Arguably, the two best teams in European women’s football will face off on Sunday at the St. Jakob-Park Stadium in Basel, when defending European Women Champions England face World Cup winners Spain in a game that will likely be tactical and close. England is playing their third consecutive final after winning the 2022 Euros and losing to Spain in the final of the 2023 World Cup. La Roja has grown from strength to strength in recent years and are on course to win a third straight title, having won the World Cup in 2023 and the Nations League trophy last year. The two sides have already met this year, trading wins in the Nations League. England women took a 1-0 victory at home in Wembley, before losing 2-1 to Spain in Barcelona. The Spaniards, unbeaten so far in this Euros, are the bookmakers' favorites to win the game and claim their first European Championship.

England Women
The Lionesses are bidding to retain their title and join the elite group of multiple Women's Euros winners. Backed by the brilliant Sarina Wiegman, who is appearing in a fifth consecutive major final, England women’s progress has been akin to that of a cat with nine lives rather than ferocious predators. After a loss against France in their opening game, the Lionesses regrouped and qualified for the knockout stages with a flourish. There, their limitations became obvious. England women came from two goals down to force extra time against Sweden in the quarterfinals, winning 3-2 after fourteen penalties were kicked. In the semifinals, they needed another last-gasp equalizer to force extra time against Italy before getting the win in extra time. Michelle Agyemang has become the toast of the English fans, popping up on both occasions with the goal that forced extra time. Star player Lauren James will have to prove her fitness in order to start, having been hooked at around the hour mark in the semifinal. Esme Morgan, who returned to the starting lineup against Italy, will continue in the center of defense, while the fierce debate of whether Sarina Wiegman should start Agyemang and Chloe Kelly, both of whom have made an impact in two knockout games, continues, with the pair likely to start from the bench again.
England Women Possible Starting Lineup:
Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Morgan, Greenwood, Stanway, Walsh, Toone, Kelly, Hemp, Russo.

La Roja cruised through the European Women's Championships in Switzerland with the swagger of world champions. Spain topped Group B with three victories. They then saw off the hosts in the quarterfinals, before facing a stiff German opposition in the semis. A goalless draw in regulation time led to an extra 30 minutes, before Aitana Bonmati scored in the second half of extra time to hand Spain women a ticket to the Euro Women's Championship showpiece. The world champions and Nations League winners will be keen to get one over England in the Euros after the Lionesses beat them 2-1 in the quarterfinal of Euro 2022, en route to winning the trophy. In their Nations League meeting last June in Barcelona, England took a first-half lead before a second-half comeback, inspired by a Claudia Pina brace, clinched an impressive win for La Roja. Spain's Laia Aleixandri is poised to return to the starting lineup after serving a suspension. Leading scorers Esther Gonzalez and Alexia Putellas, with five and four goals respectively, will once again lead the Spanish attack.
Spain Women Possible Starting Lineup:
Coll; Batlle, Paredes, Aleixandri, Carmona; Bonmati, Guijarro, Putellas; Caldentey, Pina, Gonzalez.
