Bet Builder Tip For England Women vs Portugal Women

England Women vs Portugal Women Bet Builder: Goals, corners, and cards featured in our 3-leg betting tip to make the most of Friday night’s opportunities.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for England Women vs Portugal Women, which has been placed with William Hill:

⚽ Alessia Russo to Score Anytime

Alessia Russo is expected to lead the line for England and remains a dependable figure in front of goal. Since emerging as one of the Lionesses’ standout forwards, she has frequently found the net against a range of opponents, particularly in front of home crowds. England’s attacking form at Wembley has been sharp, and with Sarina Wiegman’s side scoring freely in home games—such as the 5-0 thrashing of Belgium—Russo’s chances are promising.

England will dominate possession and create numerous opportunities, especially with service from the likes of Lauren James, Beth Mead, and Chloe Kelly. Russo’s intelligent movement and clinical finishing make her a constant threat. Portugal’s defence, which conceded 11 goals across two matches against Spain, has shown clear vulnerabilities. With Kika Nazareth missing and their backline relying on ageing legs like Ana Borges and Carole Costa, the Portuguese will likely struggle to cope with Russo’s physicality and positioning.

In high-stakes matches where England need a result to stay in contention for a Nations League finals berth, the urgency to score early and control the game plays into Russo’s strengths. With England having netted in every home game in the competition so far, backing the Arsenal striker to get on the scoresheet feels like a solid part of any matchday bet.

🟨 Over 4.5 Cards in the Match

Given the circumstances surrounding this fixture, a combative contest appears highly probable. Both nations are fighting for points—England are chasing Spain for top spot, while Portugal are just a single point clear of the relegation playoff position. Such stakes often breed tense, physical encounters.

Portugal, in particular, may struggle to contain England’s wide threats and central build-up. Players like Amado and Faria will be forced into challenges to break up rhythm, and as seen in their previous matches, the Portuguese midfield and defence are not afraid to commit fouls when stretched. Their back-to-back matches against Spain saw a flurry of cards, with signs of frustration clearly boiling over in those heavy defeats.

On the other hand, England are not immune to bookings either. The absence of key defenders like Millie Bright and Mary Earps may lead to slightly more desperate defending at times, particularly if Portugal look to exploit gaps on the counter. With UEFA referees generally quick to brandish yellows in competitive fixtures and with so much on the line, the over 4.5 cards market represents value.

Historically, Nations League matches—especially ones with qualification or relegation implications—see an uptick in fouls and bookings. Given the tactical fouls, added pressure and emotionally charged moments expected on Friday night, this line should be comfortably breached.

🥅 Each Team to Have Over 3 Corners

Both sides approach the game with attacking ambitions, and that’s often reflected in the number of corners won across 90 minutes. England, with their dominant possession-based style, tend to push teams deep and force a series of defensive blocks and last-ditch clearances that result in corner opportunities.

In the reverse fixture in Portugal, the Lionesses managed to rack up several corners as they looked to break down a compact defensive setup. The pattern is likely to repeat itself at Wembley, especially with dynamic wide players like Chloe Kelly and Lauren Hemp expected to drive at the full-backs. England’s set-piece routines also remain a strength, adding further incentive to get the ball into wide areas early and often.

As for Portugal, while they will spend periods of the game on the back foot, they are not without attacking merit. The likes of Diana Silva and Andreia Norton have shown they can get behind defences, and with England missing Mary Earps and adjusting to a reshuffled defence, Portugal could exploit transitional moments. In fact, the visitors have won four or more corners in five of their last seven away internationals.

Given both sides’ tendencies to play on the front foot and create half-chances in wide areas, a combined total of at least four corners each feels very achievable—even in a match where one team may dominate overall possession..
