Bet Builder Tip For Spain Women vs Portugal Women

Spain Women open their Euro 2025 campaign as world champions and one of the tournament favourites, and they face familiar opposition in Iberian rivals Portugal on Thursday night in Bern. After back-to-back routs over the same opposition earlier this year, La Roja enter this clash full of belief and sharpness. Portugal, meanwhile, are chasing a first knockout-stage qualification at this level and come in with modest expectations following a shaky Nations League campaign and a recent dip in form.

We’ve pieced together a Bet Builder with three selections designed to reflect the match dynamics, recent team trends and tactical style of both sides.

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

✅ Leg 1: Salma Paralluelo (Putellas) to Score Anytime

Despite Alexia Putellas often getting top billing, Salma Paralluelo has rapidly become one of Spain’s most clinical finishers in the final third. Her pace, awareness and composure make her a constant threat, especially against sides like Portugal, who have struggled to contain movement in behind. Spain’s recent meetings with Portugal saw them fire home seven and four goals respectively, and with so many chances being created from wide areas and through midfield, the Barcelona forward is likely to be on the end of at least one.

The 20-year-old has thrived under Montse Tomé’s attacking setup, often drifting in from the left or breaking lines with her direct runs. She bagged multiple goals in Euro qualifiers and has already netted against Portugal in the past calendar year.

Portugal’s defensive record offers further encouragement. They have shipped 20 goals in their last five outings, and their centre-backs have looked overwhelmed when facing aggressive runners — exactly the profile Salma fits.

💡 Key Insight: Spain scored 11 goals across their two most recent meetings with Portugal. Salma has become a central figure in that attacking success.

✅ Leg 2: Aitana Bonmatí to Be Carded

Bonmatí is widely recognised for her technical brilliance, but she also brings a feisty, competitive streak that often sees her tread the disciplinary line. Although she’s only just returned from a recent health issue, her presence in midfield remains crucial. Spain’s high-pressing game often requires their central players to break up play quickly — and Bonmatí is usually right at the heart of it.

In games where Spain dominate possession but face quick counters — as is likely with Portugal’s Diana Silva and Jessica Silva up top — Aitana can often find herself resorting to tactical fouls to prevent transitions. Combine that with tournament intensity and an eager referee, and a booking becomes more plausible.

Additionally, players returning from a layoff tend to mistime tackles or overcompensate in high-tempo matches. Given her role as a midfield anchor and enforcer, Bonmatí could be walking a fine line throughout.

💡 Key Insight: With Portugal likely to rely on counter-attacks, Bonmatí’s position and role make her a prime candidate for tactical fouls and potential cautions.

✅ Leg 3: Over 10 Corners in Total

Matches involving Spain frequently see high corner counts, owing to their relentless attacking intent and wide play. Their style of pushing full-backs high and loading the box results in a steady stream of blocked crosses and forced saves — both of which add to the corner tally. Players like Ona Batlle and Olga Carmona stretch the pitch, while midfielders feed runners like Salma and Pina, keeping defences pinned back and inviting last-ditch clearances.

Portugal’s own corner count might also add value. Despite being second-best in many contests, they still earn set-pieces through quick breaks and isolated forays forward. With Jessica Silva’s dribbling and Amado’s overlaps, there’s every chance Portugal contribute a few of their own.

This match looks set to be played largely in the Portuguese half, but with over 10 corners in each of Spain’s last three competitive matches — including 12 in the 4-2 win over Portugal — it’s a line that looks very achievable.

💡 Key Insight: Spain average over six corners per match across all competitions in the past year; recent head-to-head meetings with Portugal saw corner totals of 11 and 13.
