, and Lauren James scoring twice each.

If England wins, they will advance to the round of 16. However, if they lose by four goals or more, they will fall behind Wales, and if they fail to gain all three points, they will lose to the Netherlands. England's consistency has been lacking, with only three victories in their last six encounters.

Wales, despite displaying remarkable spirit, suffered another disheartening loss in their match against France. Wales started the season with a 3-0 loss to the Netherlands, but Jess Fishlock scored their first primary tournament goal. Les Bleus then added to their lead, ultimately defeating Wales 4-1 and sending them to the edge of elimination from the group stage.

To take second place in Group D, Wales needs a four-goal victory against England and the Dutch losing to France. Wales will be determined to snap their eight-game losing streak and secure their first big tournament victory, even if it is unrealistic to pull off such a scoreline against England.
