The Euro 2025 quarter-final match between Spain and Switzerland will take place on July 18 at the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern, Switzerland. Spain vs. Switzerland: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Spain (Women)
The Spanish team confidently advanced through the group stage, winning all three matches. Only in the match against Italy did they not achieve a significant advantage (3-1). Notably, during the Euro 2025 group stage, Spain scored more goals than any other team, with a total of 14. Additionally, Tome Montserrat's side has secured seven consecutive victories in official matches. In the previous European Championship, Spain also reached the playoffs but was eliminated in the quarter-finals. Overall, the team consistently advances past the group stage in Euros, but they have always been knocked out in the first round of the playoffs.
Key players in this tournament include forward Esther Gonzalez, who has already scored four goals, and midfielder Alexia Putellas, who leads the tournament in the goal + assist system (3 goals and 4 assists).
- Spain has not scored more than three goals in 9 of their last 12 European Championship matches.
- Both teams scored in 6 of Spain's last 7 official matches.
- Spain conceded at least one goal in 5 of their last 7 Euro matches.
Predicted lineup for Spain (Women) (4-3-3)
Adriana Nanclares – Leila Ouahabi, Maria Mendez, Irene Paredes, Jana Fernandez – Alexia Putellas, Patricia Guijarro, Aitana Bonmati – Mariona Caldentey, Salma Paralluelo, Athenea del Castillo.
Switzerland (Women)
In the final round of the group stage, Switzerland faced Finland and was trailing during the match but managed to equalize in the last minute (1-1), allowing them to advance to the Euro 2025 playoffs. Pia Sundhage's side finished second in their group, ahead of Finland on goal difference. This marks Switzerland's first appearance in the playoff stage after three participations in the European Championships. In the previous tournament, Switzerland earned only one point from three games. Currently, the team demonstrates solid defense, conceding only three goals in the group stage, with only Sweden conceding fewer (1 goal).
It should be noted that three days before the quarter-final, Switzerland canceled a training session due to several players having colds. However, later that day, team stars Smilla Vallotto and Nadine Riesen reported that some players showed flu symptoms, but nothing serious.
- Both teams scored in 7 of Switzerland's last 8 Euro matches.
- Switzerland has not lost by more than one goal in 8 of their last 9 Euro games.
- The team has not conceded more than two goals in 13 of their last 15 official matches.
Predicted lineup for Switzerland (Women) (5-3-2)
Livia Peng – Nadine Riesen, Noelle Maritz, Julia Stierli, Viola Calligaris, Iman Beney – Smilla Vallotto, Lia Walti, Geraldine Reuteler – Svenja Fölmli, Sydney Schertenleib.

Match Prediction: Spain (Women) vs. Switzerland (Women)
In this Euro, Tome Montserrat's team has scored at least three times in each of their matches. In general, Spain has scored three or more goals in 9 of their last 10 official matches. A strong bench allows them to maintain a high tempo throughout the match, while their unstable defense, which conceded in 8 of their last 9 official games, encourages them to attack actively.
Switzerland has already achieved a historic result by reaching the Euro playoffs for the first time. The decisive goal in the third-round match was scored in the final moments, costing the team considerable effort and emotions. In their last five official matches against top-15 ranked teams, Switzerland conceded at least three goals.
Additionally, the teams met in the previous major tournament, the World Cup, also in the first playoff round. Spain won convincingly (5-1). Moreover, Spain won the last two head-to-head meetings with a score of 7-1 and 5-0. Considering all this, my prediction is "Spain Individual Total Over 3".
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match.
