Jamie Griffith's Women's Euros predictions

Three years on from their stunning triumph in the 2022 Women's Euros, Sarina Wiegman's England get the chance to defend their title in Switzerland.

Chloe Kelly's dramatic extra-time winner against Germany at Wembley clinched a maiden European title for the Lionesses, who very nearly followed up in spectacular fashion when finishing as runners-up at the World Cup a year later, proving that home advantage was far from the only reason for their triumph.

They were beaten 1-0 by Spain in the final of that tournament and it seems extremely likely they will need to exact revenge on La Roja at some stage in Switzerland if they are to retain their crown. The world champions are strong favourites for glory this summer.

However, England were certainly not favourites three years ago and, even though they are a side in transition now, they should not be written off.

The absence of iconic stars Mary Earps, Millie Bright and Fran Kirby have left holes to fill but if any manager knows how to reshape a side it is Wiegman, the only coach to lead two different countries, the Netherlands and England, to European glory.

Those absences would have hit much harder if there was not another promising group of Lionesses coming through. Fit-again Alex Greenwood can fill Bright's spot in the back four, while rising star Maya Le Tissier is another suitable option at centre-back and 2024-25 WSL Golden Glove winner Hannah Hampton was a key component of Chelsea's treble-winning side and was already being preferred to Earps between the sticks due to her superior distribution.

Kirby was becoming a fading force and the timely return of Georgia Stanway and Lauren James, continued brilliance of Ella Toone and emergence of Grace Clinton mean England are hardly short of options alongside the ever-excellent Keira Walsh in midfield.

All-time top scorer Ellen White is no longer around to lead the line as she did in 2022 but she was outperformed by her usual second-half replacement Alessia Russo at that tournament.

Russo scored four times in six substitute appearances during the Lionesses' triumphant run three years ago and will be the main striker this time. She has enjoyed back-to-back 12-goal WSL seasons with Arsenal and, encouragingly for the chances of Wiegman's side, she is far from England's only goal threat.

Beth Mead, Lauren Hemp and 2022 hero Kelly will all provide a danger from wide but perhaps most exciting is the fact that there are two young forwards who could have a Russo-like impact from the bench – Aggie Beever-Jones and Michelle Agyemang, who have scored six goals in their combined nine appearances.

The betting suggests world champions Spain, Germany and France will be the biggest threats to England's title defence, and those four sides are well ahead of the other 12 teams in the outright market.

Germany are a side in transition and while they have impressed in the early stages of Christian Wuck's reign, they remain hard to trust. The same is true of France and they perhaps lack the depth of their three biggest title rivals.

Spain are the obvious dangers. Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati have won the last four Ballons d'Or between them and Claudia Pina, Salma Paralluelo and Mariona Caldentey make up an extremely strong squad for the world champions.

However, six members of England's squad were part of the Arsenal team who beat the Barcelona team which makes up the majority of La Roja's roster in the Champions League final and that mental edge could come in handy if the sides clash in the knockout rounds.

It will not be easy, but there is enough to like about this current crop of England stars to suggest a second straight title is not a pipe dream.

Wiegman, who has won every one of the 12 Euro matches she has overseen in her career, has the perfect mix of exciting youngsters and experienced stalwarts – 13 of the squad from 2022 head to Switzerland – at her disposal to lead the Lionesses to glory again.
