Best Bet for France Women vs England Women

Sunday morning in Zurich isn’t the time most of us expect fireworks, but this clash at the Women’s Euro 2025 could blow the roof off. France and England lock horns in what might already be one of the most anticipated games of the tournament — and we’re still in the group stage. There’s no easing into this one. It’s heavyweight versus heavyweight. The sort of encounter where the opening whistle might as well be a starter pistol at the Olympics.

Les Bleues enter this tie in scintillating touch, riding the wave of eight consecutive wins. They’ve made a habit of dismantling decent teams, most recently dishing out a five-goal thrashing to Belgium. The French squad looks healthy — which is more than can be said for England. Wiegman’s side are hobbling into this one with a medical report that reads more like a war diary. Millie Bright, Millie Turner and Ella Morris aren’t even in the squad. Lauren James is limping her way toward fitness, and Ruby Mace is still touch and go.

Still, England are never to be underestimated. They know how to navigate tournaments, and despite the cracks, there’s enough firepower to make this a true battle. But one can’t help but feel the pressure’s creeping in for the defending champions. France, with their depth and confidence, won’t show mercy.

Best Bet for France vs England: France to Win

Here at BettingTips4You.com, we don’t clutter your feed with 12 different picks and leave you drowning in doubt. We give you one prediction. The best one. The only one you need. And for this titanic encounter, we’re firmly backing France to win.

There’s something building in this French camp. It’s not just form — though eight straight wins tell their own story — it’s belief. Under new management, the squad finally looks like a cohesive unit, not just a collection of talent. Amel Majri and Kadidiatou Diani bring pace and sharpness in the final third, while Griedge Mbock Bathy provides the stability in defence that they’ve sometimes lacked in previous tournaments.

England, on the other hand, are entering this with more than a few warning lights flashing. Losing three senior defenders is brutal in any match — never mind against a team brimming with attackers. The depth’s been stretched, and while the attacking quartet led by Alessia Russo can do damage, the cohesion across the pitch isn’t what it was during the 2022 title run.

Let’s not pretend there isn’t emotion here. The Lionesses are proud and have a habit of rising to the occasion. But sometimes, emotion isn’t enough when the tactical balance is off and injuries have done their damage. With their fully fit squad, France have the tools — and the motivation — to land a decisive early blow.

BettingTips4You.com expert quote:

“France have the momentum, the fitness and the tactical edge. If England are dreaming of another fairytale, France look ready to turn it into a nightmare.” – Gram Dodd, BettingTips4You.com

This could be a defining moment for both sides. But all signs point to France making it theirs.

Correct Score Prediction: France 2-1 England

Given both teams’ firepower and the trend of goals in previous meetings, a clean sheet for either feels unlikely. France have that extra spark, and a 2-1 win for them seems the most balanced outcome — one where England put up a fight, but ultimately fall short.
