England Too Strong For Wales? Brown-finnis' Euros Predictions - Final Group Games

England tin make judge of a spot successful nan quarter-finals of Euro 2025 by beating Wales connected Sunday, but will nan holders get nan consequence they need?

BBC Sport shot master Rachel Brown-Finnis is predicting nan result of each 31 games successful Switzerland.

She sewage 7 of nan 8 2nd information of group matches correct, compared to 5/8 successful nan first group of games, but was caught retired by Portugal's tie pinch Italy.

You did not spot that consequence coming either, pinch 50% of you backing Italy to win, and for illustration Rachel you ended up pinch a people of 7/8 overall.

One of nan games that beautiful overmuch everyone was correct astir was Spain's triumph complete Belgium - 87% went pinch a triumph for nan world champions - but retired of nan thousands of votes, only 1 scholar sewage nan 6-2 scoreline spot-on. A large shout-out to them, for nan champion prediction of nan tourney truthful far.

Will you and Rachel do amended adjacent time? You tin make your ain predictions for nan last group of group games below.

Brown-Finnis has besides picked her 2 teams to spell done from each group into nan knockout stage, and fixed her reasons why.

She is backing England to triumph nan Euros again, and believes Wales won't get retired of their group.

I had Switzerland to spell done and americium sticking pinch that arsenic they are increasing into nan tournament. There is not a batch betwixt these 2 teams and a tie would do it for nan Swiss.

Finland person not peculiarly looked prolific. They sewage their 1-0 triumph complete Iceland successful nan opening crippled but nan reddish paper to Iceland's Hildur Antonsdottir helped them much than anything.

Switzerland were unlucky against Norway successful their opener but I judge they tin do it and nan Swiss crowd will thief pinch that. It would beryllium immense for nan tourney if nan big federation spell through.

A imaginable quarter-final necktie against Spain is connected nan cards but you can't look that acold ahead.

Brown-Finnis' prediction: 1-1

Norway are already done arsenic group winners and location is thing to play for truthful it's an opportunity to effort retired different players and I would expect immoderate changes.

In caller history they person been underachievers for each their ace firepower, but they person 2 types of performances and that first-half capacity against Switzerland was memorable for each nan incorrect reasons. It was an unrecognisable Norweigan team. For nan value connected nan pitch, they were 2/10 and immoderate players mightiness use from nan remainder against Iceland.

I tin spot Iceland getting thing from nan crippled because they will beryllium bitterly disappointed that they are already retired of nan tournament. They person had 2 draws against Norway already successful nan Nations League this twelvemonth and will want to beryllium a constituent and get nan win.

Brown-Finnis' prediction: 1-1

If Italy suffer to Spain and Portugal hit Belgium, we could person a business wherever nan quarter-finalist is decided connected extremity difference. That is simply a interest for Italy because arsenic we person already seen, Spain tin people six rather easily.

Spain request to debar conclusion to apical nan group and moreover if they remainder players I don't deliberation it will make immoderate quality because nan players they person brought connected person been players that would commencement successful astir different world teams.

Spain are playing for illustration a squad from different satellite and person been nan champion broadside to watch truthful far. They conscionable look to person clicked. Italy will beryllium a different test. They tin support nan shot rather well, they tin beryllium beingness and a small spot soiled astatine times and that could rattle Spain.

Italy person scored immoderate absolute peaches. I person really enjoyed watching them. They person improved massively. Italy are going for a triumph and it is improbable they are not going to spell through, but it could beryllium different really unfastened game.

Brown-Finnis' prediction: 1-3

I primitively thought Portugal would advancement from nan group down Spain but now it is simply a monolithic ask.

Facing Spain successful nan opener is ever tough, but nan 1-1 tie against Italy was nan captious crippled and nan 1 that killed Portugal. I had them to spell done but past Italy person improved much and they person edged it pinch much value successful nan last 3rd that Portugal person not had.

There is still a chance for Portugal and they person to spell for it. They cognize they are bully astatine attacking, they conscionable haven't had that last spot of value arsenic overmuch arsenic they would person needed.

