Sweden vs. England 2025 Women's EURO Betting Odds

Sweden is undefeated in this tournament so far. The No. 6 team in the world scored eight goals, allowing just one in their three group-stage matches. The Swedes took down Denmark 1-0 (No. 12), Poland 3-0 (No. 27), and Germany 4-1 (No. 3). Now they face a top-five team in the Lionesses of England.

The defending EURO Champions started off this tournament losing to France 2-1 (No. 10). However, then they rallied for two huge wins, beating the Netherlands 4-0 (No. 11) and Wales 6-1 (No. 30). They look to keep their momentum rolling in this quarterfinal matchup.

Sweden won the Women's EURO back in 1984 over England, but have not reached the finals since 2001, losing that year and in 1995. They made it to the semifinals back in 2022, but were skunked by England, losing 4-0. Here they have quite the revenge spot. As for the Lionesses, they won it in 2022 for the first time after losing to Sweden in the Final in 1984, and finishing second in 2009 as well.

England is looking to make their way to a third straight Women's EURO Semifinal, but can the Swedes stop them?

Both are top 10 in the world. And both are battle tested in this tournament. England already knows the feeling of defeat, and Sweden is looking for some revenge that has been brewing for three years.

The Lionesses have been on a scoring fury since losing to the French, but so have the Swedes, netting four against a very good German back line. Clearly the books think this one stays low scoring, and while I agree, I think this benefits Sweden more. The English back line is rock solid, and they have plenty to play for, but they are best when they get forward in numbers and utilize their attack.

Today, they may have to trail back and focus on the defensive end more than they are used to.

Best Bet: Sweden or Draw Double Chance (-145) BetOnline

I'll pay some juice here as I think Sweden is in a prime spot to take down England. Not only do they have the taste of last EURO's semifinal loss still fresh on their tongue, but they've looked incredible overall.

The Swedish women have scored eight goals on six assists, four coming against the No. 3 team in the world. Prior to this EURO, Sweden beat Norway 2-0 and Denmark 6-1, two huge victories over two top-15 teams. Sweden's last loss on the international level was in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Semifinals, where they were beaten by eventual champion, Spain, 2-1 with three goals coming in the final 10 minutes of play.

This team has all the intangibles in the world. They've beaten England before. And I trust them to make a name for themselves on the international level by taking down the defending champs and ensuring a date with Italy in the 2025 Women's EURO Semifinals next week.

Prediction: Sweden Wins 2-1 (+1150)
