Women’s Euro 2025 predictions including winners, runners-up, top scorer and best player prediction at Uefa tournament

After Germany won six consecutive editions between 1995 and 2013, oddsmakers believe the 2025 Women’s Euro will be the third straight instalment of the finals to finish with new champions.

Beth Mead, who was the joint-top scorer for winners England in 2022, is part of the Lionesses’ squad again, but Germany’s Alexandra Popp, who joined Mead in netting twice more than any other player, has retired since her side lost in the final.

Aitana Bonmati retained her Ballon d’Or Feminin title in 2024 and is part of Spain’s squad, as is Alexia Putellas, the winner of the award in 2021 and 2022.

101GreatGoals.com surveys the state of play at Women’s Euro 2025 and predicts who will lift the trophy, be in the final and win the individual awards at the tournament in Switzerland.

Euro 2025: Women’s final winner prediction

The holders face a tricky-looking group featuring 10th-ranked France, who are now under Laurent Bonadei and reached the semi-finals in 2022 and the Nations League final, and the Netherlands, who were 2017 champions and can still call upon the likes of Vivianne Miedema, Danielle van de Donk and Jill Roord from that campaign.

England are likely to face second-ranked Spain or third-ranked Germany if they reach the quarter-finals, with La Roja warm favourites to win the title and Die Nationalelf potentially the most formidable next opponents alongside France.

Nations League winners Spain have never been European champions and have one significant advantage with the availability of Putellas this time around, the two-time Fifa Best Women’s Player having suffered a tournament-ending injury on the eve of the 2022 finals.

The hype around the favourites is justified and Montse Tome’s players can be expected to complete a clean sweep of trophies, although there are numerous teams beyond the leading contenders with the capacity to spring surprises.

Norway’s Ada Hegerberg was the last European to be crowned the best footballer in the world before Bonmati and Putellas, in 2018, and the forward’s country dominated the game between 1987 and 2000.

The likes of Barcelona winger Caroline Graham Hansen and Frida Maanum, whose Arsenal team shocked the Spanish giants in this season’s Champions League final, should shine.

Sweden have reached the final three times since winning the 1984 competition and have at least reached the quarter-finals in each of the last eight, including three runs to the semi-finals in the last five.

Italy finished top of a qualifying group containing the Netherlands and Norway, and Portugal were unbeaten in qualifying, although A Seleccao das Quinas lost 4-2 to Spain and suffered heavy defeats to Spain, England and Belgium in the Nations League.

Women’s Euro 2025: Who will reach the final?

With Spain hypothetically destined for the final, Germany are undoubtedly the team most likely to meet them in the final on paper.

If, however, only one of those teams slips up and finishes second, our permutations would have Spain knocking Germany out in the semi-finals.

That might open the door for England, France or the Netherlands to reach the final from Group D, as could an underachievement of the kind Norway experienced in 2022, in which Belgium and Austria defied the rankings to reach the last 16.

England’s run in 2022 was something of a surprise, with the momentum of home support pivotal and players reaching new heights under Sarina Wiegman.

Switzerland’s prolonged uncertain form would make it a significant upset if they went far at the finals, not least because 153-cap, 60-goal forward Ramona Bachmann is out injured.

Women’s Euro 2025 best player: Who will be player of the tournament?

Germany’s Klara Buhl was the top assist provider in the German top flight in 2024-25, setting up 13 goals, while Alessia Russo had a breakthrough tournament for England in 2022 and was the joint-top scorer in the Women’s Super League last season, scoring 12 times.

Russo joined other Lionesses including Leah Williamson in winning the Champions League, and one of their Arsenal team-mates, Stina Blackstenius, could inspire Sweden alongside Barca’s Fridolina Rolfo.

If we are to back Spain to become champions, though, it is likeliest that the star of the show will come from their squad, with the inspirational Irene Paredes among a list of prime Barca candidates.

Fellow defender Olga Carmona, who plays for Real Madrid, and Barca midfielders Putellas and Patricia Guijarro could also be in the running alongside Blaugrana forwards Salma Paralluelo, Graham Hansen, Cristina Martin-Prieto and Athenea del Castillo.

As the player who so often is Spain’s leading light, Bonmati is surely the standout to eclipse everyone, having been the only player from her country in the Team of the Tournament in 2022, when they were knocked out after extra time by England in the quarter-finals.

Women’s Euro 2025 top scorer: Who will score the most goals?

Mead scored seven goals and set up three last season, but the superstar’s total paled in comparison to Lineth Beerensteyn’s tally for Wolfsburg, with the Netherlands striker notching 16 league goals to finish as the joint top scorer in the Frauen-Bundesliga.

Beerensteyn could form a formidable partnership with Miedema, who has won the golden boot in the Champions League and England twice each and is a former top scorer at Women’s Euro Under-19.

Graham Hansen is a reliably prolific presence for Barca, for whom Putellas top-scored with 16 goals last season, one ahead of international team-mate Alba Redondo’s total for Real Madrid.

We will tip Bayern Munich’s Lea Schuller, who scored six of her 52 career Germany goals during qualifying, to take the honours this time, but the 2022 German Footballer of the Year will have stiff competition.

Denmark have two hugely experienced forwards who have averaged almost a goal every other international in Bayern’s Pernille Harder and Real Madrid’s Signe Bruun.

Clara Mateo scored 18 of third-placed Paris’s 58 league goals last season to finish on three more than any other player in Division 1, and Barca and Poland’s Ewa Pajor was seven ahead of any player in Liga F, netting 25 times.

Maanum’s seven goals made her the top scorer in qualifying to reach the finals, while Seattle Reign and Wales midfielder Jess Fishlock scored six goals and set up three, with Portugal forward Diana Silva also finishing on six.

Women’s Euro Under-25 Young Player of the Tournament

Germany midfielder Lena Oberdorf won the inaugural Young Player of the Tournament award but misses out this time through injury.

A host of players are well placed to succeed her, including 18-year-old Barcelona and Spain winger Vicky Lopez, the winner of the Golden Girl award for the most impressive young female player in Europe in 2024.

Netherlands forward Esme Brugts, 21, scored 11 goals in all competitions for Barca last season, and team-mate Wieke Kaptein was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, with England midfielder Grace Clinton the winner and defender Aggie Beever-Jones also shortlisted.

Iceland drew all three of their games in 2022 and if they are to beat their best ever run at the finals – a quarter-final berth in 2013 – they may need Cecilia Ran Runarsdottir to show why the 21-year-old was named Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year in 2024/25 during a loan to Inter from Bayern.

Switzerland, too, are hoping to qualify from a group also containing Finland and Norway, and the host nation will have a hugely popular emerging star to call upon in rangy forward Sydney Schertenleib, who we are backing to be the best young player.

At 18, Schertenleib has already shown a touch of the Bonmati to her creative play, featuring 18 times in Liga F and the Champions League for Barcelona last season.

Prolific at Under-19 level, Schertenleib scored 13 minutes after coming on against Turkiye in qualifying last July and struck from 25 yards against Norway in the Nations League in February.
