- Competition: EURO W, Semi-Finals
- Date: Tuesday, 22nd July, 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: Stade de Genève (Geneva)
England's women's national football team is the reigning EURO champion, which is also their only major title in history. However, despite having only one major title, England W have been one of the best teams in the World and Europe, constantly making deep runs for over a decade. In this EURO W tournament, England W opened with a loss, but then went on and won three in a row, albeit the last one vs Sweden W after a penalty shootout. Right now, the bookies see them as the second favorite for the title, offering odds of 3.75 on that bet.
Italy W are one of the national teams that have never won a major title, and their performances in recent tournaments have been subpar. In the last two EURO W, they finished their journeys in the group stage. In this EURO W, they haven't been great, but still managed to reach the Semi-Finals after knocking out Norway 2:1 with a goal in the last minutes of the match. However, the bookies do not trust them and consider them the weakest of the teams left in the competition.
England W vs Italy W pick: Over 2.5 goals
England W have been absolutely incredible for this bet, going over 2.5 goals bet in all four matches thus far. If we take a look further back, England W went over 2.5 goals in nine consecutive games! They did exceptionally well offensively in this tournament, scoring a total of 13 goals - 3.25 per game.
Italy W went over this line in back-to-back games vs Norway W and Spain W. Even though they haven't been as good offensively as England, they still scored at least a goal in all four matches vs Belgium, Portugal, Spain, and Norway. So, we expect them to score in this game as well.
In the last h2h game, England W won 5:1. Additionally, in the 21st century, we saw three or more goals in five of seven matches - 71%. Considering all the above, we believe that an over 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this EURO W Semi-Finals tie.
