How Sweden and England reached the quarter-finals
Sweden topped Group C with maximum points after beating Denmark, Poland and Germany.
Their victory over Germany was the most impressive, taking a 4-1 victory against a side seen as one of the top four contenders to lift the trophy this month.
Peter Gerhardsson’s side had the best defence in the group stage, conceding just one goal across their three games.
Goalkeeper Jennifer Falk and centre-back Nathalie Bjorn made our Euro 2025 team of the group stage.
England recovered from a poor start to finish second in Group D. Their 2-1 defeat to France might actually pay off for the Lionesses as it means the earliest they can play tournament favourites Spain is in the final.
Sarina Wiegman’s side were lethal in their 4-0 victory over the Netherlands and 6-1 triumph against Wales.
Sweden have reached the semi-finals of their last three major tournaments, but England will fancy their chances after scoring 10 goals in their last two games.
Sweden vs England predicted lineups
Fridolina Rolfo made her return from injury against Germany and will likely start for Sweden again vs England.
Right-back Hannah Lundqvist and midfielder Julia Zigotti Olme are both pushing for recalls.
Arsenal striker Stina Blackstenius has scored six goals in her last five for Sweden and is a player the Lionesses will need to be wary of on Thursday evening.
For England, there is no reason to change after their excellent displays against the Netherlands and Wales.
Their defence has worked better since swapping Jess Carter and Alex Greenwood, while Lauren James has the edge over Beth Mead on the right-wing.
Sweden Women predicted XI (4-3-3): Falk; Lundkvist, Bjorn, Eriksson, Andersson; Angeldahl, Asllani, Zigiotti Olme; Rytting Kaneryd, Rolfo, Blackstenius
England Women predicted XI (4-3-3): Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Carter, Greenwood; Stanway, Walsh, Toone; James, Hemp, Russo
Sweden vs England prediction
England beat Sweden 4-0 at Euro 2022, but both of their meetings in qualifying for Euro 2025 resulted in draws.
The Lionesses have been ruthless in front of goal in their last two games, but Sweden have only conceded one goal in three games.
Sweden reached the semi-finals of the last three major international tournaments. However, England reached the finals of Euro 2022 and the 2023 World Cup.
With that said, we predict England’s recent know-how of reaching finals of major competitions will give them the edge against Sweden.
In a tight affair England will win 2-1 in extra-time, which according to the UK’s best betting sites, is available at odds of 17/2.
Prediction: Sweden 1-2 England (AET) – 17/2 odds for England to win in extra-time
Sweden vs England betting tips
- Sweden vs England betting tip 1: Alessia Russo to score anytime – 17/10
Third time was the charm for Alessia Russo after scoring for England in their 6-1 win over Wales.
After having goals disallowed in their games with France and the Netherlands, Russo finally got off the mark in England’s third game.
That could be the spark to get her tournament going in terms of goals.
Her all-around game has been excellent at Euro 2025 – bagging three assists in the win over the Netherlands.
Here at SheKicks, we predict Russo will add to her tally against Sweden.
- Sweden vs England betting tip 2: Both teams to score – 3/4
Both Sweden and England have scored in every game they have played so far at Women’s Euro 2025.
There is not much between these two nations and given the attacking talent on display, we predict both teams will score.
