Spain Women vs. England Women: UEFA Nations Match Predictions

On Tuesday at the RCDE Stadium, in yet another repeat of the World Cup final, the women's national teams of Spain and England will face off in a winner-take-all encounter for a spot in the Women's UEFA Nations League Finals.

On Friday, Sarina Wiegman's squad pounded Portugal 6-0 to keep within striking distance of the reigning world champions, who also dominated Belgium 5-1.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

England took control of a game on Friday night, scoring six goals to secure their first position in the Nations League Finals. Aggie Beever-Jones, a 21-year-old Chelsea sensation, stole the show with a hat trick in the 33rd minute. Chloe Kelly, Beth Mead, and Lucy Bronze also scored on an almost perfect evening. Despite news of Mary Earps's international retirement, the Lionesses focused on their on-field performance in preparation for an intriguing Euro championship defence.

To qualify for the continental championships, England must earn a berth in the Nations League Finals. They are two points behind the leaders, Spain, in League A Group 3. Spain has been on an offensive wave, storming to a 5-0 lead in their last group game before scoring a meaningless consolation, keeping their 2025 Nations League Finals berth in their hands.

Montse Tome's squad, led by Alba Redondo and Esther Gonzalez and substitute Athenea del Castillo, scored an incredible 11 goals in two matches against Portugal in April. With a win or draw on Tuesday night, Tome's squad would secure first position. Spain has scored two goals or more in every one of their last seven home Nations League games, with the only loss being in December 2023.

To compete for gold later this year, the Lionesses must replicate their 1-0 loss to England at Wembley in February.

Grace Clinton's second yellow card of the current Nations League campaign meant that she would miss Tuesday's encounter due to suspension; this was the only negative aspect of England's thrashing of Portugal.

After suffering a significant knee injury in March of 2025, Wiegman's successor, Georgia Stanway, is more than capable. Stanway made her Lionesses debut of 2025 off the bench on Friday.

Kelly has placed her name in the pot for a starting job on the left side, ahead of Lauren Hemp, but Fran Kirby is another option in case Stanway isn't considered ready for a starting role just yet.

Due to calf issues, neither Ella Toone nor Alessia Russo was able to play on Friday. Still, fans are hoping that the two former Manchester United teammates will be able to participate here.

Although Laia Codina, a teammate of Russo's at Arsenal, pulled out of the squad before the start of their May games due to an injury, the reigning world champions are generally in good physical condition.

With England's Kelly trying to break in on the left wing and the hosts' Del Castillo doing the same, Claudia Pina's starting position might be in jeopardy.

This matchup is sure to live up to all the anticipation leading up to it; Spain doesn't have to play their best game, but England can't afford to lose in Catalonia.

So, Wiegman's squad should have fun scoring goals, but Tome's squad can also fight back to get a crucial point and knock England out of the cup.
