- Venue: Stade de GenèveStade de Genève
Italy will be looking to build on their successful start to the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 after their hard-fought 1-0 win over Belgium. On Monday, they will face Portugal at the Stade de Geneve, who got off to a disastrous start to the tournament with a 5-0 defeat against Spain.
The Italians were the better team during the 90 minutes against Belgium: 17 shots against 10 and 2 big scoring chances, the Belgians had none. The Italians were solid defensively, which should be a major concern for Portugal as they lack penetration in attack, as the 5-0 defeat to Spain showed.
Portugal W - Italy W Betting Tips: Italy to Win

It was Portugal’s fifth consecutive defeat in all competitions in terms of tournament football, while Italy are unbeaten in their last four games.
