Lionesses can overcome handicap
England are just 1/20 to beat the Welsh on Sunday night, with their opponents having already been defeated 3-0 by the Netherlands and 4-1 by France.
For that reason I've created a bet builder to boost the price of the victory that the Lionesses need as they look to book their place in the knockout stages of Euro 2025.
With Wales having lost both their games by three-goal margins, I'm starting by backing England with -2.5 goals on the handicap.
The Lionesses' centre back Alex Greenwood has averaged 2.0 fouls per 90 minutes at Euro 2025 and the Welsh midfielder Jess Fishlock has 1.8, so I'm adding both those players to commit one or more fouls in the game.
Lauren James scored twice in the 4-0 win over the Dutch and my final selection is for her to have one or more shots on target, which brings the accumulative odds to 6/5.
Russo proving to be more than just a goalscorer
Arsenal forward is the 4/9 favourite to score a goal in this match.
That is no surprise, considering that she is the starting striker for England and has found the net 23 times in 53 appearances for her country.
Yet there could be more value to be found in backing the Gunner to be a provider, as she had three assists in the 4-0 win over the Netherlands.
Russo expertly brought others into play in that match, and she looks better value to provide another goal at 6/4 than she is to score herself.

England fans watch on nervously as Lionesses fall behind in final

Fans draped in England flags joined the Prince of Wales and his daughter Princess Charlotte in holding their heads in their hands as Mariona Caldentey put Spain 1-0 up in the final on Sunday. William and Charlotte were pictured in Switzerland for the Euros final as the royal family led the nation in wishing good luck to England's Lionesses. Shortly before kick-off, an image of the pair was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales's X account with the caption 'let's go, Lionesses'. Let's go, @Lionesses! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) July 27, 2025 As Caldentey's header found the net in the 25th minute, William and Charlotte were pictured with their heads in their hands and crowds in fanzones across England fell silent as they watched proceedings. Before kick-off, supporters waved England flags and loudly sang the national anthem at Boxpark Croydon and star striker Michelle Agyemang's former team, Brandon Groves Community Club in Essex. Agyemang, 19, who had one England cap before the tournament, scored crucial equalisers in the Lionesses' quarter-final and semi-final comebacks. Ahead of the game, 11-year-old Violet Ingram, a left winger for Brandon Grove Emeralds, said: 'Seeing her (Agyemang) and the team just makes me feel like I can do anything I want to do.' The Prince of Wales, who is patron of the Football Association (FA), applauded the national anthem as he stood next to Charlotte in the stadium. In a show of support ahead of the final, the Band of the Grenadier Guards performed Three Lions on the Buckingham Palace forecourt, while the royal family's official X account posted: 'Wishing the very best of luck to the @Lionesses in the Women's Euro Final this evening.' William posted a good luck message on Saturday which read: 'Good luck to the Lionesses tomorrow. Let's go girls!! 💪🦁⚽️ Wishing the very best of luck to the @Lionesses in the Women's Euro Final this evening. — The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) July 27, 2025 'The nation is so proud you are through to the final, after some stunning comebacks! We are all cheering you on! W.' After England beat Italy 2-1 in the semi-final in Geneva on Tuesday evening, the King and Queen wished the team their 'warmest congratulations'. Charles said: 'Knowing the Lionesses' fighting spirit, I suspect we are in for another thrilling encounter on Sunday. 'Your achievements continue to inspire countless girls and women across the nation, proving once again that with dedication and teamwork, anything is possible. 'Good luck, England. May you roar to victory once more. Charles R.' Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: 'Into the final and inspiring the nation. Let's bring it home.' He said the team had 'changed the game – breaking barriers, making history and inspiring the next generation.' 'Tonight, the whole nation will be behind them. Come on England!' Sir Keir said. The @Lionesses have changed the game — breaking barriers, making history and inspiring the next generation. Tonight, the whole nation will be behind them.

Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson said the team has 'absolutely smashed it', adding that 'everybody is so proud of you'. Meanwhile, BBC Sport and ITV have secured the broadcasting rights for the Women's World Cup 2027, meaning the tournament will remain free-to-air for UK viewers. England's path to the final has been marked by late drama. They sealed their spot with a last-gasp extra-time win over Italy, following a penalty shootout victory against Sweden in the quarter-finals after nearly crashing out in extra time. The Lionesses will be looking for redemption against Spain, who edged them 1-0 in the 2023 Women's World Cup final. England boss Sarina Wiegman said the team is 'going to do everything we can to win it' and she would prefer to avoid a 'nerve-wracking' match.

Ian Wright slams Sarina Wiegman for 'massive mistake' in Women's Euros final

Ian Wright was baffled by a Sarina Wiegman decision ahead of the final of the Women's Euros between England and Spain, confused as to why she gambled on an unfit Lauren James on the left wing. James came into Sunday's showpiece with an ankle injury and did not even make it to half time in Basel. She was substituted after 40 minutes, replaced by Chloe Kelly, after a disappointing performance as the Lionesses struggled to deal with the favourites. Wright felt it was too much of a gamble for Wiegman to pick James from the start, while he was also surprised by where she was played. Often on the right flank, the Arsenal legend had called for James to be deployed down the middle, but couldn't work out why she was played on the left, with defensive responsibilities that were very difficult to fulfil while not at full fitness. 'Massive risk,' Wright said on ITV of James' selection. 'I think she's wasted a sub there. 'She's obviously not right and not only that, she's put her on the other side. I said she should have been in the centre, not on the left side! 'Having to chase back Ona Batlle and chase back Aitana Bonmati when you're half fit. I think that's a massive mistake.' England were already 1-0 down when James limped out of the game, with Mariona Caldentey heading in Spain's opener after 25 minutes. More Trending The goal did come down Spain's right flank, with Batlle providing the assist. Things improved for England in the second half, though, and James' replacement helped conjure up an equaliser after 57 minutes. Kelly whipped in an excellent, in-swinging cross from the left which was expertly headed home by Alessia Russo and it was game on again.
