England Women vs Netherlands Women Prediction: 7/1 Double, Team News & More

The Lionesses will bid to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to France when they face the Netherlands at Zurich’s Stadion Letzigrund on Wednesday evening (5pm, BST).

England suffered a 2-1 loss to France in their Euro 2025 opener, with Keira Walsh's late strike proving too little too late for the reigning European champions. Meanwhile, the Netherlands made a strong start with a commanding 3-0 win over Wales.

This means that if England lose on Wednesday, they could be eliminated from the tournament if France go on to avoid defeat against Wales in the 8pm fixture.

For my first bet, I'm backing both teams to find the back of the net at 3/4 with BetMGM.

England’s Euro 2022 triumph was underpinned by defensive strength, conceding just two goals across the entire tournament. But that solidity was nowhere to be seen in their Euro 2025 opener. The Lionesses looked shaky at the back against France, allowing 14 shots - six of them on target - and could have conceded more than two.

The Netherlands opened their campaign in style with a 3-0 win over Wales. That was the third time in five matches they've hit three goals, underlining their attacking threat with striker Vivianne Miedema - more on her shortly - in fine form.

Defensively, however, the Dutch haven’t been convincing. While the clean sheet against Wales was a positive, it was their first in 11 games dating back to 2024, with BTTS landing in nine of those fixtures.

With England boasting plenty of attacking firepower and needing a response, this match looks well set for goals at both ends.

Next up, I’m backing both Alessia Russo and Vivianne Miedema to get on the scoresheet at 7/1 with BetMGM.

Russo was denied a goal against France by a controversial VAR decision, but the England striker looks primed to make her mark against the Netherlands. She’s been a standout performer on the big stage, netting seven goals across Euro 2022 and the 2023 World Cup, and she enjoyed a superb 2024/25 season with Arsenal where she won the WSL Golden Boot and scored seven goals en route to lifting the Champions League trophy.

Vivianne Miedema kicked off Euro 2025 in style, scoring in the 3-0 win over Wales; her landmark 100th goal for the Netherlands. With three goals in her last two international appearances, the Dutch legend remains the country’s all-time top scorer across both men's and women’s football.

Given England’s defensive frailties and both strikers’ proven pedigree, this goalscorer double at 7/1 looks like a smart play in this crunch Group D duel.

England could look to make changes following the defeat to France. Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly will both be pushing for a start after they looked lively off the bench, while Niamh Charles could come in at left-back.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands will be expected to field the same starting 11 as the team that defeated Wales.