Belgium person not had nan cutting separator and nan value to get nan points. They played against teams that person been really difficult to play against. We person seen Belgium tin drawback you connected nan counter-attack and they could get 3 points against which would beryllium a consolation, but thing else.

Brown-Finnis' prediction: 2-2

Both of these teams person a immense magnitude of pridefulness successful tourney shot but Sweden are sick to decease of being nan bridesmaids since their 1984 triumph, while Germany person won nan tourney a grounds 8 times successful nan past.

Germany, without their injured skipper Giulia Gwinn, will beryllium wounded but they want to beryllium they tin still push for nan title successful this conflict for apical spot successful nan group.

Sweden haven't conceded a extremity yet but it will beryllium a large inquire for them to support different cleanable expanse pinch nan German firepower.

Germany had 16,000 fans astatine their crippled against Denmark and will person immense support successful Zurich erstwhile again, but location will ever beryllium a oversea of Sweden's bluish and yellow. The fans mightiness travel into it but some sets of players are utilized to playing successful sellout stadiums some domestically and internationally and they are fresh for nan large stage.

Brown-Finnis' prediction: 0-1

There is thing riding connected this crippled and Denmark will beryllium truthful disappointed their tourney is over, pinch nan likes of their skipper Pernille Harder perchance playing her past tournament.

They had precocious hopes coming into Euro 2025, but to get Sweden and Germany successful that group was a reliable ask.

Poland haven't been embarrassed connected their awesome tourney debut and they person held their own.

They person made advancement and that's why they are present and they should beryllium very happy pinch that. I would emotion them to people a extremity and particularly Ewa Pajor because she is simply a value player. That would make history and she is astir apt nan correct personification to do that for Poland.

Brown-Finnis' prediction: 1-3

France's onslaught astatine this tourney has been frightening, pinch only Spain scoring much than them. The imaginable of nan squad hasn't ever translated into performances astatine awesome tournaments. Their squad is awesome conscionable connected paper, truthful arsenic a neutral it is awesome to spot them usage their players to get results and performances.

They are going to beryllium difficult to extremity but they person conceded goals and shown teams really you tin get astatine them. It will beryllium absorbing to spot if location is immoderate wavering.

The Netherlands will beryllium hopeless to bounce backmost and cognize they person nan value and nan strategies to wounded France. It will beryllium absorbing whether they commencement pinch Lineth Beerensteyn successful nan 9 garment and put Vivianne Miedema a small spot deeper. Miedema was beautiful overmuch man-marked by England and had nary breathing space.

England didn't fto nan Dutch play astatine all, but being well-beaten by nan Lionesses mightiness conscionable do what nan France crippled did for England and reinvigorate them. It could beryllium a really tasty game. France person scored loads of goals, but nan Netherlands are present to get done to nan knockouts.

Brown-Finnis' prediction: 2-3

Group D is going to spell correct to nan ligament and nan head-to-head betwixt nan location nations will beryllium nan biggest crippled for some teams.

I had afloat assurance that pinch nan evident task astatine hand, England would bring a full caller level of capacity against nan Netherlands and they did perfectly that. They pulled retired each nan stops and Sarina Wiegman's tactical tweaks and subtle changes worked brilliantly.

They each performed individually and collectively towards their maximum and it was all-round a really watertight performance. There were nary cracks. It was arsenic adjacent to a cleanable capacity arsenic you tin have.

For Jess Fishlock to people Wales' first ever extremity astatine a awesome tourney was really monumental and poignant and couldn't person been written amended arsenic a script. They didn't get nan consequence yet but to spell toe-to-toe pinch France was really impressive.

England cognize that it is not going to beryllium easy and will beryllium comparatively conservative. They won't want to time off immoderate gaps for Wales to nick something.

Wales would perfectly emotion to get thing from England, particularly if it intends that England don't spell done to nan knockout stages. They will effort and rattle nan Lionesses and want to spell retired pinch a bang. England request to not get drawn into that.

Brown-Finnis' prediction: 2-0
