Spain Women v England Women Prediction: 7/2 Lionesses can seal World Cup qualification

England Women take on Spain Women in Mallorca on Friday evening and know a positive result can secure qualification to next year's World Cup finals in Brazil.

The Lionesses are top of Group A3 with four wins from four and can go six points clear with another victory in a repeat of the Euro 2025 final.

However, Spain are reigning champions and currently ranked number one in the world by FIFA so will prove formidable opposition.

Not only that but they will be out to avenge the 1-0 defeat they suffered at Wembley last April.

Spain Women v England Women Prediction

Best Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ 5/4

England against Spain is always an exciting and intriguing fixture, but it is rarely a goal-fest when these two sides meet.

While the Lionesses beat Spain on penalties in last summer's Euros final, that game was 1-1 after 90 minutes, while three of the last five matches dating back to August 2023 have featured just a single goal.

While England can qualify for next summer's World Cup with a draw, a Spain victory would see the Red One tie with the Lionesses on 12 points.

With that in mind and so much on the line on Friday evening when the teams meet at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, home of La Liga side Real Mallorca, it looks set to be another tight and tense encounter.

What's more, England have kept six clean sheets in the last seven games while Spain have conceded only two goals in eight matches.

Based on recent history and looking at the magnitude of the game, backing under 2.5 goals may prove a wise choice.

Alternative Bet: England to win @ 7/2

England have the upper hand over Spain when it comes to the head-to-head record since 2007, winning eight of the 16 matches between the sides and losing only four.

Of course, that means there have been four draws and the sides are very evenly matched at the top of the women's game.

However, the Lionesses are extremely settled and efficient under Sarina Wiegman and will be confident of following up April's Wembley triumph with another narrow victory in Mallorca.

While Spain have already won the Nations League with coach Sonia Bermudez, but the former Barcelona forward has only been in the post for 10 months so the building process is still taking place following last summer's Euros final defeat.

England have taken control of the group and know that grinding out a fifth win would secure their spot in Brazil.

Spain Women v England Women Bet Builder Tip

• Edna Imade to score anytime

• Alessia Russo to record 1+ shots on target

• Hannah Hampton to make 3+ saves

  Pays @ 13/5

Edna Imade has scored four goals in Spain's four qualifying games this campaign.

The forward, who spent the season on loan at Real Sociedad from Bayern Munich, made her international debut in 2025 and netted a brace in April's 5-0 win over Ukraine.

With nearly a goal per game for the White-Blue, Imade has shown strong form recently and could be a smart pick to get on the scoresheet on Friday.

England’s Alessia Russo, meanwhile, ended the domestic season strongly with Arsenal, scoring four goals in the last three matches, putting in a top performance against Aston Villa.

Russo is playing with confidence and so may be a smart bet to record 1+ shots on target in Mallorca.

With Spain determined to keep their World Cup qualification hopes alive and boasting home advantage, the hosts will likely create a number of good chances, so England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton could be set for a busy night.
