UEFA Women's Euros: Spain Predicted as Major Underdog to Take the Title
Spain and Switzerland Set for Quarter-Final Showdown in UEFA Women's Euro
The UEFA Women's European Championship is heating up, and on Friday, Spain and Switzerland will go head-to-head in a highly anticipated quarter-final match.
Spain, who have been the dominant team in the tournament thus far, have a 1-1-1 record through the first three games, scoring four goals and allowing three. They topped their group with convincing wins in the group stage, including a 5-0 victory over Portugal, a 6-2 win against Belgium, and a 3-1 triumph over Italy. This marked the first time Spain advanced as group winners in the tournament's history[1].
In the quarter-finals, Spain secured a 2-0 win over Switzerland, despite missing two penalties[2][4]. This was their fourth consecutive home victory against Switzerland, with the past three matches going to Spain by a combined total of 17-2[1][4].
On the other hand, Switzerland reached the quarter-finals for the first time, finishing second in their group. Their journey included a dramatic 1-1 draw versus Finland that secured progression[1][4]. As hosts, this marked a historic high for their team[1].
Historically, these two teams have never met before in the UEFA Women's Euro final tournaments until the 2025 edition, where Spain defeated Switzerland 2-0 in the quarter-finals[2][1]. The head-to-head record in qualifiers shows a mix of early results favoring Switzerland, but recent dominance by Spain[1].
The last time Switzerland managed to beat Spain was back in 2012, with a score of 4-3[1]. In contrast, Spain has a 5-1-0 record all-time against Switzerland, with Spain outscoring Switzerland 25-8[1].
Despite Switzerland's impressive run in the tournament, bookmakers favour Spain, giving two and a half goals to Switzerland at legal sports betting sites[3]. This trend aligns with Spain's recent performance, having won each game by at least two goals while Switzerland's only loss came by one goal[1].
However, Switzerland has shown resilience, scoring at least one goal in each match so far[1]. It remains to be seen whether they can pull off an upset against the tournament's dominant team, Spain.
