Spain vs England prediction
Spain have done incredibly well to reach their first ever World Cup final after such a controversial build-up to the tournament and are a massively exciting team full of attacking talent, with some of the best players on the planet including Aitana Bonmati, while they are also no strangers to drama and late goals.
But England have certainly got that big-game experience in the locker after their fairytale Euros success on home soil at Wembley last summer and should make that pay off on the biggest stage of all to secure a sublime double inside 12 months, writing their names into football folklore in the process. Sporting immortality awaits.
England to win, 2-0.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
England also faced Spain at the quarter-final stage of last summer’s Euros, coming from behind to win 2-1 in extra time at Brighton’s Amex Stadium courtesy of dramatic goals from Toone and Georgia Stanway that eventually cancelled out Esther Gonzalez's opener.
They also met at the 2013 and 2017 Euros as well as at the 2022 Arnold Clark Cup, but this is the maiden Women’s World Cup clash between the two nations.
