Spain remain favoured to win Euro 2025 after a dominant display in group play. England and France are top contenders in the odds.

Beth Mead has credited England’s slow start against France for the Lionesses success at Euro 2025 so far ahead of a quarter-final against Sweden. England started off their Euro 2025 journey with a loss to France and there was plenty of fans who thought the reigning champions would be eliminated in the group stage.

Lauren James, who was a major doubt ahead of Sarina Wiegman’s squad selection, played her first match since April when she came on as a 63rd minute substitute in Sunday’s pre-tournament friendly — a 7-0 thrashing of Jamaica. And Wiegman said James could even start when the Lionesses kick off their title defense against France on Saturday in Zurich.
