We're down to just four teams in the Women's Euro 2025 Championships, with the semi-finals played on Tuesday and Wednesday. The remaining contenders aim to secure a place in Sunday's grand final at St. Jakobs-Park in Basel, Switzerland, the home of FC Basel. There's only space for two teams in the deciding match, but which pair will battle through, keeping their dreams alive?
On this page, we focus on the showdown in Geneva, where England and Italy renew rivalries from 20:00 BST on Tuesday.

Lionesses refuse to bow
England banked Euro 2022 with a memorable 2-1 win over Germany in London. They needed extra time to get over the line, with Chloe Kelly scoring what proved to be the winner with 110 minutes on the clock. It was a brave, never-say-die performance from the team that was worthy of winning any match at any major competition. Fast forward three years to the summer of 2025, and not much has changed in the England camp. They're still fighting hard, refusing to accept defeat, and grinding out important wins.
The defending champions finished second in Group D behind France, with their stats from the opening three games showing two wins and a defeat. They opened the show with a 2-1 loss to Les Bleus, with Keira Walsh netting a late consolation goal. Losing the opener ensured the team faced an uphill struggle to progress, but a 4-0 win over the Netherlands and the 6-1 rout of Wales kept them in the running.
England then battled back from 2-0 down against Sweden in Zurich to win the quarter-final on penalties. Bayern Munich attacker Georgia Stanway arrives in great form, already scoring two goals at this competition. She found the net against Wales and the Netherlands, and is value to add to that here. The trading team at bet365 have boosted Stanway's anytime scorer odds from 5/2 to 11/4, and that's a great bet.
Tip: Georgia Stanway to score @ 11/4 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Stanway scores in regulation time, your bet wins.
Italy target a tired defence
Italy would've enjoyed watching England's quarter-final slugfest with Sweden, hoping their semi-final opponents left their best in Switzerland's largest city. A marathon match produced four goals, and the resulting penalty shootout entered sudden-death, with seven missed spot kicks from both nations. Thursday's fixture wasn't only physically demanding, but also an emotional rollercoaster. We won't know what England has left until they go toe-to-toe with a determined Italian side fresh from a win over Norway.
The Italians' journey to the final four was every bit as interesting and entertaining as that of their opponents. They finished second in Group B behind pool champions Spain, with an even spread of one win, a draw and a single defeat, scoring three goals but conceding four. Their tally of four points was five fewer than the Spaniards, who racked up a perfect record, but one better than Belgium, who crossed the line in third place.
Andrea Soncin's team rode their luck in the opening exchanges, but proved they belong at this level when beating Norway 2-1 on Wednesday. That narrow victory means the Italians have found the net at least once in every game they've played at this tournament. I'm happy to stick with that trend, picking both teams to score.
Tip: Both teams to score @ 8/11 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You need both Italy and England to find the net at least once each.
England to edge the Italians in a thriller
I'll wrap things up with my third and final pick on Tuesday's match. Having selected both teams to find the net, given Italy's scoring record and England's tired defence, I'll stick with that train of thought. England are the favourites in the pre-match betting and enter as the defending European champions. It'll require their best to remain in the running, but England deserve to be favourites and have the class to deliver.
Placing a bet on both teams to score and England to win would've landed you a profit when they beat Wales 6-1. The Italians also found the net in their only defeat in Switzerland so far, when losing 3-1 to Spain in the groups. England handed Sweden a two-goal start in the quarters through some horrific defending, meaning they had to do things the hard way. I predict something similar in their return to action.
When betting on both teams to score and England to win, the final score doesn't matter. As long as England wins the match without the need for extra time or penalties, and Italy hits one or more goals in defeat, you'll boost your betting balance ahead of the final.
Tip: England win and both score @ 21/10 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You need England to win, but Italy to score.
