The current world champions, Spain Women, and European title holders, England Women, clash in a FIFA Women’s World Cup European qualifier at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix in Mallorca on Friday. These are two of the strongest teams in women’s football, and their recent meetings have produced classics.
Spain are second in the Group C standings on nine points, three behind England at the top of the log after four matches. Iceland and Ukraine are the other teams in the group, though they have three and zero points, respectively.
Thanks for the submission!
In their most recent game, La Roja secured a dominant 5-0 win over Ukraine on 18 April, with Edna Imade scoring a brace alongside goals from Vicky Lopez, Maria Mendez, and Eva Navarro.
Meanwhile, England Women come into this game with a psychological advantage, having beaten Spain in their most recent fixture on 14 April, with Lauren Hemp’s third-minute strike enough to secure a massive three points against the current world champions.
That result served as some payback for the English women, as Spain won their first World Cup title by defeating England 1-0 in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup final.
Suffice it to say, these teams have some history, and this match is likely to be a cracker.

Spain Women vs England Women prediction
This encounter is a crucial group-stage fixture that will help determine which side secures the top spot in the qualification group.
Matches featuring these two sides are usually low-scoring and decided by a single goal. Spain typically dominate possession, but England have often been Spain’s bogey team, and this makes their rivalry even more special.
Home advantage gives Spain the edge, and we expect them to make the most of that and secure three valuable points.
