Bet Builder Tip For Switzerland Women vs Norway Women

The opening night of Women’s Euro 2025 delivers a compelling Group A contest as Switzerland Women welcome Norway Women to St Jakob-Park in Basel. While the Swiss hope home advantage can spark a much-needed revival, Norway enter this one with psychological superiority, having already beaten the hosts twice this year.

With both teams coming into the tournament off patchy form and key players on display, this is an ideal fixture to build a value-driven Bet Builder. Let’s explore each leg of this treble in more detail.

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

⚽ Ada Hegerberg to Score Anytime

If Norway are to make a mark at Euro 2025, their best route forward is through Ada Hegerberg. The Lyon striker remains the most potent weapon at Gemma Grainger’s disposal and brings experience, technique and instinct to a side that often struggles to turn possession into clear chances.

Despite Norway’s modest scoring returns lately — they’ve only netted more than once in one of their last five matches — Hegerberg continues to stand out. Her ability to find space in crowded boxes, hold off defenders, and convert under pressure gives her a cutting edge that Switzerland are unlikely to match, especially without the injured Ramona Bachmann.

Switzerland’s defence, already weakened in recent months, has conceded in four of their last five outings and looked vulnerable even in victory against the Czech Republic. With service from wide areas via Guro Reiten and Caroline Graham Hansen, Hegerberg is expected to have the chances to make her mark — and she rarely needs many.

🟨 Marit Bratberg Lund to be Carded

While not always in the spotlight, Marit Bratberg Lund’s role at left-back is crucial — both for Norway’s shape and their ability to deal with quick transitions. Her aggressive defensive approach often sees her commit early challenges to disrupt play, and against a Swiss side expected to counter in bursts, that risk only increases.

Lund has had disciplinary issues before and tends to be booked when matched against fast wide players. Switzerland’s Smilla Vallotto and Reuteler will look to exploit the space behind Norway’s defence, particularly when the full-backs push forward. If Lund is caught high up the pitch, she could be drawn into tactical fouls to prevent breakaways.

In a high-pressure opener, where early momentum is everything, full-backs are often forced to overcommit. Given the context of this being the tournament’s first match — where nerves are high and players are keen to set the tone physically — Lund’s style of play could easily land her in the referee’s book.

🟨 Vilde Bøe Risa to be Carded

Operating at the base of Norway’s midfield, Vilde Bøe Risa is the sort of player who takes on the dirty work so others don’t have to. Her role is to break up play, cover the back four and prevent quick counters through the middle. Against Switzerland, who will likely play with energy and drive in midfield, she’s going to be heavily involved defensively.

In matches like this, especially when Norway are expected to see more of the ball, Bøe Risa becomes crucial in transition. That often means pulling back runners or making late challenges to kill momentum — the kind of fouls that draw yellow cards.

Her positioning also places her directly opposite players like Lia Wälti and Xhemaili, who thrive on receiving between the lines. Bøe Risa may be drawn into risky tackles in dangerous zones. Add in the intensity of a tournament debut and her disciplinary vulnerability is hard to ignore.
