Sweden Women vs England Women Prediction and Betting Tips: Back the Lionesses to qualify for Euro 2025

European Champions England can book their place at Euro 2025 when they take on Sweden in Gothenburg on Tuesday 16th July (6pm).

The Lionesses know firsthand what the men's team is going through right now, having lost to Spain in last year's World Cup Final in Sydney. 

The focus is now on qualifying automatically for Euro 2025, which is still in England's hands, despite an inconsistent showing so far in Group A3. With one round of matches remaining, England sit in the second automatic qualification spot on 10 points, two points behind leaders France, and three points ahead of Sweden in third, while the Republic of Ireland are cemented to the foot of the table.

If Sarina Wiegman's side avoid defeat away to Sweden, they will progress to next year's finals in Switzerland; however, a defeat means they will enter the play-offs.

BoyleSports have installed England as the 21/20 favourites to secure all three points, Sweden can be backed at 21/10, while a draw can be backed at 12/5.

England may need just a point to book their ticket to Euro 2025, however, Wiegman remains optimistic about winning Group A3 and has stated that the team's focus is securing all three points against Sweden.

"We are never playing a match to draw," Weigman said in her press conference. We are playing a match to win and [if] we win the game, we might even top the group too. Of course we’re depending on France [losing to the Republic of Ireland]. Everyone expects France to win but you never know what happens in football."

England have won seven of their last nine matches, three of which have been in Group A3. They are priced at odds-against (21/20) to claim their third win on the spin, however, although like the added value of 14/5 for the visitors to win and for both teams to score.

England have scored in all 13 matches since losing to Spain 1-0 in last August's World Cup Final; scoring two or more goals in nine of those outings. Wiegman will, though, be concerned at her side's defensive shortcomings: they have conceded in six of their last seven matches and eight of their last 10 in all competitions.

More often than not England find a way through, with a win and both teams to score landing in half of those aforementioned 10 games, including their last two Group A3 games against France and the Republic of Ireland.

Following on from the first bet, I'm backing England to win 2-1 at 15/2 with BoyleSports.

England have registered this scoreline in their last two group games against France and the Republic of Ireland, while Sweden lost 2-1 to France last Friday.

The Swedes have to go all out for the win as a draw or defeat will mean they'll miss out on automatic qualification, which could lead to an open match, with England possessing the attacking talent to hurt the hosts should space open up in the final third.

However, as mentioned, England are not as solid as they once were under Wiegman, having kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 games.

With the Boylesports 2 goals ahead offer, if the team you back is leading by two goals at any point in the game, then Boylesports will pay out your bet as a win, regardless of the final outcome.
