England Women vs Italy Women Odds

Date: 22/07/25
Kick-off time: 20:00
Venue: Stade de Genève

A place in the UEFA Women’s European Championship final is at stake in Geneva as England Women vs Italy Women preview takes centre stage on Tuesday evening. This high-stakes encounter kicks off at 20:00 BST at Stade de Genève, where Sarina Wiegman’s reigning champions aim to defend their crown against Andrea Soncin’s resurgent Italy side. England booked their semi-final berth via a nervy penalty shootout win over Sweden, while Italy clinched a dramatic 2-1 victory over Norway thanks to a 90th-minute header from Cristiana Girelli.

England Women vs Italy Women Team News

The England Women vs Italy Women Team News is headlined by a fitness concern over Lionesses captain Leah Williamson, who limped off during the quarter-final with an ankle injury. If passed fit, she is expected to retain her place in a backline that has started the last three games, alongside Lucy Bronze, Jess Carter and Alex Greenwood. England’s midfield trio of Keira Walsh, Ella Toone and Georgia Stanway should remain unchanged, with Lauren James and Lauren Hemp operating in wide roles behind central striker Alessia Russo. Super-subs Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang, both impactful against Sweden, will likely begin on the bench.

For Italy, manager Andrea Soncin is considering a tactical shift to a three-at-the-back formation, which could see Martina Lenzini and Lisa Boattin return to the starting XI. Juventus striker Cristiana Girelli, who has netted three goals in four matches, remains Italy’s key attacking weapon. She is expected to spearhead the attack alongside Benedetta Glionna or Sofia Cantore, depending on the final tactical shape.

England Women probable XI: Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Carter, Greenwood; Toone, Walsh, Stanway; James, Hemp, Russo
Italy Women probable XI: Giuliani; Lenzini, Salvai, Linari; Oliviero, Caruso, Giugliano, Severini, Boattin; Cantore, Girelli

England Women vs Italy Women Betting Tips

The England Women vs Italy Women betting tips favour the defending champions, who have now won four of their last five matches against the Azzurre. England’s resolve was evident in their comeback against Sweden, and their depth in attack remains a potent weapon. Backing England to win in 90 minutes offers strong value, especially given their dominant recent 5-1 victory over Italy in February’s friendly.

Another attractive market is Cristiana Girelli to score anytime for Italy. With three goals in four appearances and a knack for turning up in big moments, she represents Italy’s most consistent attacking outlet.

Additionally, the Both Teams To Score (BTTS) market is worth considering. England’s defence has conceded in three of their last four matches, while Italy have scored in all but one of their tournament fixtures.
