England lost their opening game at Women’s Euro 2025, and could be knocked out of the competition on Wednesday.
Sarina Wiegman’s defending champions are in Group D alongside France, Wales and Netherlands.
However, they slumped to a disappointing opening defeat to France, cranking up the pressure for their remaining group games – and they could face an early exit this week.
If the Lionesses lose to Netherlands and France beat Wales, England will exit the competition. Both Netherlands and France would be on six points, and would fight it out for first and second spot in the final group game.
If England draw, they would move on to one point, remaining three behind the Netherlands. They would then need to win their final game against Wales and hope France beat the Dutch to stand a chance of reaching the knockout rounds.
If England win on Wednesday, they will go level on points with Netherlands, giving themselves a huge boost in their bid to reach the quarter-finals.
